Went to downtown franklin this weekend to take some night pictures.
one thing is for sure, when in tn, i dont think i will live in any other city than franklin. i love this place. too bad the rest of the state sucks.
edit: the resize killed the pics. look great on the originals, but for some reason photobucket makes them look like shit.

Resize them in a program like Photoshop, LightRoom, Aperture, iPhoto, Paintshop Pro, etc. It will look a lot better, because of the blending algorithms.
photobucket always does a number on my shots
damn nice pics y'all!!! 
do your research first.
the d40 and d40x limit which lenses you can use.

The shutter on my D40x broke after about 10k shots, as well. Apparently it's rather common, but a crapshoot. Many cameras will go 100k or more, some will break early. Other than that, it was a fantastic camera. You do get limited to lenses that have their own autofocus motor; the D40x doesn't have one built in. Not much of an issue unless you're using really old or really expensive lenses.
Went downtown yesterday, Sears Tower Skydeck, Boat ride at Navy Pier, bunch of other stuff. Took a bajillion photos... Will add more as I process them:
1: Skyline from the Sears Tower observation deck... The windows facing the lake were filthy.
2: One of the Picassos (can't remember which one!)
3: My brother on one of the new observation ledges. No one could get a shot from the other ledges like that at that time of day, it was pure reflection. Luckily I had a polarizing filter with me.
4: Had to get a shot of this little guy
5: Took that one on a moving boat at night... Came out well given the circumstances. Haven't done it yet, but Noise Ninja should take care of the grain in the sky.
I'm not scared of heights, but those ledges scared me.
