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 use my digital camera for point and shoot type of stuff, but for
creative photography, I still use a 35mm SLR. I like the versatility
of it. I can be more creative with my 35mm SLR at the time the picture
is taken. Most of the creativity in digital is done with the software,
the darkroom so to speak. With good software, though, you can make
quite dramatic affects, without using filters, etc. Adobe Photoshop is
very nice.


I dunno. My digital SLRs are far more complex in their abilities to mess
around with picture taking than my Canon film SLR ever was...

I shot nothing but 'chromes for years for the great color of the film
and so they could be examined under first generation conditions to
determine what was good enough to publish. But the ability to mess with
a first-generation digital photo with a good software suite and not have
generational losses as you save and reload and peel away, et
cetera...this makes digital photographer a real boon.

son of Howdy Doody or 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?
