Wow, Gay!

That's a beauty of a plant, AND a great photo! Thanks for sharing your practice! I think you are doing better than I did when I first got my latest camera... :)

Gay,
A great shot of a great plant. Linda has had one in the window sill for about 3 years and it is as good looking as the day she bought it. It is tough to keep those looking like yours.
I do lots of Haworthia but have not chanced the H. arachnoidea.
IMO the only way to learn a new camera is use it and make sure you use as many features as you will use it for. After a while it is like an instrument and most shots are no brainers. You just do what need to be done automatically.
The alternative is to chance loosing the 1 in a 1000 shot that always presents itself when you least expect it.
Click, Click,
AZED
