New camera - Nikon D3100 - first photograph

A "quick & dirty", as the camera arrived today and I didn't get home until nearly dark so have spent an hour or so browsing the manual (PDF) and becoming familiar with the functions and information display (rear screen).

After inserting an SD card (SDHC 16Gb, which holds about 3000 images in "Fine, Large" JPG format or about half that in RAW format) I placed it in Auto mode, made sure the flash was off, aimed it at the far wall of the living room and pressed the shutter button.

Below is the result......no editing and the only light that of the lamp on the shelf unit. Click for larger size.

Tomorrow I'll try it out properly but so far, so very good. :)
