Thank you everybody for the insightful comments. I do realize now for certain that I am just getting to know the techniques of DSLR photography, that I have a great camera to work with, and that it is just going to take time and a lot of effort to maximize my potential.
I
really appreciate the instructions for photos. I did change the permissions... that
was the problem. But, with the new uploading info maybe I can get them to be the right size, too!!!
As for the pet peeve, this
is a beginner's forum so naturally I am here to learn. No offense taken.
I have incorporated some of the things I have learned in this thread, and will be posting some new and improved photos soon!
