[QUOTE="jstimagine, post: 374527, member: 33904"] Tracey JJ and Horoscope Fish.. THANKyou, you hit the nail right on the head. I do understand that I SHOULD be learning raw etc., but truthfully I know NOTHING, except that I love my camera... it's the first I've owned that wasn't just a "point and shoot".. and even though I'm still using it as a "point and shoot" I'm so encouraged by how much better quality my photos are than what I was able to take before. i KNOW that it's not due to any skill on my part as it's the camera doing the work, but I'm hoping to learn as i go, with the help of those who DO understand the technilogical aspects of photography. For now, just learning proper terminology is a big step as at this point, much of what I'm reading is greek to me. ;0) It's true that I'm shooting photos without having any knowledge of composition, lighting, and all the gazilliion other things I need to know, BUT I'm having fun. I think that always HAS to be the first step and hope the rest will come a bit at at time.
