Hello My name is Jordan, I just bought my first DLSR camera today, a Nikon d3000. Yes it is a bit out dated but i got a great deal on it. It came with a 18-55 lens and a 55-200 lens. I bought the camera to finally persue my love of taking pictures and to document the story of my family. I am expecting my first child in the fall and want to make sure that I get enough practice for the event. I hope to find new friends and teachers here!!

Welcome to the forum. Welcome to finally realizing photography and most of all welcome to being a parent. You are in for quite a ride.
That camera that you have might be a little dated but in it's time it was an excellent choice. I think you made a very good choice.
again welcome

Welcome to the forum and welcome to the best nightmare a couple can share, raising children. I remember when I had hair; three daughters later... wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Welcome. Learn to see your camera settings on your computer. This way your can change settings and see different results. I use Photoshop Elements for post process. PP is as much fun as taking pictures. Post some here and ask for advice and you will get great tips. David

In 1975, I got seriously into photography when our first child was on the way. Many of those shots were not high quality, because of my inexperience. However, I kept many of them. Now, with the technology of Photoshop and other programs such as Paint Shop Pro, I can resurrect those poor shots by cropping, color correction, exposure changes, etc. That opened a world of high-quality shots with great memories. My advice to you is to keep many of the early shots you take, even if you do not consider them high quality. Welcome to a rewarding hobby.
