For my work I travel around the U.S., but when I am not traveling I call the frozen land of Minnesota home. I have always loved taking pictures. I recently purchased a Nikon D80 and I really like it so far. I came to the forum to learn as much as I can from everyone on here.
Read all the posts on all the forums you can, look at the photos, think about what the people are saying. Stick a camera to your face and take pictures, look at them on your computer, fidget with them, throw some out, post some and ask for comments!
Welcome and glad you found us. We can always use another Nikonian around here. You'll enjoy your new camera.
