Thanks, but you can take photos like this with almost any camera, even one in a mobile phone. It requires only three things; having the camera on a tripod (which may be the most important element,) taking several different exposure settings (also VERY important) so you can choose the one that works best for you. And last being there at the right time, which is either planning or luck. The more you plan, the luckier you get.

I've seen your photos and they are damn good! But using a tripod would make them even better, and taking control of your exposure (stop using 'Auto' mode) would round out the bill! You don't need a 'better' camera. You already understand composition from your painting. Learn to use the other three buttons on the camera you have. You'll be amazed at what you can do with it then!
