Thank you for your great comment. I have gone a little crazy buying gear, but I did manage to purchase a very strong Tri-Pod which is helping a lot. I have bought DVD's from National Geographic regarding "Fundamentals of Photography". They are a great start in learning and I think they should help all people just starting out.
