Howdy,
My Sony 717 (about 2 1/2 years old) started behaving very weirdly

several photos, one of them in the link below:

I'm not a regular in here, but caught the tail end of the usual
trashy usenet comment/flame posts, so decided to look up the
subject of defamatory posts, it seems it is a clear cut case of
libel? And many, many successful cases brought for online libel.

You would never know that this is a photo site. There are too many unrelated

Hey Folks
I use an Olympus C765, a Dell Latitude x300 laptop and an Epson Stylus
Colour 760 printer. The printer is old but reliable and good enough quality

For some reason my nice new Kodak CD33 3.1MP camera seems to take a bit of
time writing images to my 128MB SD card. Is this normal, or should I buy
myself a Kodak SD card?  I purchased the cheapest 128MB SD card I could find
at Fry's electronics.  I do not even recognize the name of ...

I started out like most 'old school' photographers in a B&W darkroom.
Developer and Fixer chemical smells filling the tiny red lit
environment that felt normal until you walked outside into the real
world. The fumes went away but so too did the beauty of the image you

Just came across this technique while browsing Flickr.
Further reading suggests its 3 of the same picture taken at different
exposures, the pictures are then combined with tone mapping to produce
amazing results.

Here's my deal. I would normally go to B&H or a local place for this.
I'm looking to buy a second SB-800 flash. I have some Amazon gift
certificates, so I figured I'd get it online.
Adorama has an Amazon presence, but they don't offer the SB-800. Amazon
