Seems that with a number if not all camera, when you change the lenses, the
entire guts of the camera is exposed to the air, which if you are outside
doing wildlife photography, can be rife with dust which to me is a terrible
thing, dust is everywhere, and cleaning is a risky ...

Why does the author of a Digital SLR book I have insist on referring to
"increasing the aperture" when going from f/4 to, e.g., f/22 ?
Surely this is decreasing the aperture size and thus decreasing "the
aperture".

I have a Bogen (Manfrotto) monopod (possibly a Gruppo 434) and the
spring at the top which pushes the camera screw out has got jammed.
About an inch from the top, under the foam covering, there is a thin
metal pole which I've already removed but I still can't get the top off.

Lately it's been so humid where I live that when I go outside and remove my
lens cap my lens (and filter if I have one on) instantly fog. On a couple of
occasions after being outside for as little as 10-15 minutes my entire
camera is moist, once to the point it had actual drops of ...

I got one of them canon rebel 2000 digital cameras.  The lens that came
with it is pretty good for general photos, but I am looking for

I've got an "effectively brand new" Minolta 3000i that I'm looking to part
with, having gone mostly digital now.  I say effectively brand new, because
I've only shot one roll on it out of the box.  No real manual focus options,

Hi...
I am planning a photography trip for the hot air ballon festival. Interested
to find out other people going to (or who have gone in the past) this event
and share tips on travel/photography. (

Since there are so many Marks these days I'm going to go by Beach Bum to
help mix it up a little. :)

I went to the beach and dunes of 'Koksijde' at the Belgian coast for a
bathing-suit shoot with Charris. We had lots of fun and a good preparation
of the poses wich resulted in some nice pictures. Check it out at
http://users.pandora.be/foto.fre/charris.htm

I have put new images in a slide-show.
This time there are pictures from different Dutch Zoo-parcs. Feel free to
have a look.
Please let me know what you think about it.
