Once you know all this stuff and you still want to know more you sure want to play with these things too! When I was looking up the links I came acros the following statement: I stopped taking photos... I began creating them! So let's start creating photographs! Hope this helps Martin --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

I think that even if you have the most high quality camera but you have no idea about good composition the result isn't a quality photo. On the other side, if you create a good composition but don't use, or don't know, some technical tips about your own camera the result isn't what you expect. You don't have to became crazy about every single detail, but you have to find the right compromise between these two aspects. This is a link for a glossary about camera spec: http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/glossary it's not too technical and it is a simple starting point. It is useful also when you have to compare different cameras from their specs. Hope this helps...

What I have noticed so far, is that I take about 10 shot of one thing just to get a pictures I'm happy with and willing to share. So maybe I am learning.
