But you do have a good eye James; to me it’s partly about getting out and just looking at things until you see the image in your head and trying to capture it, and it’s partly luck to be in the right place at the right time. Also, knowing how a scene can look differently with careful exposure settings is a good way of creating a good photograph.

I’m using a Nikon D40 but I think they are out of production now, I may have to go up on resolution at some point (it’s a 6MP and is a bit on the small side for some applications).

Never mind about the technical aspects, as it seems to me that some of the above (not-so-terrible-ones) are so freaking awesome it makes me want to give up even thinking of pointing another camera at anything ever again! I mean, your ‘unnamed craggy’ and those standing stones proves that I know absolutely nothing about picture taking… And I thought I had a good eye. *rolls-eyes* LOL

Btw, what camera are you using? Not that I’d be interested in knowing *cough, cough*, of course. 😀
