Recently I saw a photographer at an air show
using a 400mm lens on a 35mm SLR.
He was using a pan type head on his tripod.
Wildlife photographers have a similar need

Bought an Epson 2200 in October, I am pretty happy with the prints, but am
on my third one as the heads keep getting clogged and have had it replace
under warranty, any tips on how to keep it from clogging up, seems like when
I don't use it for a few weeks it happens, using epson ...

I am staying in Sedona, Arizona for three days over the July 4th
weekend.  I have never been there before, but am excited to go.  Any
thoughts or ideas on where to go for can't miss shots?  Where is the
best spot for getting a magnificent sunrise and sunset.  Where to go for

Howzabout it, Coloradans? Any word on likely bloom peaks in the high
country?
Northern NM is kinda dull this spring, AL in the Taos & Pecos areas. We
did have a fine early iris show, but that's over now. Exceptional

filter, compared to a non-coated filter, a big deal?
Thanks,

Sometimes it seems true that you can't go home again:-(
In New Mexico along I 40 at the Continental Divide , there is a real

I had stopped to buy some Indian jewelry at one of the tourist trading

I would like to take photos that have a 'gritty' appearance. Unfortunately, I
am just a novice photographer! I would be extremely grateful for any guidance.
My inspiration comes from films such as 'Saving Private Ryan' and the advert
for Stella Artois. There seems to be a filter ...

I'm wondering about what folks think about nature photos as art (e.g., to
put on the wall of your living room, not sales to magazines) versus other
media, such as paintings.  Why does someone like one over the other?  I
started selling my photos at a local art gallery over a year ...

I had the opputunity to test the EF 400/2,8 the other day
and it is impressive, but too big and heavy for me. So I'm
thinking the 500/4,0 is the better choice, but how do their

I was up there a couple weeks ago, only had a few hours of decent light but did
OK ... here are four shots from the digital camera, I like the film shots
