I have owned a Digital Rebel XTI camera for about a year now.  This
camera has been very loyal to me under normal shooting conditions.  I

I have just started to experiment with time lapse photography.  I was

friends PC laptop.  We used this program from Breeze systems:

Just put up a page about my latest toy (sold on eBay this week), the
Zeiss Ikon Contaflex, with one sample image each from the three lenses.
I really don't feel I was able to get the best from the scanned print
of the stormy sky, but it was a "one hour photo" cheapo, and my ...

I recent bought a used Nikon D200 from an acquaintance who had recently
upgraded to a D300. Great camera, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I've
already had a D50 for a couple of years.
The D50 uses a type of Li-Ion battery called the EN-EL3. The D200 uses a

    I picked this up (they were completely out of Nikor micro lenses) on
the weekend.  So far, I'm thoroughly enjoying it :).
Anyone have pros/cons for this lens that I should know about?  Foibles
and the like?

I have a D70s and am considering the Nikon SB-600 Speedlight since the
camera will fire the remote speedlight. I will need  rechargeable
batteries and a charger. What type of battery or charger would you
recommend? Thanks,
