Aw, shucks -- it's not like we have any storms to chase right now.
I already got my fill of certain "topics". I'm sure this is the next one!
This is really strange. It said page 3 after your post, but it showed there was more on a page 4. So I clicked on 4 and it takes me to the top of 3 again. I go to the bottom see the same thing. I click 4 again and I'm back to the top of 3. The secrets of the universe must lie on page 4.
(nope! just my post.....it's like the forum already knew I was going to post)

I guess most people on here don't know you can change the number of posts that show on one page. Just go to your User CP and Options to find it.
I've got mine set to 20 for the best balance between reducing the number of pages I have to go through in a long thread and having a page that's too long. Another forum I belong to has a set length of 100 posts per page.
Back on topic, I don't have a decent camera or a vehicle to go chasing, but I am working on it. In the meantime, I am picking up some good tips and things to consider concerning picture composition. If I get some interesting winter weather in my neighborhood, I might take some pics with my low budget camera and post them.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who posted the useful information.

BTW, a good example of someone doing some heavy post processing but finding a "sweet spot" in the market (and making some damned compelling images in the process!) is this fella:

He's only been shooting for a few years, the first couple with a cheap point and shoot. He just turned 18.

Yeah, but the problem I had didn't have anything to do with that, really. It showed I was on page 3, with a page 4 showing at the bottom. I'd click on that page 4 icon, which would take me back to the top of page 3, lol. So it had nothing to do with control panel settings.

One thing I am learning is to just stay persistant when it comes to chasing and shooting. I have to remind myself sometimes to just stick around and keep at it. I am saving to get my first DSLR right now. I am done with the IS, it was my first camera. I bought it to learn with, and I have learned alot in the past few months.
The shops you guys did are amazing. It tells me just how important post processing is. That is one thing I need to play around with more. I know I need to at least get CS, I think I can get it for around 150 on ebay. One thing at a time I guess. Another reason I am upgrading the gear, is the S3 does not shoot in raw. And I was just planning to use it for a little while to learn on. The camera might have to wait a little while. I wanted to get my mother something nice this year. Not to mention I have a big family.
Like mike said I am also starting to get burned out on this thread. I will add though that a few people on here Mike being one, have some awesome, I mean phenomenal work. I have seen some pictures that just make my chin drop. And like a few people I try and surround myself with, they are just humble, and kind. They dont think they are better than you. I know some real jerks, that suck and are actually pretty stupid, but they are always better than you. Doesnt matter, just arrogant and foolish. And what makes me laugh, is there work sucks. I am glad I dont think and work like that. If someone has something to improve upon, I will not hesitate to help. Sometimes I get really discouraged by these people, I guess their negativity is contageous. But if their is one thing I have learned from chasing and being in karate its patience, perserverance, and persistance!
