I like this, because I have received photography help and tips from others. I have also become more picky about my own photos (especially with lighting and focus).

For example, I was told early on how to bounce light off another surface (like white card-stock) to cast indirect lighting on a subject rather than direct lighting. The fellow member mentioned this would help me to minimize glare in an over-exposed photo I had posted.

Since then I have experimented with all kinds of lighting tricks in order to improve lighting. I have appreciated the help of others with photography, special effects and other set and background ideas.

A good rule: "Take advice from those who care; take no offense when none is intended."
