My first Digital SLR

So about two months ago, I aquired my first digital SLR, a Nikon 40. My first SLR ever, actually. Since then I have been trying to learn about photography and how to go about taking great pictures to use in my big hobby, digital scrapbooking.

I don't have extra lighting, I don't have any special flash, I don't even have any other lenses yet, but already my photography is improving. The reason is that I don't have as much lag time as I did with my point and shoot. Now I can capture the photos of my kids just a bit better. I hope once I learn more about the process that I can capture great photos.
