OK, finally got a DSLR. Canon 450D. I love it, but have no idea how to use it yet. Anyone want to teach me? I've got an owner's manuel, over 200 pages.

I'm 51 years old, live in the Smoky Mountains of E. Tenn. I sell architectural frames, doors and hardware. In my former lives, I was a cabinetmaker and a locksmith. Grew up in Denver.
