Means a lot to me. Took a long time for me to get halfway decent at photography. I don't consider myself good at it.
Just a little better than I used to be. Learning about what makes a camera work, having it set up with the right settings and learning to use it under different lighting
helped a lot. But, getting a decent photo was something completely different. For what I do, subjects don't just sit there and let you put them under a microscope.
They always move, they are always on backgrounds that suck, always in thick un-useable clutter. When you think you have a good setting for a macro shot,,,,,,the wind is blowing.
Birds are even worse. Never where you want them to be. Landscapes? I don't have landscapes in Louisiana. This is by far and away the ugliest state for landscapes. It's very infrequent for me to landscape. I envy lots of you guys who live in places with beautiful landscapes. Anyway there's my ranting babble for the day. Thank you again.

Thank you, sir Todd.
