Gareth, thanks for the welcome!!

Looks like I've arrived at the right place to answer all the questions I'm going to have!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome !! Once I've finished reading "DSLR for Dummies" (certainly pitched at my level :wink I'll give it a proper whirl...without the camera set to auto !!

Certainly looking forward to the challenge!!!!

Guess who's got two thumbs and a brand new K-x DSLR camera.....me !!!*pointing to self with said thumbs!!*

Brand new to DSLR....only experience is with point and shoot digital cameras for the ubiquitous shots of the young 'uns while they were growing up.

So many new things to learn....

Best wishes to all,
