Here is Rupert. He is my yellow lab that I adopted, he has an enlarged bladder which the vet tells me its like drinking water and pissing vinegar. It's not his fault. I bought a Nikon D3200 a while ago and I have been tinkering around with it. I only have the 18-55 mm lens that came with it, and I have to say this is the best picture I have ever taken with the camera.  I am still trying to figure out how to take really good pictures and I dont use auto focus I try to stay on manual.

Nice pic. I've been reading a bit myself, trying to figure out the manual mode and tried "bracketing" to see what the pics look like on three different settings. I'm tempted to get out a notebook and start recording each shot, but with the info right there in the camera, maybe that's a bit outdated too.

I've had my Canon 60D DSLR for about a year now, and just this past month took it out for the first time and put some time and effort into learning it - picked up a guide book (well written by a guy named Bush), very informative.

I picked up a Canon G16 today at Best Buy, amazing little camera. I wish I'd had enough $$ to go with the Canon G1X Mark II, but I had to stop at $450.00 (the G1X Mark II is $799.00) because the wife is getting a little annoyed with this camera thing.

Rupe looks like he is focus locked...

Great shot and great lighting.  I bet if you cropped that down to a vertical 8x10, removing the white space to the left and balancing it a bit, it would make a great framed picture to put on the wall.  Maybe use an old distressed wood frame too.
