I had to laugh!! I've always wanted to be a good photographer, but have never achieved that goal... To be honest, I've become a much better photographer since I've had my digital camera. And the reason is simple. In the "old days", a serious student of photography had to document the "f-stop", the "aperture", the film speed, etc.,etc., for every frame they shot, and only after the film was developed could they see the result of their instinctive efforts. It must have been incredibly hard to learn how to adjust each of those factors with such a long delay between "choice" and "result". With digital, I can shoot, if it's not right, then delete and reshoot. Of course, it's still hard to get that "once in a lifetime" shot of something illusive, but with digital I find myself snapping more and more shots, knowing I can clear the bad ones off of the disk and keep going later. I just hope that the processing and storage technology can catch up pretty quickly. I hate to think of all the "gems" I have saved on disk deteriorating in the next few years. I'm told the only way around that is to copy the disks on a routine basis (every three or four years?) before they have a chance to degrade. Have I done it? nope.
