I got a Nikon D40x in december I took photography 1-4 in high schol but used an SLR during that period. I still don't know a lot about how to use all the settings and suck on the camera I've skimmed the manual a few times but should I sit down and read the whole thing so I know how to use the different things offered on the camera or is there a class or something I can take to learn more? How did you get aquanted with yours? Also what program do you use. I'm a college student i can't afford photoshop do you have suggestion? THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

how on earth did you get boarding pass #2??
there must only be what 6 of them??
we got there early and there was only about 12 or so people a head of us and yet we still got #3
not that it really mattered since mere minutes after they called for #2 they were calling #3 (which tells me there weren't that many 2's to start with
No idea, we were there very early. Had to stand out in the shuttle shelter in the rain until they opened the terminal. There were quite a few people ahead of us in line to get in so I was very surprised to get the 2.I haven't done anything in particular to learn photography. I'm still not familiar with a lot of the functions on my camera, I need to read the manual myself! The only way I feel I have gotten better is a LOT of practice. You know, I am a working professional and I can't afford photoshop either, its just too expensive! I have photoshop elements which you can buy anywhere for about $80. If you want to go the free route, I recommend downloading GIMP at http://www.gimp.org/. It has a lot of great features and plugins as well as several fan sites with tutorials.
The disboards also has a good photography forum with a lot of talented and experienced photographers who know a lot more than I do. I'm still in the learning mode myself
Thanks,
