I think chender means "look through the viewfinder, not the lcd display"...which is exactly what most folks out there with digital cameras do, looking at the lcd and not through the viewfinder. I did that at first then learned real quickly I did better compo using the viewfinder, like always done before with film. I asked myself, why use this little lcd that is impossible to see in bright light. Great responses..I hope anyone new to the art and fun of photographty will read your posts. Cyn(post #6), I have had sable brushes! I soon learned to respect the brush and leave it alone! Still nice to have them, agreed.
