We have a new forum dedicated to Photography. Ask "hows", "with whats" and hopefully some fun virtual treasure hunts.
Photography is such a huge part of travel, and travelblog that it deserves it's own forum. We've gathered together all the existing photography topics and brought them here.
If any experienced and friendly, photo mad members wish to become a moderator of this forum let me know.

Reply to this That's great, Ali! Appreciate having this forum because I'm still learning and have lots of stupid questions.
Reply to this I have the "original" digital camera used by Adam when he was a boy. It is an Olympus C4040z and what is today, a piffling 4.2 megapixels. It cost nearly US $700 in 2001 ( a fortune back then). BUT it is still a great camera because it has a great lens. I think this is more important than other gizmos that you hardly use on cameras. When all said and done, it's "the nut behing the wheel" that is most important: empathy with the subject; insight and imagination; the right light and composition and a bit of retained editing are the shot. The only problem with my old camera is that it uses discontinued/obselescent "smart media" which aren't made any more. Everybody has these dinky little camera cards. When my old cards finally stuff up, I'll have to ditch a wonderful camera. It's a conspiracy!!
