But you have made a good start in coming here. Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially the ones starting with 'how do I...?'

Hold up, are you saying I'm good at photography? Give it a couple of days and you'll change your mind. :mrgreen:
I've only been doing since February myself.
And is it just my, or does the spelling of February look wrong there even though it's not?

Well, yes, I was overexaggerating a bit. But what I was kind of trying to get at is that with photography, the image happens at the push of the shutter button, and after that it's basically tweaks in print exposure or development or such that really make the image a piece of art. It's kind of different from sharpening a pencil because that's only what you do when you're getting ready to make a drawing. Sharpening the pencil would be more akin to focusing the lens and setting the aperture/shutter speed. What is different with photography is that the image happens at one point in time. But when you're making a drawing, the image is created over time by the artist. He/she can't draw every point in the picture like a camera exposes all parts of the film at once. Maybe I'm a little incoherent in my ideas, but I think there's something really unique about photography that you don't find in other major art forms.
