New Nikon Day. It showed up yesterday. Unpacked it, put it together and went to try it. Figured I'd learn what all those buttons were for on the fly. Went to a local park and shot this,
It's about the sixth picture ever taken with this camera.
that's a nice pic. i would recommend getting a circular polarizer filter....it helps A LOT with water/shiny stuff shots. it also helps colors pop more

the polarizer also can help make a blue sky look deep sapphire. they're one of the best little add ons there is.

I used a polarizer for many of the shots in this thread: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/threads/balloon-fiesta-photos-here.72158/

our colors, this year, are pretty lame.
Took this with my mobile phone in Iceland. Had to keep the DSLR away because of the spray. Amazing what a couple of tweaks to the ISO can do to the quality of pictures. Quite keen to get more into photography, I take quite good pictures at my gigs but it's a completely different set up to shooting outside in light so is there any good websites I could check out for info and suggestions to get started?

You're asking about getting into landscape photography? I only bought my first DSLR three years ago so I'm not exactly the voice of experience. But my advice is to get a decent tripod and a cable release (or a remote if your camera supports it) and just get out there and start doing it. Always shoot in manual mode. Always use a tripod. Get your ass up out of bed super early. Always shoot in RAW. Scout for locations in advance. Learn your camera. And go out shooting regularly and frequently.
I meant more along the lines of for lens, ISO, exposure exposure etc... settings.
Just now all I really do is shoot gig shots which has the ISO set to 100 or 200 and shutter at 1/25 with a flash and I manage to take decent enough shots but doing it outside in high light conditions is a completely different ball game. I managed to get better photos using my phone in Iceland and doing a bit of dicking around with the ISO than with my camera...

iDia de los Muertos!
Dia de los Muertos is about gathering families and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Although this usually corresponds with the Catholic holiday All Saints' Day on November 1 and 2, Hollywood Forever held it the weekend before. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased, using sugar skulls and the favorite foods, beverages, and affects of the departed.
Historians trace the origins to indigenous observances 2500-3000 years ago ago as well as to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl.
