Thanks for the advice. I also did some research last night. I think I might try a few shots.

I have never taken any pictures in RAW. Should I try it and does it convert with GIMP? Is it easy to figure out or do I have to do anything special?

In the last year, I have really developed an interest in photography and these are some of my recent pictures. Having fun learning new things. Hope to learn more. :)
