Who is using what these days if you are into digital photography while
on the boat?

Cameras, lenses, image "processing" software, printers, paper?

I've switched almost entirely from film to digital, and am still working
my way through the various software suites to find the one I like
(translation: does what I want-whatever that is at the moment-without
having to read 300 pages into the manual).

Anyone using lens filters out on the water to deepen, darken, lighten
skies and water?

If you're using a digital SLR, what's your favorite lens?

Just to get the ball rolling here.


I've been holding back to see if these new fangled contraptions last. I
still use my Minolta SRT200 SLR 35mm camera but will probably change over
by Christmas. Just waiting for a 'super deal' to pop up. What I really want
is a combination good quality movie camera that takes stills comparable to a
4 or 5 megapixel digital. I'd probably go with the mini DV format.
I hear the mini DVD's aren't always compatable with your DVD player for TV
showings.



I switched to digital and in fact recently sold off my film SLR. My
wife, though, prefers a small film camera she can tuck in her purse when
she travels.

I've never gotten involved in home movies or videos. I figured it was
ocmplicated enought holding and focusing a camera for one steady shot!

I'm still experimenting to find the "right" digital software package.
I've been playing around a little with the trial version of Adobe's
Photoshop CS, but man, it is complicated, but it is one of the few that
reads the "raw" images my digital camera outputs.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody and Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either
of them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
