One of top-gifts the Christmas-2007 was several units from same group: the DSLRs. I mean, you know why. In this year prices for entry-level DSLRs cross a border of $500  (downsides) and this fact extends a number of happy DSLR-novices.

A big advantage of using a SLR or DSLR camera is the ability to swap lenses to fit the job.

Almost as sure as a fate a DSLR-newcomer understands them he needs something else then standard 18-55 mm lens from a kit. Some wants “faster” lenses, some needs more sharpness, etc. 

It is not a secret, lens’ quality vary in different samples. Canon and Nikon (together with third-party manufacturers like Sigma or Tamron) are now making cheaper lenses available. This is good news because you can now buy these lenses at a lower price. The bad news is these cheaper lenses generally have a poorer build. They made from plastic to reduce their weight and price, but lost some part of quality. For most of amateurs such quality is enough good, but what to do when you want move up to [almost] professional grade?

Published in : Articles, Photo: Theory and Practice

Compared to portrait photography, shooting landscapes seems like a bit of relaxation. You don’t have to worry about red-eyes, as you do when photographing your mother-in-law. When you are capturing a mountains, you don’t have to beg the rocks “to stop fighting and sit still for just five minutes”.

 If you like travelling and taking trips, it means you’ll collect a large number of pictures from all the places you’ve visited in your photo archives. How often are you  disappointed with your shots? I think, regularly enough.

Published in : Articles, Photo: Theory and Practice
To the beginning: digital camera in comparision with a film camera has own bugs and own features. Not all of the old rules do apply. Disinformation (as a rule coming from camera manufacturers) have caused unexperienced users to buy inappropriate cameras. And there are plenty of bad habits already forming by users of this relatively young technology.

Yes, this is one of „holy wars” in the world of hi-tech. Windows users claim that Mac users are haughty, citing that old "computer for the rest of us" advertising while Mac users claim the same about Windows users. Who really right?
