Thanks for the suggestion on the new camera I did a lot of reading and ended up going with a mirrorless model it is much lighter than I expected the learning curve is a bit steep but the image quality is incredible I have been taking lots of photos of flowers in the backyard I am also trying to learn some basic editing software which is a whole other world it is a fun challenge thanks again for the recommendation I wouldn't have known where to start without your advice I have been watching a lot of tutorials online as well there is so much to learn about lighting and composition I think my progress has been pretty good so far I am hoping to take some portraits soon maybe I can practice on you next time we meet let me know what you think also let me know if you have any tips for shooting in low light conditions I have been struggling with that a bit anyway I should get back to work talk to you later
