MWAC, Thanks for challenging us! I do have questions though. Maybe a little of my photo history will explain:

I am an 83 year old retired minister (definately older than dirt) that started with a Nikormat FTn and used Aperture, and Shutter settings a lot. Went through many years totally out of photography, except for family occasions. Then a year ago I got a Canon G12 but have never mastered it. Then a month ago I got a Lumix DMC ZS5 and so far have only taken pictures the "lazy" way..."Scene" (Portrait and landscape, etc.).

Now, my two questions to you:
a. This little Lumis will function well on A or S settings,
but if set on A for instance, it doesn't tell what shutter speed it chooses, I don't know where to find the info. hence I won't have that to post. Can I post without complete info.?
b. My other question is about what camera I should buy to have more control. I don't want to lug most DSLRs, but after reading a blue million reviews don't have a real prospect in mind, except maybe a Fuji X10. Just reading doesn't tell me whether I could master it or not. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Don't cheepin yourself with your art. Yes you want them to sell but you don't want to give them away either. I sell my art for a living and if I only made $15 an image I would have to sell way too many images to stay alive.
A normal price for selling your art (there really is no normal) is to remember all you have put into it. For example If I sell an 11x14 no frame or matt I may have several prices. It depends on the peice itself however normally I sell an 11x14 for $275. I take into consideration the cost for the camera, learning, printing, driving to the location to shoot the image, insurance for my camera etc, etc. This may not help too much but you would be better off to say something like "normally" my 11x14 sells for $200 but if they sell at the show they are only $149. Use your own prices. That makes you look like you are giving them a good deal (which you are) and you still get paid for your work.
Hope that helps in some way.

If you have access to one, and it will work on your camera, you might try again with a polarizing filter in front of your lens. You'd be amazed at how much surface glare that filter will reduce or eliminate.

If he's on a nest, Mr. Bass may be around for awhile, giving you
the opportunity for another crack at him.

Thanks for sharing!
