Hi Ira: I lurked for a while as well and just came out last mid-December. You'll learn things on this list to be sure!! My 1st PESO had Vertical issues as well--leaning trees & all that--follow Paul's advice about rotating the image--but be on the look out for Frank's opinion about verticals: he's not as loyal to the perpindicular rule as others--heck, you may come to agree with him. Frank, does tilt very well! > > > It's funny though, although I am enjoying photography, I'm rarely happy > with the pictures I take. 1) The more pictures you take, the more you'll improve, the more likely you'll be happy with your photos. This rule has not changed. 2) For composition: follow the rule of thirds 3) Fill up the view finder with interesting subject material; start with photographing the people, places, & events you care about. 4) Learn everything you can about light & shadow. Apprentice writer's who aren't interested in words have a real problem, right, because words are the writer's medium. Apprentice photographers who aren't interested in light & shadow have a real problem, right, because light & shadow are a photographer's medium. Great light makes great photos. 5) Learn your camera, read your manual, then read your manual again. Learn to use your camera as a tool to capture an interesting photograph. All of this takes time, so allow yourself to be a beginner, to learn. >I do like this picture of my dog, though. You have a very handsome dog, truely. Now go take more photos that radiate your dog's handsomeness. And I send you a big welcome to the list. When I came out, everyone was so welcoming. It feels great to be able to return the favor to a new poster.
