I feel like I'd died and gone to heaven in this photo! Did you have to use a circular polarizer (whatever that is as I don't have one) for this picture, Sam? Did you tweak it with Photoshop or something? I only use Picasa, the freebie software. What do you recommend? #308846

What?!? You don't edit your photos? You're amazing! Even with editing, my photos don't come out half as good as yours. I have a lot to learn from you. #1829567

hello again choo,
again you humble me by your comments.i have learned so much here over the years.i am so flattered by your comments,i don't know where to lead you.i trust my camera so much,when I think it's important,i trust my xtsi.for what i'm getting,i will never go digital.great camera!
light is the key choo.you have to look out and see the light!
I question my composition sometimes?but let it go.
why would I want to change my pics?i got it wrong,then I got it wrong!
doesn't matter what camera you have,but really can you use your camera?

What you say is true. It doesn't matter what camera you have but how you use it. Some people I know take the most amazing photos with the cheapest cameras. Here I have a fairly expensive camera (by my standards but I suppose it's considered cheap by pros!) and I'm struggling with it. I'm learning a lot, though, from you and the others on this forum.

Thanks, Sam. #1832064

I like this one too Sam. Few sunsets you see vertical. This one worked out well!

Still like your "field of dreams" of your grandson. One of my favorites. Showed it to another photo associate of mine the other day and he too agreed it is very good.
