Would love to take shots of people but don't have the guts to ask people. There are a few young children now where I live and would love to try and take some photo's of them! The couple of shots that I've taken of people have come out fairly well.

Due to the outlook that many people have these days, I think you might want to change the wording on that

Like many of you the two areas that I want to improve on, are taking photos and editing.

Regarding photography, I think the way to go is to learn how to use your camera and to it's best and know it's capabilities and limitation and how to improve upon them by the use of lenses, filters etc. A good photographer can take that elusive shot with even the basic of cameras which means that it is not the camera with all the bells and whistles that gets that special photo, which we all want to take.

On Photoshop, I am a member of The Little Photoshop forum and own many of Stuart Little’s DVD’s and PS actions who runs the forum and website.

I would like to improve on the manual settings, I rely too much on auto! But I am trying, also on editing I would like to know when to stop!! Actually I would much rather not have to edit them at all!

I would love to improve on basic manual options.

I need to try some portraiit work too.My kids either hide or go staright onto "grin" mode although my youngest is very photogenic....
