Every time I think I have taken a georgous picture. I look at this website and feel like such an amature Iam embarrassed to post any of my pictures however being a newbie Iam dying to hear what somebody thinks of the pics I take. If I finally get up the courage to post a picture please take it easy on me.

I'm trying my best to learn but frankly just do not know what makes a great picture from a mediocre one. Thank you all for all for your post I learn a little more from each one.

Building up the courage to post a picture.........

Absolutely gorgeous ! Great macro the you can count the hairs on the thistles,

Looking for a recommendation for the best resonalbly priced tripod. It doesn't have to be carbon fiber aluminum will do. My biggest headache is when I take super zoom shots . I have a Canon Sx50HS. I like the super zooms because I'm a newbie and don't want to spend a ton of Money or tote around a ton of lenses. I'm just not to that point yet.

What drives me crazy though right now I have a Manfroto MC3. Which I like fine except when taking long zoomed shots the ball will creep out of frame after I lock it down. In other words after I have framed the shot and lock the wheel down the head will drift. So I am constantly having to realign the frame.
Is there a better resonalbly priced ($100-$200 or lower)tripod on the market with a better ball head that will stay put?

Any advise y'all could give me on this subject would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to each of you!
