[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 399720, member: 12496"] I think you're doing great. The above statement was a thrill, it clearly shows the right attitude, and the best practice for learning anything. :) I only wanted to comment on the vignetting. No exif, but it seems out of place in this type of picture (into the sun, etc). I'm wondering if it could be the lens hood? The effect here has sort of sharp edges... Possibly a tulip petal hood (irregular shape) that was not fully rotated into proper place? If such a hood is being used, it should be fully rotated so the biggest petals are exactly top and bottom.. they sort of click into place. And next time this happens, you might try removing the hood once to check result without it. [/QUOTE]
