Beginning Digital Photography - Tips & Techniques

I'm just starting to learn the Art of Digital Photography and I am mostly teaching myself.  I can't afford to take any classes right now, however, I hope that can be in my future sometime.  But in the meantime I have a digital camera and I love to take pictures and I want to do it well.  So I am seeking information anywhere I can find it.  I've read the book that came with my camera from cover to cover, I have practiced taking photos and editing them using free software programs like Picasa.  And I have searched the internet for any kind of help in learning this art.  And I think, for a beginner, I have taken some pretty cool shots. 

One thing I have learned is that as a beginner I just need to practice, practice, practice.  Learn all the functions of my camera, experiment with how lighting affects my pictures, and experiment with my favorite subjects and the different ways to capture them. 

I have found a wonderful website that has helped me so much with tips and techniques on how to become great at digital photography.  Go to this link - Beginning Digital Photography  to learn more.

And here are some of my favorite shots I have taken.
