;-) Hi there! I think this is great advice...I got the best camera I could afford, and really look forward to learning to use it. I've snapped a few pix and compared to an old Minolta I have, it's a dream...I find all the conversations about noise, and ISO's etc...helpful and interesting as I've never had any classes or such for photography. I'm an old school person...artist wannabe etc...lol! Thanks for the note! S.

Hi there! I've jotted this down about low light. A great gem of info. Thank you so much, and I'm glad your pix came out nicely!! And congrats to your granddaughter too. A wonderful accomplishment. :) S.

Wow, great example! Yes...looks pretty bad. :) I will try not to do this! Thanks Jerry!! Susan

Thank you David! I love art and photography, so will try to relax. Just want to learn, and yes, enjoy what I can. :) Really nice to hear from you. S.

Hi Jerry! Thank you so much. I guessed and was close then...? Most interesting...now I have to learn the ISO stuff. You live where there is some breathtaking scenery! Wow. :) Susan PS...will check out the links later tonight! Thanks!

Hi B! Thank you! I'll have to play with my camera and learn it. I almost went with Nikon...I had to just guess which to go with. I researched for months and couldn't tell one from the other. Shows what I know. I hope to go on a short drive soon to use it and see what it can do. :) Good to hear from you! S.

A great idea Mr. PC! I got this camera to use to photograph my art so that will be good practice? I will also check out Lightroom. These new cams are just tiny computers...and I'm a real dummy with it all. Thanks so much!

Hi there! Thank you very much! I sure appreciate your help! :)

I finally got my new camera...and see a post talking about 'noise'...just wondering what this means? I will guess, maybe it's clutter in a photo? The post said 'putting Canon on notice', and I'm worried now as mine is a Canon EOS T5. Compared to my old Minolta it's sure fancy. We'll see...Anyway, someone let me know what camera noise is? Thanks! :?:

This is wonderful! My kind of photo. Nice work!!! :) Is this your horse? S.

Just hello, RIchard, and to let you know I'm getting your story almost there. I hope you're doing okay!!! My back is giving me real trouble. NO fun. Susan

Hi Bob! Thanks for the note, it's good to hear from you, and I really like your avatar! VERY original. Did you take a selfie with an x-ray cam? :) Susan

Of course, but we could rent/lease, the house and just space for two horses? SO need a safe place to live...but sure understand Erv. I do wish you all the best in whatever you do! :) And also, I'm sorry you've lost a loved one too. Our lives are so, so very short...

Hi Gary! Thank you! Your the only one to comment on these pix so far, and I appreciate your question too! No, those are fly masks made of a sort of soft vinyl screen that they can actually see thru. They keep flies and mosquitoes out of their eyes. Dirt too. Masks do look funny. Google 'horse products' and just go to any online store and you can see all kinds of masks that look like faces too. Hilarious. Poor horses don't care. They just like to eat grass. :) Thank you again for asking. And seeing my pix. I hope you're having some nice weather over your way! Today was our FIRST really warm day so far! I think we're in for a drought in the midwest this year. Not good. Susan

The spray can kill the good bugs too. Pets as well. Not safe.
