picture, I loved it. Being able to capture an image and keep it for a lifetime has always intrigued me. Over the years, I taught myself more and more about photography. Every little setting, every little detail matters. It's not as simple as just pointing it and pressing the button. You need to think about what image you want to capture, how you're going to capture it, what setting you're going to use, the light you need and more importantly, what the image says.
