I went on Amazon.com to see if there was a book for my Nikon D40x.  Often there are books available with specific details about your camera - more than just the users manual.  So I wanted to see if there was anything for my new camera.  There were a few available.  Yay!

You know how on Amazon you can sometimes see excerpts from the books you are thinking about buying?  Well I love that feature.  Especially tonight.  The book I was looking at had an excerpt and can you guess what it was?  It was the exact problem I have been having; how to adjust the aperture.  Now, I know I could have found it in the manual, but it is kind of dry reading and in the limited amount of time I have had to read through it, I haven’t found my answer.  Ten seconds on Amazon and I found my answer.

I’m still very much an advocate of keeping, reading and familiarizing yourself with your manual but it doesn’t hurt to have extra help.  I will continue to take my manual to the gym.  I will read it.  However I am waiting patiently for this new book to come and take my manual reading experience to a whole new level.

So below is one of the first photos I have taken with my new camera.  Uly drew a picture of me and one of his daddy using stick people.  His Sunday school teacher taught him about stick figures.  I probably should have, but I guess it slipped my mind…
