Hi Rick,

   What I'm really interested in is how to best deal with different lighting
	situations.

	I do most of my photography when I take trips, and I usually only get
	one chance to take a picture of something when I'm there.  Of course,
	it's usually cloudy, rainy, high noon with deep shadows, etc. and 
	the pictures usually don't come out quite like I expected.  The worst
	for me is habit shots when it's cloudy out.

	The other thing I'd love to learn more about is how to use fill flash.
	I understand the theory, but my execution is spotty at best.  :)

Chris
