What?? What does 1/200 mean? I get the f8 and the ISO bit... Also, what is IS/VR? I've got a remote release but it doesn't appear to work - do you get different ones for different cameras?

I wish photography wasn't so difficult to understand. It's mostly trial and error for me.

I like the colour in your pic Ambriel.

I took some too - I'll try and get around to uploading them at some stage.
