We may all be at different points, and the graph may not be a straight line, but we should all be both learning and sharing what we know every day we can. You made my day today. Your response made the banging away at the keyboard last night all worth it. Thomas, one thing to remember is that we are all on this photographic journey together.

As a newby I'm always curious to learn about the specific techniques used by more experienced photographers like you. This is very helpful and I will take your advice and look into the books you suggested. I will also read through the other posts you mentioned and look into renting a lens, which I didn't realize was even an option (another great suggestion). I also appreciate your advice with regards to post processing in iPhoto and Photoshop (both of which I use). You mentioned that you “bring up the blacks, maybe a little saturation or vibrancy, something that adds some contrast like clarity or definition, and probably some sharpening”…this is great starting point for me and exactly the kind of specific advice I was hoping for. I have to admit that I'm a bit blown away by your response. That is, you could have more easily replied with something short, like "I like the 17-55 Nikkor." Or, not responded at all. Instead you gave me a complete answer with some very useful and practical advice. THANK YOU!!! Chris – Thanks for the quick and thorough response.
