I want to thank each of you for the tips you offered in response to my post,
"Single best tip for better pictures."  The vast majority of the tips
revolved around the thought that the more you shoot the better you get.
Shoot with a passion and edit without mercy.

The second set of comments had to do with the pace we shoot our pictures.
Shoot quickly and capture the moment versus shoot deliberately and make the
most of every exposure.  After reading the posts it became evident that we
need to match our shooting pace to the demands of the subject.  Shoot fast
for rapidly changing scenes and very deliberately for still life scenes etc.

The underlying truth is that much thought is required for every shot.
Visualize the image before you make the picture.  This is true whether
shooting Nascar races at 200 mph or roses in a vase. Set your standards high
and make your work habits comply with your standards.

I am in the process of summarizing the tips and will post the tips to the
list when I have completed the summary.  Thanks again for all of your
insights.
