Default I Have A New Camera

I have never had much interest in photography so my only experience was a Kodak Instamatic or a disposable. Seeing all of these wonderful pictures on this site, I got the urge for a camera. I bought a Nikon D40. It took a while to learn all of the buttons etc. but I finally got it to working. I need a lot more education but here are a couple of my first pictures.

1. Lc Purple Cascade 'Sweet Beauty' (C. interglossa x Tokyo Magic)
2. Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' (Neofinetia falcata x Vasco. Thom Yuen Hae)
3. Vanda sanderiana alba x Neofinetia falcata
4. Dendrobium Stephen Batchelor

I think these are really OK. If you want some detailed instruction, send me a PM. I know the camera and can help with the next level. If the images are exactly what you had hoped for then ignore my comment.

Thanks Ross for your offer of help. I could use some for sure. After I have used the camera a bit more I will send you a private message.

Des, I wanted a camera for use on this forum and I had no idea what to get because I have never been a big advocate of pictures. I know that when you talk about your orchids on this site everyone wants to see what you are talking about. The camera that I purchased was one recommended by one of the members who I think, is a pro and so far has proved to be a good selection. Once I learn all of the intricate details on use, I will probably like it a lot.
