Hi I take part in a photo competition at work between a few of us, I am on
the verge of winning my very first entry.
The winner has to pick the theme for the next month as well a buy the tea
for the others.

Just wondering what scanners people are using for scanning negatives &
slides. Looking for a model in the under $500.00 range or so.

I have an old camera I'm interested in selling. It belonged to my
grandfather. You can see a couple pictures of it at:

those these aren't clear. Some hints:

Being a tech junkie, I'm on my third digital camera since they came out. I
have a Nikon 5700 that I have been pretty happy with, but I missed the
manual settings I always used on my film camera. Especially the manual
focus as I was missing those quick candid shots while waiting ...

Where's the bestest place to read up on what to look for in a good lens?
Also, I think I'm needing education about lens technology beyond what I got
from Ansel's "The Camera"
Thx in advance! :)

I have to take 1300 passport sized photos of pupils in our school for a
smart card system. I have a canon rebel camera and I was wondering if there
was an easy way to do this to avoid cutting in photoshop ?
Is there an application that takes the pics at passport size and saves ...

I finally unpacked and set up my Epson R1800 today, following
the tips/links for the new drivers and profiles, although i dont
have any previous prints to compare to the first print I did, which
was very impressive. this was from a 2.2 kb / 2256x1496 pixel jpeg file

I'm seriously considering buying the Nikon D70s. I do mostly
commercial/fashion/portrait work. What's everyone's advice on
accessories that I should get?

Just wanted some comments on a photo I took in Porto, Portugal, which
came out perfectly with the colours, lighting etc. It's using a 300D.
I was just over the moon when I looked at it enlarged on the PC. Can
you comment?

I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas about shooting a wedding at
sunset.  I'm assuming there will be little light , possibly dim
lights/candles etc. I don't want to have to be confined to a tripod.

Just a short message to let you know I have updated My Eye with new pictures
in the galleries "Parisians" and "Lovers".
Enjoy !

Pop up flash necessary for flash use is prevented from opening when flash is
mounted on hot shoe. Is there a cable that would connect from camera hot
shoe to flash shutter cord or hot shoe connection. The digital camera does
not have a flash sync cable connection.

At the moment, I use the standard flash built onto the 300D, but don't
like the cold colours that this shows. I'd like to get a flash that
fits onto the camera, to try and improve my flash photography.
Could anyone recommend a good flash, that isn't too pricey? (UK)

I am about to buy a digital camera and wasnt sure about certain makes.
I seen a BenQ that seemed to have good features, what are BenQ
camera's like for quality? The model I saw was a BenQ DCS40. Also, I
was considering a Canon Powershot 510. Ideally something that is of
