Beginner/Basic Tutorials

Wondering if we could maybe get some Tips and Tricks sections setup related to certain photography:

ie.

Macro / Closeups
Portrait
Landscapes
Sport
etc


Something I had difficulty this late arvo was the lack of light to do macro, and an annoying little breeze that was rocking my flower back and forth. Was a tad peeved off because there was a lovely caterpillar munching away on it. I think it would be good if there was sections put up for each specific types of photography with links to tutorials and member tips on what to do and what not to do. What do you guys think?

I've seen a great tool that is an arm that clamps on to your tripod and another end that grasps the macro subject
