I have been studying the art of photography over the last couple of days and have concluded that my meagre point and shoot efforts will have to cease . There is much more too it than that .

Good stuff Rob. I'm coming back later tonight to read some of these articles. It's very timely for me as I'm only petending to be a photographer. I've taken about 300 pics so far with mixed results at best.
One thing I've been doing lately is bringing my photos into a photoshop type of program, I'm using Corel Photopaint and Coreldraw.
The other day I had my 15 year old son doing a photoshoot of yours truly. What a ham I am. When I uploaded the phots to my computer I noticed I had a spot of leprosy on the right side of my face. It was on all the pics. Must have been something on the lens. I hope!!
Just touched up the photos in a jiff in Photopaint and I looked as handsome as ever.
Thanks for the articles!

Absolutely agree with Mark. I've been mulling over whether I should get one of these EZ tents, and now I'm convinced.
Thanks Rob for the extraordinarily helpful articles!

LOL - you certainly can get the photo thingys on eBay.
A great place to talk with lots of great folks who range from professional (make a living from) photographers to lots of us rank amateurs is http://www.anglersnet.co.uk/forums/index.php?showforum=34
You'd never think of a mainly fishing forum as offering a great photography section but this one does. UK based site and mainly UK members but a few of us from the US, OZ, and other assorted locations.
Thanks for the advice Newt ..i'll check it out
Rob
