Thanks for your comments everyone, they have made a pleasant welcome here.
I got my DSLR just over a year ago. It was a present to myself purchased with the money that I'd saved after a few months of giving up smoking.
Whether the pictures turn out the way I expect or not depends a bit on the subject. Generally nature shots do, but I like to do some experimental things too that have to be set up, thought about and experimented with - like this:
The good thing about digital photography is that it doesn't matter if you waste shots. I have been known to take over a 1000 shots at an airshow or motor racing event, and might end up with half a dozen usable shots - that stuff really is by chance for me at the moment; but I hope to improve next year with more practice.
