Interesting that you mention having very little zoom, much of the time I use a standard non zoom lens, therefore have to walkabout to get composition. That is not always possible in some situations or with certain types of photography. But I will say this, especially to the beginners, using a fixed focus lens will improve your compositional skills because you have to think more about what you are doing, every time you do that you are learning. Further more Prime (fixed focus) lenses are generally superior in quality to their zoom counterparts, for technical reasons that I wont go into here. Bottom line is, if you have a basic point and shoot with no zoom you can still take great photographs with a little practice and experience.

The Truth is Out There
