THE RULES HAVE CHANGED SO PLEASE READ THE RULESBEFORE YOU POST . . Thanks!
This group was established for those wanting to learn more about digital photography.
This group IS NOT simply another group for you to upload photos to.
Photo Albums not following the rules will be removed, ***no questions asked*** therefore please take the time to read the rules before you post.
If it is apparent that you are not asking for help or providing useful information about learning digital photography, your photos will be removed. Photo Albums with no activity after 30 days are subject to removal unless the information provided is useful to the theme of this group.
Photos should be posted for the purpose of asking for help or suggestions on issues you are having with specific shots or types of shots..
A comment MUST be added to "each" photo in the Edit Field stating the purpose for uploading the shot and asking any questions you might have. Some shots may include before/after situations. Add a comment stating "Example 1, Example 2 and be sure to include your questions or statements concerning the photos so the reason for posting the shot will be clearly understood.
This Group is for ALL Levels of digital photographers,
beginners, amateurs, serious amateurs, seimi-pros and professionals.
Here we can learn together, share tips, help others and make new friends with similar interests.
The Forum Page contains links to good sights about digital photography and related subjects. There is also information in the Forums on editing photos and discussion on photo editing software.
Pleased to have you join us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Learning your camera's controls and settings will save you much time on editing photos. The majority of people do not have time for this and is precisely why the point and shoot type cameras are so popular. You can set your camera to fully automatic which is the default setting when you open the package. There are other auto settings you can select for other common conditions that you can use but this is where good shots are separated from great shots. Learn the different settings, get comfortable with where they are and learn how to use them
There are links and further discussion about editing and cropping photos on the Forum Page

I love sunset pictures in the snow, this one is beautiful. I tried for some like that on the way home from Canada, but Arthur wouldn't stop the car and I have a huge motion blur combined with spots from the car window that made every one of them a mess.

Itzy (cat) striks again. He get's into my camera bag if I don't buckle it up immediately.
Motion blur.. Increase the shutter speed and allow more light.
Hmmmmm.. you just gave me an idea!

Lenses are expensive to replace or have repaired.
The warantees are always limited and if they suspect abuse or neglect, you are out of luck. I also use a hood at times, especially in bad weather or if I'm in the brush or woods.
Photos are not posted in the forums. Post your photos on the Photos Page. Click the "Photos" tab just above the "Welcome to Digital Shooters" introduction. Create an album for your self there and upload your photos to that album.
B/W I don't dabble in that area much. I need to master color photos first. You are way ahead of me in that area.
Ze Vasconcelos: Glad you like this idea. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Could not find anything quite like it so decided to "go for it". Got to start somewhere!
Dudley: Rules, Go right ahead. I learned these things through observing 365 Photos... what works and what doesn't! Lines have to be clearly drawn to maintain any reasonable order.
Thanks for your comments and photos everyone!
This is totally a joint venture of all the members.
Here's hoping we have great success!
