Finally got my DSLR body (yesterday) and lenses (today) - here's a few nice shots from a 40th birthday lunch today (no PP, just converted to JPG then reduced to 80% quality for quick web publishing):

Learning how to use the new gear
You see Keith?
Anyone can use a Canon, but it takes skill to use a Nikon. 
Seriously, Leigh, those are great shots, and it shows that you already have a level of proficiency from which you will leap, and you'll soon be producing images that will be impressing even the most hard-nosed amongst us. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can pull out of the camera once you start to become comfortable with the featureset. g.
Gary Stark Nikon, Canon, Bronica .... stuff The people who want English to be the official language of the United States are uncomfortable with their leaders being fluent in it - US Pres. Bartlet
Leigh - looks like the learning is over on the first afternoon: great colours and sharpness, now to the serious stuff of shooting at the Clipsal 500.

Thanks all for the feedback - I was tickled pink to get such a good result on my first day out
I picked it up last night at 5pm and the lenses on the way to the birthday party. I have been an on-and-off again hobbyist for a long time though, but not with a dslr - previous cameras were a Canon EOS 500N (took ~40 rolls in NZ in ~1996) and a PowerShot S45 (took ~12k pics in Eu during a holiday in 2003). I understand the basics - enough to be dangerous! More pics going up shortly from a second (big) 40th party this evening, where I acted like a paparazzi for most of the evening
Amazing how people will play up to a "real" camera, as opposed to a P&S! Cheers Leigh
