I rarely analyse pictures....either my own or anyone else's.
My motive for taking pictures is to capture the essence of that moment...to be relived again at some point in the future.

I take pictures from my heart.........I don't often consider the technicalities of a shot.
Maybe this is because my knowledge of the technicalities is pretty slim.
I know what I like though.......and even those pictures that could not be called technically skilled, have their own charm.....and they still have something to tell.

I would hate for anyone to be inhibited from taking shots because they felt they hadn't got the technicalities right.

That said, I too, am grateful for any hints and tips........and I have really had fun today with the DSLR simulator.........thank you G for putting that on here.
