You have a beautiful family John! And... a good start to a new hobby! The great thing about digital photography is that you get to experiment without worrying about film. Play around with your shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, lighting and camera angles to get variations on your shots. You have a great camera to start with and a broad focal range coverage with your lenses. Take lots of pictures and get a feel for what you like and what looks good to your eyes. Have fun with your new hobby... and remember, the world can always use better pictures!

thanks for the advice! i love using the DOF in my pix, just give it such a great lookin' pic! but at times, seems as if i can't turn the the f/ down lower than 5.5. i'm assuming the there's not enough lighting. i'm still using the semi-auto modes.
great fotos
