I would welcome a photography classroom, as a complete beginner, where the many experts could unscramble my 'took it on a night-time setting without flash' type of description into photographerspeak, and then tell me how I should have done it. I'm seeing great stuff, have no idea even of the scope of my camera, and reading the manual isn't helping at the moment as there are so many choices. I know I'm no good at it at the moment. Most of us know where we are skill-wise, I should think.
Looking at Boddie, Eeyore and John's pictures of Red Kites in Wales, and reading their settings, etc., I still have no idea how they achieved such amazing shots!
