Hi Steve,

I just discovered your site via DPS and am so glad I did. I’ve already enjoyed about an hour of reading and learning little extra tips. I love and do landscape photography as well as nature and wildlife. Thank you so much for your generous contribution to help, I am sure, many photographers

Hi Steve

As you were are fully aware by now, I am a green D-SLR beginner. And to compound the problem my photos will be for a book I am writing. I am now re-shooting the landscapes, monuments, cemeteries, bridges, churches, etc., previously taken with compact, with my Nikon SLR. Whilst I find your tips and advice INVALUABLE, how about some guidelines on photography specifically for publication in books, please?
Thanks
Tiberman – Mauritius

Hi folks – I follow you all from a little hazy-crazy island here – Mauritius. I feel well placed to comment on one aspect of this site. You see, my first language is not English; I learnt it the hard way; grammar, sentence structures and all. This site is good because the language is SIMPLE. It is expressive and conveys the message effectively. And believe me folks, simplicity is difficult to attain. I know, because I am writing a book……in English. I’ll plunge into a few comments on my life as a DSLR beginner next time.

Hi Steve,
Love the site. Can you answer a question for me? If I shoot in RAW, can I still view in JPEG without destroying image quality? The reason I ask is I am currently deployed. I have my Canon 5D Mii which I can shoot in RAW but I have very limited access to a PC, much less Photoshop. I have a small Netbook but it won’t withstand a large program. I won’t be home on my real pc for a few more months. Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve, I just found your link on DPS and signed up for your updates. I am an amateur (baby boomer) photographer who loves outdoor photography. Your website (and insight) is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank your for taking the time to share your passion.

@Michel – You’re welcome! I’m having a lot of fun with this site, and I’m so glad people are finding the articles helpful! That was one of my goals–to make the articles concise and “to the point”, I know it’s hard to read long articles on a computer screen, so I try to make the articles here as short as possible and cover one topic at a time.

Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback!

Just wanted to thank you for producing this site. The “tips” are extremely informative and concise; just the right amount of information. I have learned more and confirmed more about photography from your site than I have from books and years of learning on my own. I have also easily been able to apply the knowledge with greater “focus” on my efforts. Everything works and makes such good sense. Keep producing great things!

@Francoism – don’t give up! the best way to learn is to just keep taking photos and learn from your mistakes. With digital, it’s so easy to take lots of photos now and get instant feedback. Just be persistent!

I was so let down by my pictures of Glacier National Park. I had researched locations and ensured decent foreground but I got lazy and shot mid-day! All my pictures are boring and I just about gave up on photography.
