Dear Arthur Morris,   I just wanted to thank you for being such a gifted teacher. I can't think of another professional bird / nature photographer as committed to teaching as you my friend.  You are not only teaching how to be a better bird photographer, but how to be a better photographer in general. For that, I thank you again.   You see, it's taken me awhile to transition to digital photography, I had your first book when I was quite younger and a tuff time understanding exposure theory.  I just recently bought a Canon 7D, my first DSLR. I started out with Photoshop Lightroom 2, planning to get CS, and also planning to get a laptop pc soon. Many of my friends and co-workers like my images, started requesting portraits, and said I should start a business, so I did. Thanks to your teaching, I've been learning more about histograms, and just some of your beginner basics I cant tell you how much it's been helping. I can see I need to get The Digital Basics file. I do have your Birds as Art 2 cd-rom and reading and "understanding" exposure and digital photography. It's tuff because all that info doesn't come with camera manuals, you know that and I agree you should be the one who writes those.  I just got a copy of Alan Murphy's Guide to Songbird Set-up Photography, and it's just awesome, a little short not like your 900 some page cd-rom (thank you), but just packed with wonderful ways of attracting birds. Just brilliant. I got this book and the next day I was digging out the old x-mas tree stand for a woodpecker stump, I popped out the end of my old video tripod handle, and used a berry branch as a perch near my kitchen window. Ok I'd better stop: good book!
