I've been taking pictures for about 9 years now. My camera of choice is now a Canon EOS 450D (after a Fuji Finepix s5800, Nikon Coolpix 4800, 3500 & 2500 and a Canon Powershot SX10 IS).

I don't remember exactly how that quote goes but it's something along the lines of "It doesn't take much to take a good picture of something beautiful. It takes a lot more to take the picture of something ugly and make it beautiful." - that's what I want to learn.
