I have a Phillips pcs130 enlarger but I don't know which condensers to use
according to the according to the format (ie 6x7, 6x6 or 35).
Would be grateful for advice from a PCS130 owner. Thank you. Mike.

The following are outstanding photos I found by Googling words Sydney and
lightning. That's the Sydney in Australia.

(Hope I'm on the right forum.  I know a lot of photogs here are in or have
visited the US, so will understand what I'm after.  Actually, the last part
of this is applicable to shooting in any large industrial city worldwide, so
possibly will be of general interest.)

I have always only owned a point and shoot camera but was after something a
bit better without going to the expense of a DSLR.
The canon s3is has had some pretty good reviews in the net, but are there
any other comparable cameras I should also be looking at.

I have just uploaded the winner and finalists in the Power Retouche fine
photography competition we ran on my site in January:

It seems there's never a week goes by that I don't get asked questions
about falling buildings, leaning lamp posts, etc. - why does it happen
and can it be put right? I thought the easiest way to answer both
questions was to write an article and illustrate it with screen shots.

I've just had my telephoto lens delivered and went out to try it today.
I must say, I'm a bit dissapointed.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I just can't seem to get a
shot in focus with it fitted.

Yeah, I know it's not a marketplace NG.  At least I'm not selling.
But in the off chance that someone, somewhere has this piece of sh.t,
useless, crappy bokeh, camera bag ballast, I will consider taking it off
your hands if it's in very good shape.

I have looked everywhere, and I can't seem to locate a digital "slide"
projector.  A unit like the Kodak Carousel, but one could load memory
cards into it.  Computers are fine for personal viewing, but if you
want to show a group your vacation slides, you still need to display

As per subject, can anyone recommend one?
It's going to hold  a Nikon D80 with a 125mm lens, on a SLR Zoom Gorillapod
(arrived this morning....brilliant piece of kit)
Needs to be compact and light as possible, as will be used when wandering

When doing headshots it is custommary to put the subject's name in the lower-right
corner.
What is the best or correct font and size to use? I have tried almost every font and
find that the edges are jagged even in the final print which is unacceptable.

I have been using a 1 stop more exposure comp for winter snow scenes. I
was wondering what other folks idea is of the best all-around comp.

I have been experimenting with various fluorescent color temps and std
3200 incandescent photofloods.  In using a white background, I found
that I got NO detail no matter what light source I used.  If I changed
the white foamcore to a blue foamcore, the detail really came out.

I took a photograpy "class" a couple of years back and the guy doing it
suggested getting some type of filter for your lens for two reasons that I
believe I am remebering correctly.  I believe he suggested getting a UV
filter, the one I believe he showed us was just a clear ...
