Never do yourself down 2. Never let OTHERS do you down 3. LEARN your gear inside and out, use it until it becomes second nature 4. Don't keep upgrading for upgrades sake when most people can't even use what they have 5. Take LOTS and LOTS of photographs, not just one of a subject, alter the speed/ap and see the difference 6. Learn one subject and do it well 7. Take your camera off P or A and put t on M 8. I shoot sports on SINGLE shot, it is a camera NOT a machine gun, learn to anticipate Finally learn THIS, one of THE most important things in photography no matter WHAT you shoot, DOF makes a photograph from limiting the subject to just the important part to a landscape where all or just a part is in focus [URL="http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/depth-of-field.htm"]Understanding Depth of Field in Photography[/URL] [/QUOTE]
