Showed the wife Graves and 04sleepers pics on here (among others), and my devious plan worked, haha! Been hinting about how nice it would be to have a decent camera and she went out and bought me a D40 for a early Birthday present.
Anyway feel free to lend me any pointers on settings and what not, could of used some better light but was just wanting to shoot a few. Shots were done in "P mode" with auto ISO going from 200 - 1600. Still learning the ins and outs of all the settings and features but any help would be appreciated!

Kinda liked how the blue sky glows on the top of the car.

Congrats on the new purchase! I'm addicted to my XTi, check out some books or YouTube videos. They will help you out alot and a tri-pod is a def. for some good shots!

I'll have to check these out when I'm not at work... bunch of red X's.

I wish I could use that line on my gf.. " Hey babe, look at how nice it would be to have that! "

Then the next day, she hands it to me.. lol

You aren't kidding! "Hey baby, it would be awesome to bring your sister into the relationship!"

I have a D40x and just got a tripod for xmas. Love that thing!

Nice pics. I got a D40 a couple of months back and am still trying to figure out all the features. Great camera though.

Congrats on the D40. Nice B as well. Don't recall seeing that one before.

I recommend picking up the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. It will shed quite a bit of light on your camera settings and when to use them. You'll be off the Program mode in no time.
