Digital Photography Tips for Bad Weather

When dark clouds roll into the sky most photographers run for shelter, but the ones who stay out and brave the weather can sometimes capture the most amazing photos.

Bad weather should be looked at as an opportunity by photographers instead of as a nuisance that is avoided.          Full Article

Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd Review at Digital Camera Info

Digital Camera Info wrote a review of the Fujifilm Finepix S6000fd and said: "Sure, the Sony is a bit overpriced but the Fujifilm may be slightly underpriced too.

At a time when the prices of low-end DSLRs are falling to $599 or so, the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd is still a good price because it already has a lens."
