EFGeorgia1,
If you knew how many times I've run to get my camera only to have the shot "long gone" it would bowl you over. I don't carry my camera on me, and have missed some amazing shots because of it. So now I make sure it's charged and not full ( which I've been spending the last several Hours ! saving/deleting photo's to make sure I have room for more. I just wish I could get some really good hummer shots', but don't have the time to "sit", and wait, which is what you have to do with the hummer's. Rapid fire sequence shot's and a good eye for focus is a key. I keep learning, and a "pro" photographer who came out to the farm to do a shoot gave me some excellent tips to getting the most I could from the camera that I have.....which isn't much. You can do quite a lot with an average digital camera, and knowing how to use it, Which I still have a lot to learn. I've done a lot of photography for 20+ years, and am still learning, as technology develops. It's amazing what you can do now with a little cheap camera, that you could only do with fancy lens's and editing even 5-15 years ago. Just mess around with the camera you have and you may be surprised. !
