    How do I shoot Slot Canyons?

    I'm trying to learn here, too; but I must be missing something. Why is it advisable to force a long exposure (talking slot canyons here) by stopping down and maybe using a ND filter? Does digital saturate the colors more by longer exposures? Scott

    Formal Training Question.

    I've looked at your linked photo albums....excellent!!! Did you mean you would attend as an instructor? :) Unless money and time are not an issue (meaning you want to attend for the heck of it), I'd say it would be a waste of your time and money. You are way beyond the point of needing any...

    Opinions on an expotrailer made from a utility bed?

    Louie, No, but I would like to someday be able to catch the big Springfield show. This was the Red Power Roundup in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, around June '04. Scott

    Opinions on an expotrailer made from a utility bed?

    Is this what you have in mind? I took these photos a few years ago. It was parked at an International Harvester show, and the owner was not around to talk to. If you want 360* photos, PM me and I'll email them to 'ya. "kcowyo" brought up a good point about the configuration needed to fit...

    new guy with ?

    If you have no photography experience, maybe the "Dummies" series books would be a good place to start. I should get one as a refresher. And look into a community-college type photo class. For the camera, how much do you want to spend? That's the big question. If you are speaking of...

    12.3 DSLR vs. 4X5 view camera?

    The photo... Thanks again to one and all for your thoughts. I love these forums...it would have taken me a whole lot of reading to get my questions answered from books & magazines, and even then I would get one point of view at a time. I could not stop thinking about the picture on the...

    Questions about digital

    TeriAnn, I just read a Popular Photography article on the new Canon EOS 40D, a 10.1 megapixel DSLR. (I'm just now studying the features of DSLR's, as I don't own one yet, so I'm reading up on them.) They say it "has a manual focus feature where you can maneuver a zone box over any part of the...

    12.3 DSLR vs. 4X5 view camera?

    Thanks for all the information. You guys have offered some good insight. I can see where the 4x5's larger lenses and choice of film type would lend a better quality to the image. One huge piece of information I didn't even know about: That pretty much prices me out of it, at least for where...

    Winter in the Sonoran Desert Thanks for all the nice comments! Here's one more that my wife picked out. The young saguaro is being protected by the palo verde tree. The older saguaros in the backround have long outlived their host tree, so they are left to defend themselves. Thanks for...

    1984 Dodge 4x4 van

    Not mine, just found it on ebay. Click on pic to go to the listing. I thought it might make someone an inexpensive alternative to a Sportsmobile!!!! Too bad the seller does not describe the front end.
