Thank you Savannah is a very charming city. Oh and Paula Deans restaurant is there what fun that was to visit..  She is the southern cook that uses Tons of butter on everything so as you can imagine the food is very good.

 This was taken with a disposable camera by the way, I had forgotten my camera at home        :(     

Very well deserved, and a you have a beautiful gallery.  Congratulations.

Hi,
These are some sites I have used with my Nikon. They may be of interest to you.
I purchased my camera at Wolfe/ Ritz camera and they include weekly classes free of charge, and they have been a lot of fun and very helpful they have two different instructors, and usually a class of between 5 to 20 each week its been a fun experience for me to learn with the others in the class.

Have fun, I would be curious to see what you think of your camera, I have a friend that is thinking of buying the same camera, have fun with it..      Nikon also offers some weekend workshops I am signing up for one in North Carolina in April and perhaps on later in Houston. Their schedule is included in the site I've included here. Good luck to you.   And I love my camera, I have the D5000 I use the kit lens a lot I have had great results with it , I also purchased a Tamron    http://www.tamron.com/lenses/prod/18270_vc.asp  lens and so far I am very happy with it as well. And don't forget to buy some filters for your lens. Both UV and a Polarizer.  They will make all the difference.
