I have an old Eumig projector --- remarkable machine for its era --- and a device with a groundglass and a mirror. I set it my Canon DSLR on a tripod, project the image into the mirror device and shoot the groundglass in movie mode. I then transfer the MPEG image files from the camera memory card into my computer where I edit, add sound and titles and then copy onto a DVD in my video editing program. I tried it with a couple of other video cameras but the images seemed jumpy and streaky. The DSLR seems to work best because you can play with the frame rate.

I have worked in layers of learning, originally playing with it and learning the basics. I have a couple of books and when I want to do a specific task, I look it up. There are some features I never use but they're available if I want them. One useful feature not common to most other programs is perspective control which I use a lot. You don't have to be an expert to use it. Just go deep enough to meet your needs.

This is racist, offensive, erroneous, inaccurate and insulting to both Muslims and Canadians. It has no place on what is supposed to be a forum for amateur photographers.

Lovely work! Also happy to see you have used black and white which so many of us overlook.

Anyone who has endured the ravages of cancer and chemo would find this upsetting, painful and tasteless.

There is not one English accent. There are probably more different accents in the UK than in the US...Ulster..Lancashire...Welsh...Yorkshire...Scots..Northumbria...London...even various sections of London. Accent is very much a social status thing. I had a dramatic illustration of that some years ago at a reception in London with two equally qualified and equally attractive women doing public relations. One had a posh London accent. The other was midlands. The way they were treated by other Brits was quite different and revealing.
By contrast here in Canada there are hardly any accents. There is a distinctive Newfoundland accent and there are some minor variations, more in usage than pronunciation, in the maritimes and the Ottawa valley. Quebec, of course, is a different matter. Quebec French is very similar to the regional dialects in the north of France because that is where most Quebecois have their roots. And a French Canadian accent is looked down on by many upper class Parisians.

My most interesting recollection is that the island is circled by an official Michigan state highway with a number and official highway markers. But only bicycles are allowed.

I don't think the new camera has anything to do with it. It's the photographer behind it. You are good!

I fiddled a bit in PS. Cropped so she is looking into the space at the right...darkened and partially desaturated the background...enhanced the colour and contrast in her face.
I think that changes it from a nice snapshot into an interesting portrait.

Get comfortable with what you have have before you expand into extra gear. And resist the temptation to buy needless gadgets. Some people are in photography to take pictures. Others see the hobby as collecting new toys.

Lovely stuff.

St. John and St. John's are very very different cities and also about a thousand miles apart. Although Newfoundland is part of Atlantic Canada, it is very very different from the maritime provinces (NB, NS, PEI) and well worth a separate trip.
