Phew, Good God this camera wasn't a money drain!!

Thankfully, where I work, there are quite a few DSLR photographers- and one of them was -really- helpful... explained everything about everything I needed to know(aperture, shutter speed, ISO and so on).

The problem was twofold:
1- I worked in complete manual, trying to adjust both shutter speed and aperture... and I am hardly skilled enough to do so, so I moved to "a" mode.

2- The built on flash is horrible... and I do my photoshoots in low light-indoors... I needed a better light source... and again, that guy pulled through and loaned me an add on SB-400... which is cheap and -amazing- to work with.

I finally got some results I am proud of!

The colors are accurate- forgive Solaris, she is in dark phase...

I am getting such a flash too!

So... people who plan on working at homes and can't provide really well lit environment... you really should get the flash.

I am -so- giddy!!!

I will be abusing this new camera more frequently now... yet I need to get a bit better, but heck, these are wonderful results as far as I am concerned.

Oren,
 
YAY!!! I knew you'd get it :)

It's SOOOO Helpful to have someone knowledgable that you can TALK to and can SHOW you... I'm the kind of person that really has to SEE and DO something to understand it and I still am clueless with hubby's SLR...
 
Those shots look awesome! They're saturated with color!

The best thing about your DSLR is you can take as many photos as you want.. even ones you don't think are any good, an it will help you get to a point where you start to like your results!
 
The snakes are saturated, the camera just -finally- lives up to it's price tag hehehehe....
Seriously though, it's a wonderful thing once you know your way around it.
