However, Rick has to turn upside down, sideways and whatever else position he can get into....even then sometimes my just snapping away gets the best pictures (which really gets him upset). Enjoy your new camera and share some of the results with us along the way. I’ve found that I get better pictures by just finding what I want and snap away.

A great camera and a ton of photography classes can certainly help one take better pictures, but the most advanced camera in the world and 1,000 classes on how to use it won't turn a Rick Rouse into an Ansel Adams or a Winston Rockwell. There is an element to great photography that simply cannont be bought or learned - you either have it or you don't. But.... That does't mean that we ALL can't have fun taking pictures and sharing them with others. Every picture doesn't have to be a work of art to be enjoyable or interesting to look at. Some of the most beautiful pictires I have ever seen were absolutely horrible from a technical standpoint. If photography was only available to the "pro's", I would certainly be out of luck. But luckily for me, you, and millions of others, it isn't. You’re right Shelia.
