    Beginner trails in Florida?

    I remember heading out from Gulf Breeze beach when I visited and a lot of the beaches outside of the tourist areas were conservation areas. It looked like people were camping at them, too.

    Show us a bridge on the trail!

    I love that bike trail! Hard to believe the Big Muddy was used to fill Rend Lake which is used for drinking water. Yuck. LOL

    How many photos do you typically take?

    And also put your camera in manual mode and just play around with the settings. Learn from doing things on your own. That's helped me a lot.

    Save your money and enjoy free YouTube unversity :) Everything you need to know is there. Learn some settings and then find a simple target to practice on, like something in your backyard.

    How many photos do you typically take?

    I tend to really focus and try to get a good photo. I'll spend several seconds to a minute taking photos of one scene to get that perfect one.
