Never Ever Lose Your Lens Cap Again | DIYPhotography.net

Where do you put the lens cap when you are shooting? (My answer at the end of the post, if you care).

I put it in my front right pocket. I’m afraid if I put it in my back pocket my fat ass will break it!

Keeping Your Camera Functioning in Arctic and Sub-Zero Temperatures – PictureCorrect

Most SLRs cope remarkably well with freezing temperatures. I’ve had no problem using Canon EOS SLR cameras below zero for weeks on end, often down to -20°C and in extreme down to -30°C. This article is for those trying to keep such a camera going under expedition conditions, such as an icecap crossing or mountaineering expedition in the arctic: ie no power sockets, adverse weather, sleeping in tents on the ice and for a period of weeks. However much of the advice also applies to using a camera in cold conditions generally.

This is a great price. Adorama offers excellent quality prints, now, for a limited time, at a substantially-reduced price. Note that Costco, whose quality is not that good, prints 8x10s at $1.49. THIS IS A STEAL.

16X20s start at $4.95, too! (Costco — $9.99.)

The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography

billspaced — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 14:10:00 +0000

Here’s a great article on the ten legal things you need to know when taking photos. We’ve all heard the stories about the photographer taking pictures of a government building, a bridge, or a railway, only to be confronted by law enforcement and then getting his film or memory swiped.

So, here’s the basic deal: If on public land, most things are fair game. If on private property, the property owner dictates what you can and cannot do.

Law enforcement, in general, cannot take your equipment without a court order. Caveat: I bet the FBI and other DHS-types have pre-made court orders that fit the circumstances already made up. So, beware.

The best advice: Be quick and do everything above board.
