It can often be a bit intimidating to ask questions of very experienced or proffesional photographers, some can be snooty and elitist (that's not anyone here, i'm talking about other photography forums), but HG has always been very welcoming of all types of photographs, & skill levels.
Even a fudd like me with his cheapie camera isn't ashamed to post their efforts
I'm only now attemping to fiddle around with stuff like white balance, and other settings (although there's not much on a point & shoot), to see if I can learn a bit more about it.
I think a well composed shot is more important than a technically "correct" one. I met a guy last week who was out and about taking pics and he told me he had been "into" photography for years and gave me a link to his pics online - they were bloody awful! Technically they were okay but they looked for all the world like someone's holiday snaps.
To be fair though my own photos were like that too until I started visiting HG and took inspiration from the stuff here - Fossil and Alan being the main two that I have stolen ideas from

Cheers for the mention Graham just clocked it.
Glad you like me stuff

And what free editing programmes would you recommend ? I've altready got Infanview, & Imageforge.
Simple programmes would be good
