Hello everyone I bought my first SLR (D5100 Nikon) a month back and I figured this would be a great place to learn a bit more about how to actuall use it. Most of the pictures I take are all automotive but I take a few others as well. All my shots are raw and not edited at all, as I have no experience in editing any photos so any tips on a cheap and easy program to help clear up photos would also be appreciated.

Below is some of my work. I also have another pending question, right now I have an 18-55mm lense but lookin for a more point and shoot capable lense. It seems most of the time with this lense I can only focus on a single object not an entire scene. Thanks in avanced!

Here is where most of my work is hosted and below are some highlights = CarAudiophile's photosets on Flickr

Thanks for the feedback on the open source programs, I tried using the normal
