Your biggest frustration in photography?

<p>Insecure amateur photographers who are highly competitive and make snide remarks meant to make me feel bad about myself and my photos.</p>

<p>These are the same people who say to others, "When you can define aperture, then you can use my camera!"</p>

<p>If asked I bet they couldn't define aperture - much less explain it to someone. </p>

<p>Post Processing. I'm finally getting better at deleting photos that I really don't need and that's helped a lot, but learning Photoshop seems to be like rocket science. I know there are other tools to help ease PP tasks, but that's even more software to learn, let alone have to purcha$e!</p>

<p>My biggest frustration is not being able to get as much time in my room of darkness as i would like. Digital is fun and doesn't cost anything to shoot, but i still have never printed any shots from my Nikon D40. Have printed more of my b&ws from my old cameras than i have from the "new" autoeverything camera that i have. I too mourn the passing of panatomic-x. Long live old mechanical cameras and film.<br>

Aperture: The way to control depth of field as well as the amount of light entering the camera for proper exposure of the film or digital image.</p>
