improve my digital photography skills

from Richard T. that you need to zoom in when possible on human shots, and use the more wide angle stuff for nature.
My new avatar was taken by Richard.

b/c somebody actually “favorited” one of the pictures I shot on flickr.
And it wasn’t just somebody who thought my wife is cute; this was a “non-Yvonne” pic.
Turns out dude has four total pictures in his photostream and they’re all coffins.
Hmm,,,not very uplifting..:(

Today I found out how to switch between normal, macro, and infinity modes.
I learned that macro and flash typically dont mix very well.
My avatar changed after I was so pleased with my macro shot. I plan on this reminding me to track my finances.

Seeing how Reesie, Chris Campbell and other flickr afficiandoes are constantly bettering their craft, I thought I’d through my hat into the ring.
First off, though I upload everything to flickr, I’m starting to put to “private” those pictures which basically suck and/or blow.
Second, my wife has just provided me with the operator’s manual to our digital camera.
I suppose I need to read it.
