Hi Everyone!
Im really liking this site. I know this is going to sound silly but I do not like SLR cameras. Maybe Im not experienced enough. However, I have a bridge camera that is between a Point and Shoot and SLR. I love it, and it has a manual zoom that I love. Does an SLR really take much better shots or is it all in the editing?

I just want to thank you for your post on being a more confident photographer. It really meant a lot. I tend to be overly critical and self defeated at times. Thank you so much for sharing. Kathy

ADVICE: BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK, AS YOU ARE OF YOUR CHILD (neither are a one person’s work alone, hehe….)

It’s really good to have all this help. When I first started, it all seemed to me as in Chinese – I didn’t understand a word… and all those acronyms!! But we won’t give up, once we get started. No waste of the used time
And it’s amazing how much of one’s personality gets reflected on our photographs… it surely represents (in a way) our outlook on life, yeah? When I see other people’s work… I can love it, admire it, respect it, wonder about it… but my own work is to me like my own child – there just isn’t anyone more beautiful (it’s a subjective remark, with modesty). I am inside my work, and I recognize myself there – just as you recognize yourself in your child.
All of you, keep up your excellent work!!

One tip that I learned is to not zoom in too much. You may be going over your pictures later and notice something you hadn’t earlier, and want to crop that. If you’re using a digital camera, you can always zoom/crop LATER. Try and capture everything, you never know what ideas you may come up with later for that crazy shot you took!

Great tips! This helps me a lot because I am doing a 365 day project. I really need to be creative for this.
