Greetings, from MA

[techniker]

Forums/communities are a great resource. I would like to learn more about exposure and composition, as well as hardware; aspect ratio, the different setting on my camera (I know only the very basic functions despite reading much of the owner's manual), etc. I have spent considerable time browsing the galleries and it's so nice to see other amateur and professional artists work which give me much perspective.

Thank you and good day,

Techiker
