I've been visiting the gallery, observing the dialog, picking up all kinds of useful information since the first of Dec. I must thank all of you for sharing your knowledge and humor - I enjoy reading your posts.
My background is in fine art, using photography as a tool for to gather references. I don't know whether I will ever progress much beyond being a relative neophyte, but would like to improve my skills. I'm trying to make sense of the manual for my Pentax K- 7 and eagerly await the delivery of "Understanding Exposure."
As I learn to use this site, I'll take a stab at posting photos.

Welcome. Looking forward to your postings. What exactly is "Fine Art?" and is there "Unfine Art?"

Welcome to the forum. To understand exposure - read up on it and take a gazillion pictures while you vary different settings and see how they affect the pictures. Easy as pie :) (kidding of course - it's a lot of work!)

Good question. My understanding is that fine art refers to painting, drawing, print making, ceramics, etc. to distinguish it from creative arts like music and theatre. I'm the painter of that description and at times can be pretty "unfine." LOL

Thanks. I've learned a lot already. We'll see whether I actually get better. Lots of learning curves ahead.

I definitely need to read more, especially the manual. I've taken a gazillion pictures - in auto Ugh! Need to experiment with other settings.

Welcome, I hope you enjoy the site.
I've been enjoying the site since December and feel like I know everyone already, but didn't introduce myself until now. Guess I'm as shy on line as in person.

Welcome to the hog.
Thanks. Love your cow. I've been looking for some back lit cows to photo. There are plenty around - Holsteins and Angus - but it's hard to take pics from the middle of busy roads.
