Great news folks!  Bush's fuckin world is crashing in around him and we all
get to laugh.  We are getting rid of yet another one of Bush's cronies,
Alberto Gonzales.  Maybe the two border agents wrongfully imprisoned will
finally get justice!!!

OH sh.t!!!  I guess this means they will raise the prices?  It seems you
never know who you are buying from?

I photographed a diamond ring recently, but the final images lack 'sparkle'.
Any tricks and tips for adding a 'sparkle' to it post process?

In terms of digital pocket cameras, so far I have owned and used the
Fuji V10, an F40 for my son which he used and liked, but then lost,
and recently based on the specs, I bought a Fuji F50 for my daughter

Two questions about recorded digital photo files:
1. Filename for photos : Canon with IMGxxx, Panasonic with Pxxx, Casio
with CIMGxxx, Sony with DSCxxx. What about others such as Pentax,
Nikon, Kodak, Olympus, Fuji, etc. ?

you add your name and copyright information in Photoshop, or after the photo
is printed?
Thanks,

or less light sensitive, but what adjustments does the camera make?
2. What is white balance and how should it be set for general use?
