Hello,
Just joined and i see that you have a photo competition.
I have just bought the following items.
Sony A200 complete with standard lens 18-70.
Sigma lens 70-300.
Sandisk compact flash 2 memory card.
58mm Uv filter.

Please can you advise what is required to take a good photo.
It may be a basic or silly question but surely it is not a matter of pointing the camera at an object and pushing the button.
What kind of things do people look for in a photo to make it better than the next photo.


Thanks very much.
