I do have Photoshop and Lightroom and do like both - I use them in conjunction with my noise reduction tool and with (of all things) Picasa for some quick and dirty work.

I've got a photographer here in Portland that I'm sure if I asked nicely, she'd let me in on a few shoots, but she's in Africa now, so I'll have to wait until she gets home.

I'd love to see your camera some time.

And thank you for the compliment. :D I'm just getting really excited about the photography stuff. I really like how my recent pictures have been coming out, and then for K to have used some of my Faerieworlds photos in the program for OryCon made me so tickled.
