Thanks David. I already have them well organized on my laptop HDD, however, I don't want to copy the photos in to subcatagories. I specically want a relational database.

Thanks everyone! I'm looking for a tuturial on Elements catagorizing tools. It's not clear....yet...why some main catagories (people) allow sub-catagories and others (nature) don't. So much to learn......

Since my main focus is organizing I'll probably go to Lightroom and sell Elements along with the Dummies book I purchased with it.

I'm a beginner with about 9 months using my first dslr. I'm retired and travel full time taking mostly landscape photos for personal use and sharing on fb. I want to be able to catagorize photos easily and apply basic editing tools. The software offered by Canon with my t3i doesn't include straightening. I purchased Photoshop Elements 13 and it's way more sophisticated than I need. Suggestions.....?

We were driving down a coastal road in Oregon and my husband suddenly pulled over and said "look!!". Our truck was totally loaded down from vacation and my camera was hidden in it all. I looked like a mad woman throwing stuff trying to find it. I had very little time to decide what settings to use and get the shot. This one is as much "oh you lucky girl" as it is talent.

Thanks!

5.6, 1600, ISO 800

This was taken around 10am driving down the Oregon Coast. Cloudy and overcast skies. Train, man and smoke were moving. Critique welcome!

Thank you. Being new I was so excited to get the shot at all that I overlooked the basics. Drat. I guess it's like most things.....practice, practice, practice. Love the feedback on this site. Constructive criticism will be my motivation instead of glowing remarks that feel....well....empty.

Wonderful feedback, thank you! I feel the same about the weeds....my eyes want them in focus or out of the shot. I saw the layers of weeds, wheat field, forest and mountain range that caught my eye so a larger depth of field might do the trick.? I left at 5am but wasn't at this spot until around 5:45 and the sun was rising behind me. My objective was to see how light changes from early morning to late afternoon.

I purchased my first dslr a couple months ago. Canon Rebel T3i and it has a Canon EFS 18-135mm with Image Stabilizer. Since I'm new to photography I want to immerse myself in the basics before adding to equipment. Would appreciate any suggestions that don't require a request to the budget committee (husband).

I'm very new at this and realizing it's all about light. Would love to hear how I could improve this image. f11 1/125 ISO 200.
