Hello all!

I'm not sure whether I'm a newbie or something more advanced than that.

I've been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've owned Canon cameras (FTb, T-50, and a 2 megapixel Digital Elph) and a few oddball brands. I've used the old AE-1 and a medium format camera that I cannot remember the make on. About a month ago my wife surprised me with a Nikon D5100 with the kit 18-70mm Nikon lens as an early Father's Day present. I've been like a kid in a candy shop ever since. I've spent so much time messing around with the camera that I've fallen behind on a few things around the house. I haven't taken many pictures in the last couple of days trying to get caught up, but I'm still getting a few in.

I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone in the forum as I climb the steep learning curve to get back up to speed. There's a lot more buttons on the dSLR than my cameras ever had but that's not stopping me.

Thanks for making a forum for Nikon owners - I'm an avid believer in the power of a good forum as a learning tool.

Welcome to the club!

Yeah....when I first got my D90 it was really hard to put it down. There are quite a few good books/guides out now.
