    My biggest photo struggle is consistently making sure I backup & safeguard my photos.

    How do I narrow it down... I've been trying to take pictures without the flash and accept the imperfect results. Storage.. organization... want to move out of "autopilot" mode on my camera... need to learn photoshop... etc. etc.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

    I love to take photos, loads of them especially of my little boys. My greatest struggle is getting round to backing them up and getting the best actually printed. This is going back to last May now, so everytime I hear thunder I run and unplug the computer so that I don't loose them!

    My biggest photo struggle is light. I often take pictures inside the house, lots of memories to be taken with the kids, but the lighting is bad. I use a flash, but it creates shadows in the pictures. Thanks so much!! em

    My biggest problem besides not having enough time to scrapbook the photos is hitting the delete button. I really need to just delete many picture since I have a good one in the mix. Just cannnot seem to do it "in case" I need it later.

    My photo challenge at this time would be to learn to use my camera's settings to get the best photo without using the flash.

    Where to start? Figuring out my camera. I neeed to take a really good digital photog class.
    Then, I need to work on getting them uploaded promptly.
    I also keep to many of the "iffy" photos and I need to learn to let go of some that aren't so great.
    I also need to learn how to resize them I guess that means I need to get photoshop, so add that one to the list. I have quite a bit..... I am a lost soul in the world of photography

    My biggest photo struggle - I take a lot of pictures! I average probably 400-500 a month. My struggle is getting rid of the so-so pictures. I can pick out the 10-20 fabulous pictures, but I always keep the other ones around "just in case". In case of what, I don't really know. But these extra photos really clutter up my hard drive and bookcases . . .

    Biggest struggle: organizing them so I can find photos for the things I want to scrap. Second biggest struggle: stopping long enough to get photos / having camera handy when a photo moment happens. I really want to work on getting more every day life photos.

    My biggest photo dilemma, that's easy. I don't know how to take a decent photo. But I intend to learn when my husband and I invest in a Nikon D-80!

    My biggest photo struggle is getting myself to take pictures with the flash. I don't have a lens with low enough aperture just yet, and my house has an abundance of low light areas. I want beautiful pictures, but I want our life caught to remember more!

    Although there are many, many things I must learn, that I struggle to attain, the most frustrating for me are the moments I am missing. There are times, probably every day that I miss the perfect lighting, the sweet smile on my little girls face, the all-boy action pose of my very energetic son. Perhaps you will then understand my happiness, when I come across this quote recently: “There will be times when you will be in the field without a camera. And, you will see the most glorious sunset or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed. Don't be bitter because you can't record it. Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!” ~DeGriff. I have taken it to heart and begun enjoying the moments in between "the quest for the perfect photo". Thanks for your inspiration!!

    My struggle is deleting digital photo files. Even if they are blurry, poor quality or even if it is almost exactly the same as the one before it, I cannot bring myself to hit delete!

    my biggest problem is that I always end up saying..."how come my pictures don't look cool like Ali's?"
    Pick me! Pick me!

    Ohhhhh how I want and NEED this book. My biggest struggle is actually getting the pictures PRINTED and organized. I have empty albums, and I need to get on track with some kind of system. I think Stacey's book could change my life!

    My biggest struggle is my digital camera. It is so hard to take a clear picture and then to download it on my computer and edit it. It drives me crazy. I know there are probably simple ways to do it but I am just not savvy with this. I guess I need a digital photography for Dummies book!

    Like others, my biggest struggle is deciding which photos to have printed. I never know which ones I want to use on a page, and don't want to be totally overwhelmed with photos!

    The quality of my photos is my biggest struggle. I see all of these great photos online and in the magazines. Mine just aren't there. I just cannot get lighting figured out.
