The foreground bushes here really block the shot severely. Being in St John, you should have lots of places to practice. I've enjoyed my two visits there.

Plans are to take a photography course and learn everything I can about set up,lighting and camera settings. i'll keep practicing and post up some pictures when I get the chance

Nov 13, 2009 12:42 | #6 Welcome to POTN. You are going to learn a lot here. Keep shooting and posting and you will move ahead in your hobby. Hang on to your wallet though, because you are going to be tempted to give up all your hard earned cash on more glass as you look at all the great images here. Chris
