I leave alot of the technical stuff to the technical advisors here, I know people will be better educated by you & many others here. Maybe someday, I will be able to help a newbie when it comes to that sort of thing! [:O]

I remember being told my bird shot wasn't good enough to be in a "Post your best bird" thread shortly after picking up a dslr camera for the first time and new to this site.I removed the photo & apologized even though at the time, it was one of my best![:P] I also got racked over the coals a few times in show & tell.I almost put the camera away for goodanumber oftimesbut I'm sure glad I didn't! Many others here helped metremendously and encouraged me to keep at it. I do feel encouragement helps a great deal more than negative feedback for those in the very beginning stages.
