This is my first post at this forum. I recently became fed up with my camera and took a trip to the camera shop. I was directed to the Nikon D40X and made the purchase. I am looking through some of the photos at here and I am absolutely amazed.

I have some extremely broad sweeping questions. I understand that the answers to these questions could be very expansive, so just being pointed in the right direction to get started would be great.

I will be taking a lot of macro photos and this is my initial interest.

Where is a good place to go to study up on equipment, settings, technique, etc.

If you are familiar with the camera I recently purchased, any start up tips would be great.

Any general information or info on essential equipment would be great.

Again, I am looking for a starting point. I understand that experience will bring the best results.

Thanks for any help.

Steve Ihrig
