What's your challenge?

Is it...

-red eye
-out of focus (blurry)
-heads cut off (my Mom use to be really good about doing this)
-everybody not looking at the same time
-just everybody not at the same place at the same time
-not knowing how to use all of the settings
-having that one person that just doesn't want to be in the picture

and I am sure that there are about a bajillion more challenges that we all face with using a camera.

I have a wonderful camera, it's the human factor I have a problem with (mainly the kids not cooperating). I can add this to the list too:

- Cheesy smiles that are forced and completely unnatural

I have a Lumix 10X and I still have alot of learning to do with it. Even though I've read the manual I still don't know how to use all the settings.
Sonja...I'm looking forward to reading all your how to's .
