Welcome. Aside from equipment advice you'll be able to post pictures and get criticism. Lots of criticism. In your best interest of course.
And PUNS, lots of PUNS, you forgot to mention PUNS

I'm from the Midwest. I bought my first DSLR about two weeks ago, a K-x with the 18-55mm, 55-300mm lens kit. I've got a 50mm M f/1.7 on the way, as well as a polarizer and graduated filter. I also picked up a cleaning kit with rocket blower and a manfrotto tripod and head. No one told me the peripherals were going to cost so damn much. I feel like I'm hemorrhaging money. LOL It's sad but true. I know next to nothing about photography. I've read "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson and "The Digital Photography Book" by Scott Kelby; both have been a good introduction I think. I'm currently reading "Creative Nature & Outdoor Photography" by Brenda Tharp. Next on the list is "The Photographer's Eye" by Michael Freeman. If anyone has suggestions as to which other books I should be reading, I'm all ears. I've never used any image manipulation type software other than Picassa. I'm a Linux user and have evaluated Bibble 5 for a couple evenings. It's crashed on me a few times and sucks all available memory and some swap when it imports RAW and builds thumbnails. I might have to break down and get a MAC at some point, if all Linux image software is this crash prone. Bibble does have some cool tricks though. I really like the heal/clone thing but I suppose other software packages have something similar. OK, I do have a question: Is there a page defining the acronyms used here, like: PESO, GESO, PAW? If not, could someone enlighten me? Thanks, Kent
