Why I love digital

Chimping?

I've shot some 300 test frames and 1100+ phots in the past two weeks. All
in "M". All manual focus (except some of the test shots). IOW I use it
pretty much the same way as my film camera (in which I've shot two rolls
of slides in the same period). The only difference is chimping.

Cheers,
Alan

Nice shot. I started out in hang gliders and had an ultralight for a few
years. My ultralight would have been tough to shoot from because your right
out there in the wind and it was also out of rig so I couldn't let go of the
stick without going into a diving right turn.

There's a twin engine 2 seat ultralight (experimental, really since an
ultralight can legally have only 1 seat) that is specifically built for
photography. You sit way out front adn have a clear view all around. You
heave to lean out a little to get straight down, but not much.

Neat,
Here is a photo I took just over 20 years ago, from an ultra-Light I
was flying.

There were no windows to worry about, but the ultra-light did not fly
itself and my camera took two hands to use, you would kind of see the
ground coming up through the view finder.

The problem was if you let go of the controls the engine would throttle
back to an idle and you would start gliding down.

I would have loved to have had a digital camera while I was still
flying that thing.

I will love to see you photos when you get some up loaded.

Chimping is the act of looking at your photos on the camera.

There are a lot of places that can host photo, each person seems to
have the own favorite, I use Pbase.com, $23/year for 200MB of storage.
Pbase pretty much does everything for you and is very easy to use.

I believe that pbase has actually changed their pricing structure, so
that the less of your allocated space that you use, the longer you can
go without paying again.

One of the first things I did when I got my first digital camera 6
years
ago was to do a COMPLETE photo survey of my parent's home inside and
out. This means that I shot each room from every angle, as well as
every shelf, closet, hanging picture, painting, and nick-knack on the
wall, as well as numerous exterior views.

This photo survey serves multiple purposes:

1. As documentation in case anything is ever stolen.

2. As a reminder of things we may have once had but can't seem to
locate
anymore.

3. Memories...My father only had 6 pictures of the back woods cabin
he
grew up in. All of them taken from the same side of the house. I
have
always been disappointed that he didn't have more pictures. I'm
making
sure that that doesn't happen with their current home of the past 40
years. That first survey taken 6 years ago totaled about 500
pictures.
Now I think that its about time to do another similar survey. I will
include detailed pictures of the neighborhood also.

This is something that I would never even have thought about doing
with
a film camera! Too expensive!

This is a very good think to do, I have done this for a number of
houses to different extents. It is amazing how something that you
can't imaging wanting or needing a photograph of can become important
to you in twenty or thirty years.

As I have looked through my photo collections I have never wished that
I had taken less photos, only more.
I now take about 20,000 photos a year, and probably am not taking as
many as will have wish twenty years from now. I have digital photos
from 5 years back that are nothing but a street corner, near where we
lived, but it is great fun to look at how much things have changed on
that corner.

I never have been able to deal with a neckstrap. For one thing, it
makes me feel hot all the time, and for another, I can't imagine hanging
a camera around my neck so that any time I bend forward to look as
something, the lens of the camera slams into whatever is below my
head... That's one reason I won't buy a camera I can't pocket.

Try Lowepro's neoprene strap - very cool (temperature-wise). I wear it
around my neck and one arm. It naturally gets cupped into one hand
while I walk or bend down to do anything.

Checking the results of the latest shots on the LCD. (Especially when
you could, instead, be setting up another shot.)
