Hi All,

I am completely new to photography. I bout a little Canon Powershot, and I have the bug, but have no idea what I am doing...lol. Right now I am just experimenting and taking lots of pictures.
I really need all the advice I can get.

Here is one I took that I thought was interesting. My focus was the fence,,,,,

I think focusing on the dog would have been better idea.
Buy some books and shoot, shoot, and shoot.
Thank's my advice.Hope it helps.

Glad that you are here ... jump right in and ask questions. Oh and beware of that "bug" that you have ... It can get expensive! :P
