I was struggling a bit when I jumped from a D70s to a D300 and that was invaluable. Working with my camera, practical examples and even walking outside to try things was awesome. (I actually drove down to Raleigh from Philly too!) The class was limited to 12 people which ensured some one-on-one time with the instructor.</blockquote>Thanks, I'll sure take a look. I am struggling with the manual, although I haven't gotten very far lol. I'm such a visual learner and the workshop sounds like it would be very useful.Joseph, is it really hard to deal with the RAW files?? And what's the best software to use? I have never edited photos at all, and have other things that need my monetary attention for now, so it will be a bit before I can purchase a program that costs much.  I'm glad you told me that about using the RAW files right off as I would certainly have thought it best to stick with the easy JPEG files. I know the RAW files are preferable d/t the editing ability. You guys are great and I appreciate your tolerance if these issues have been brought up repeatedly, as I'm sure they have![/QUOTE]
