Understood. I've taken over a thousand photos so far with the camera. 99.999999....% are crap and the rest are not quite crap. LOL But I've learned a few things. One thing I've learned is my inability to remember to change ISO and white balance. When the camera is in my hands aperture and shutter speed is all I seem to think about. White balance I've read isn't a big thing when shooting raw, but I've not been able to take one photo shot on "incandecent" and one on "cloudy," with the same settings otherwise, look the same in Bibble. I should probably make a mental checklist to go over before every shot. <snip> > PESO: Picture Every So Often, a solitary picture that you'd like to share > for fun or get critique on. > GESO: Gallery Every So Often: a collection of pictures, say from 6 - 12, > but not everyone holds to that limit, myself included :-) > > PAW: Picture A Week: a photographer creates a collection of 52 > pictures--one for each week of the year.

My wife lived in Chicago for few years, before moving here. She really liked Chicago. My few visits have been pleasant as well.
