    Patience can play a big part in photography. I have waited hours to try to get the right shot in the correct light and it turned out lousy, and likewise gone in and taken a shot very quickly and been great, you just never know.

    Thanks for the feed back.
    Your right Scott that patience can not assure a great photo. But in the long term it is nearly impossible to produce great photos consistently without it.
    What Xinxia says about a sense of caring is very true for photography and everything we do.
    thank you both
