[QUOTE="WeeHector, post: 795211, member: 14301"] Photography is in many ways a matter of luck. You happen to be on the right spot at the right moment and snap! you have the photo of a lifetime which can earn you a fortune. The vast majority of us will never know this pleasure and have to make do with lesser efforts. Most make do with a point-and-shoot camera and are quite happy with the statement "I was there and I have a photo to prove it" but for those of us who are here, I assume, we are attempting to turn our photos into an art-form. There are many who dedicate their time to buildings and other structures or natural features, knowing that, one day, the lighting conditions will be perfect and they will have the photo they have always desired. Those who dedicate themselves to nature photography know all the pitfalls. Auto-settings on your DSLR won't help you out in every eventuality and this is why you need to know how your camera works. I've been incredibly lucky in the 7 weeks I have had my D3100 and have taken photos I would never have imagined possible but now the hard part begins. It is difficult enough to learn your trade when your first photos are terrible and you need to get better. It is much worse when your early photos are good and you struggle to keep up the standard. I won't let this get me down. Besides we have a great friend in our camera, which allows us to take endless numbers of photos, something which would have been unthinkable in the days of film. We are living in exciting times; what a shame we didn't have these wonders 50 years ago. [/QUOTE]
