I have just been into photography for about 3-4 months now. In my gallery, if you look at my "first" pieces, they really bite, and if you look at my latest work, I admit I did improve. But I am still no where near some of the best work here. I recently did read a few books on photography as well...and I don't think it helped much either.

I am beginning to think its my camera (Canon Powershot A80) not me. Is that camera good? Or should I get another one...

I also don't know the photography lingo either...
What the heck is an SLR??? I tried to search on the internet, the only conclusion I came up with is that you can work more with the lenses...if thats the case, I don't think a SLR will help my photography much...

My photographer friends, please tell me whats wrong with me and my pictures?!
