Thank you guys so much. I wasn't going to say anything until I knew for sure I was accepted but I will anyway. It is killing me not telling anyone.

Hubby bought me the camera cause I am intending to go to the Italian Institute of Photography in Milan next October. I need to put together a portfolio and he wanted me to get to know my camera well before the time came for me to go. I have a year to learn the ins and outs of my camera before going to Milan to study. In the meantime you guys will probably be getting new photos on a weekly or bi-weekly basis so I can get some input and opinions and critisms. Hope you all don't mind.

Thank you all again.
