While this photo may not be a good photo to you, it may be a good photo to me. Sure there isn't ALOT of detail, but it is a storm comin in at night, while it may not be a GREAT capture, it still is good enough to have caught a moment in time of one of the first storms coming in at the new place I live.
I use the breathing technique myself, however with winds of 40 mph blowing across the lake to me, it was still hard to keep steady. This wasn't on a boat or anything, it was on ground, I just needed tripod to have helped keep steady in this situation.

Not every photo you take will be an award winner., but if you keep practicing when you get your pro camera you will be that much a head of the curve. Just for instance I was working with my new lens at an Easter gathering yesterday... most of the pictures I took were not good at all LOL. But I had to remember that I am still practicing with it and next time I am that zoomed in I need to have a mono pod. Keep shooting and as long as you enjoy what you do you will "enjoy" making mistakes too !

,Even a small tripod would be a big help. A "Gorilla pod" type that you can pick up for about $20 can make a world of difference, especially on a lightweight camera. I use tripods, monopods and the "Gorilla-type" is various situations. Took me a while to learn these lessons but it's finally sinking in.photobod wrote:
