All My Hobbies Cost Money

I recently decided that if I am going to have a nice digital camera, wouldn't it be nice to really know how to use it. I began last fall taking a basic photography seminar. I followed that up by one on using natural light. After thousands of pictures I believe that I am finally beginning to understand how to take a good picture. taking that good picture is another story. Now in my bad pictures, I know what I did wrong. I have been able to get some nice shots. At least in my eyes. They will probably never make it in a magazine or anything like that, but that's OK. I take these pictures for me. It just so happens that either by skill or most likely luck I have taken some shots I really like. The biggest problem I have with getting better photography is that I am no longer content with my $700 camera. Anyone want to give me $1500? I'll take your pictures for free. No guarantee. Any way here's some pictures from the natural light seminar.
