The Field of Digital Photography

Tracy Hargraves writes, "For years, photography aficionados have attempted to rebuff the ever growing influx of the digital age. Even today, many who consider themselves true photographers prefer manual cameras with traditional film.

Choosing a Tripod for Nature Photography

Sam Zaydel writes, "First, let's quickly examine what a tripod will do for us. First and foremost, it supports our camera, attached lens, and some of the other gear, like a flash unit, etc. It helps us position our camera at an odd angle at times.

There is not a tripod out there that is better with all subject matter."          More
