Indeed you'll get some pictures on there too. I think the first BIG lesson I learned with the SLR is "backgrounds, backgrounds, backgrounds" (not to sound like Ballmer or anything :P). Backgrounds have to do with: a. framing (jen taught me about this), b. pleasant and not distracting from the subject (changing the angle of the shot to... remove an electric pole from the shot, or taking shots from the ground to have sky as the background kinda stuff), c. "cropping" out backgrounds (taking 'tight' photos of a subject as to remove the background from the picture), d. blurring the background (taking it out of focus to bring attention to the subject; DoF), e. "removing" the background with flash DoF. And I learned all that stuff in that order. Note, this does not apply to landscapes. Basically the lesson here was not letting a background take away from a picture. This one idea has taken me from P&S (a and b) to DSLR (c, d, and soon, e) to that "hobbyist" level. And that's not even to say I'm great at it... your hunny's a lot better at finding good things to shoot and how to shoot them than I am. But if there's ONE tip I'll pass on to future DSLR users around the world, it's learn how to make a background work for your picture, not against it. Awesome post by the way, and I look forward to seeing your stunning photos :D. Ooo… fancy fancy with the photo bloggy thing :) . Indeed you’ll get some pictures on there too.
