If you want to learn to take better pictures and don't have the dough for workshops or courses, you might try Flickr, the online social network of amateur and professional photographers.  Flickr is just four years old, but already it has attracted top knotch photographers from all over the world.  Many beginners too.  After uploading pictures to Flickr you can organize them in sets and tag them with keywords, so that Web surfers can easily find them (provided you have given public access, that is).  At Flickr you can join groups of photographers who love shooting certain subjects or favor certain techniques. There are thousands of such groups at Flickr, but if you can't find any that appeal to you, you can start one yourself.  Flickr is free at the basic level.  For $25 a year you can purchase extra privileges, like unlimited uploads (which is great if you don't have much hard disk space to back up your photos.)  I've learned a great deal about bird photography by corresponding with Flickr friends.  A tip from one taught me the nack of capturing a speeding Great Blue Heron in mid air so that you can see every marvelous feather. You're welcome to download my picture on the left by clicking on it. It makes a great computer Desktop docoration!  I'm a Flickr fan, as you can see.  You might become one too!  Please visit my Flickr photostream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tcd123, and give Flickr a try.
