You can check what settings you used by looking at your photo properties on your PC - you'll start seeing what settings did what. Again - thanks for the positive comments.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-11183525508411752682010-03-13T00:43:46.934-05:002010-03-13T00:43:46.934-05:00Thanks for the advice Rick, I do take it off auto ...Thanks for the advice Rick, I do take it off auto and play... only problem is I don't have a clue or not much of one yet but I'm learning.

I hear you re: figuring out the camera. I did read the manual (I have a Canon XS) and I checked out a lot of photography websites. However - there's no better teacher than going out and taking LOTS of photos and trying various settings (I think I took around 10,000 photos last year). Take it off AUTO and experiment with manual settings.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-70653770189443436392010-03-03T23:55:06.772-05:002010-03-03T23:55:06.772-05:00I like this one a lot.

I've always been fascinated by grave yards and the long shadows on the snow is great, and of course I could say the same things about your skies and the B & W treatment as you said about mine.

It saddens me to think that grave sites are forgotten about. May they all rest in peace. <br /><br />How long did it take you to figure your camera out? I recently purchased the Rebel XSi and just don't have the time to do much with it yet. I have the books but no time to read them unfortunately. One thing at a time.darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-16397655507978383712010-03-03T20:35:32.232-05:002010-03-03T20:35:32.232-05:00Thanks Avery.
