It allows them more choice, and at time choice can lead to problems, and cause people to give up on it. That is what I was trying to say. Sorry for the bad syntax on my part.

DEAR KRO77,

Beginner is some one who has just started doing some thing new which he has not done before. It is very common for any one taking in to photography normally starts with a point and shoot. Then they see the pics they take, make albums out of the ones they feel good, discard the balance. For many taking pics is just another pass time. They see the scene and snap away. But if you do not know ( I am talking about the Film camera days), in India, for every 10 film rolls sold, only 3 came back for developing. Imagine 7 were just discarded. Here in this forum, if some one joined us, he has joined us for the sake of improving the images he creates. So when we talk about a beginner here, we talk about some one who has understood that there is a theory behind taking GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS. And he wants to learn HOW, that is why he has joined us. So that is the reason our friend was just a bit upset as he was called a beginner. BUT WE ARE ALL BEGINNERS AS THIS WHOLE UNIVERSE IS DYNAMIC IN NATURE AND CHANGE IS THE ONLY UNCHANGING EVENT. Sorry to be PHILOSOPHICAL. But you both are right in your own way. For every one is their OWN ROAD.
In the meanwhile please be HAPPY CLICKING AWAY.

Best Regards,
KRIS
