Your Next Tips and Tricks
In the next couple of weeks, it will be time to do another installment of Tips and Tricks. I always like to cover topics that are timely and will appeal to the largest audience possible. I have come up with three possible topics that I could cover this month. Whether you comment or not, could you please cast your vote and let me know what you would like to see covered here.
1. This is a topic that was brought up by a reader here, and deals with using the LCD on your digital camera in bright sun. I'll discuss some things that can be done to help you make use of your screen on those bright days.
2. Here is another topic that was suggested by a reader looking into the purchase of a new camera. This is the marketing term, Frames Per Second, or FPS. I will share a bit about what it is, and whether or not it is of use to you as a marketing tool.
3. Here is a topic that I have kind of come up with based on several inquiries in the past. Here I will discuss the nomenclature of different SLR camera lenses, and what all those numbers and letter actually mean. I will cover what the different lenses do well, and not so well. This will not be a buying guide, but will hopefully make you a better, more informed shopper when going after that new glass.
4. The last option is a write-in option. I would like to get some more ideas for things that I can cover in the future, or possibly this month. Whether its a basic question, or one more complex. If I feel comfortable talking about it, the suggestion will be entertained.

I chose #3 for this pick anyway today. The other subjects are of interest to me as well.For the future I would like if possible to have you discuss what you think of when you are standing in front of something that you want to photograph. I mean what if any advice you could give on settings for different times of a day or night.What you think makes an interesting photo. Well can ya just "fax" your brain to us somehow? hahaha

I'd love to read anything you decide to share. I still haven't looked into getting my camera fixed. It works fine as long as I have it set on close up and using it strictly for very close shots - I know, not good enough but I don't want to be without a camera long enough to try to get it fixed - or probably replaced which I can't afford to do right now. My new interest - close up photography! Somethimes we have to work with what we've got! Martha :-)
