im really not too worried about someone stealing one of my pictures and
using it on their site, but has anyone in here ever seen one of their
pictures used on the web or in the real world without their permission?...
just curious...

To all the photography experts out there: how do you take a panoramic shot
with a compact digital camera? I have a Canon Powershot SD400 and it gets
less view than my eyes can get of a room. I want a photo with the widest
view I can get in one frame.

Amazon UK is advertising 1GB of SD memory by Viking for
£10.49 (20 US dollars) including all taxes.  
P-&-P is about £3.20 (6 dollars).

I've just re-discovered about 200 slides in the loft of my
'back-packing' days, so they're at least 20 years old.
I would now like to transfer the slides to DVD.  For sure, I've googled
to see what price I'm likely to pay commercially, but I created these

I have a little old view master pana-vue 2, $9.95 you know...
but the lens is rather dreadful, uncoated and warped, and I
would like to check for sharpness as well as see a much nicer
image that is magnified.  More than just seeing what the image

I want to calculate how bright a photograph's subject is given these

Just before I retired about three years ago, I purchased a new Pentax 67II
SLR and I had big plans for it!  Well I used it once to photograph my
daughter's wedding and it has sat in the case ever since.  I guess it's

Is there a look-up table somewhere on the web for the US & European
names of Canon's models?
For example:

I just completed a test of ISO versus noise.  I thought that the results
might be interesting to the group.
The test setup was as follows:

Does the brain dampen emotional response to familiar environment over
time?  Will someone exposed to the same environment day after day begin
to see less contrast and saturation, even movement, as a survival
mechanism to deal with safe and familiar environments?  In other words,

I went to Kings Landing Historical Settlement in New Brunswick last
weekend. My family and I had a great time. I took a few snapshots, but
I'm not 100% convinced with the exposures. It was a bright sunny day
and even though I used a polarizer,

I've had the above lens for a while, but I think it took a knock and now
it's soft and awful at wider apertures...
Is it worth my while pulling it to bits to try to fix it (I've dismantled
many an object in my life, but never a lens), or for the money am I just

I am in the UK. I'm thinking of buying my first digital camera and am
trying to price up the whole package and will need some SD Memory.  
I guess the speed of the memory affects how long it takes to store (or
read) the data from a picture.  And of course I don't want a lag on my
