I've had my Nikon D40 for over a year now. It's a good camera for someone like me who doesn't know anything about photography, but I've decided to try to take it to the next level. Step one: learn how to use a tripod and a remote control.
Now, you need to figure out how to set the timer when doing self portraits to keep the remote out of the shot :)
I find tripods really open up opportunities, especially in low light conditions. You can expect to spend around $300 on a good tripod & head. Resist the temptation to put a good camera on a cheap tripod! I run 3 different Bogen/Manfrotto rigs, and would not buy any other brand.

Dan Allen lives in Philadelphia's Blue Bell Hill neighborhood. He eats a lot of cheese, drinks a lot of beer, and thinks that you should too. He also loves to write and talk about these and other things pertaining to good food and drink. As much as possible, he follows a locavore life style, meaning that most of what he eats, drinks, and writes about is local to Philadelphia and environs. (By the way, he tends to go on and on about all this, so unless you have a lot of time on your hands, it's best that you not get him started.)

Tripods are a pain, but a necessity......it is imperative to have one if shooting a waterfall!
I still don't have a tripod, but I need one. You look pretty serious about it!
