Freedom - Digital photography has freed me from worrying about finding the correct exposure while photographing something as intense as a New York sunset. NICOLE BENGIVENO



Instant - I took this picture at the Landmark Tavern in Manhattan, intentionally creating a ghostlike effect to hark back to the tale of a Confederate soldier who was supposedly shot and killed at the very spot. Had I shot this with film, it would have been mostly guesswork. LIBRADO ROMERO



Gratifying - I used a digital camera to take this photo of Pearl Iona Boyce of Orlando, Fla. I have loved digital from the beginning because of the instant gratification. Still, when I have time I use film. MICHELLE V. AGINS



Choices - I took this picture of Hunter Island in the Bronx both ways, ending with the digital version. Today's photographer stands with one foot in the 1800's and the other in the future, straddling a history of great equipment to choose from. SUZANNE DeCHILLO



Less Hassle - Shooting landscapes, like a wooded region of eastern North Carolina, has long been a passion of mine. High-end digital cameras are capable of producing results that rival film. JIM WILSON

Rule #1 of taking good pictures: have a camera

Seeing a perfect shot does you no good if you don't have the camera with you.

Rule #2: take a lot of pictures, and throw away all but the best.

An amateur will shoot a dozen frames and show all of them to everyone. A pro will shoot a hundred frames, and show only a few.

Digital also means that the staff at the photo development place can't snoop on your pictures.

I love my digital camera. My wife gave it to me for my 40th birthday, and I've taken more pictures in the past year than in the first 40 combined.

How's this for a beginner? I'm using a borrowed Sony F717 5MP camera.

This picture may not stay here for too long. I have no idea how long or how many times uploaded photos can be accessed on uploadyourimages.com

OK. Ok. After years of using my trusty Nikon FA and my Tamron wide angle, it's time to invest in digital. Any recommendations?

3. Ignore digital zoom.

Better yet, DISABLE digital zoom, so it can't be used even accidentally.

The headline made me think this was a critique on Hollywood.

Thanks!
Here's a pic of my cat.

I got his camera at walmart for $5.

Since we are having fun with our favorite images, here's one from Costa Rica earlier this year:

This was shot with a Kodak 6.1MP camera that I bought for the trip. I waited about 20 minutes for this shot - I'm not completely happy with it, but it'll have to do.

Evidently, I like to take pics in winter!

[jeffsg4mac]

Odesy, your pics are great. Here is another one from the Rebel. This is the road going to my house right after the snow melted.

What I love about digital is how easy it can be to get a great exsposure. This had a little fill flash and it came out perfect.

Rule #1: f-stop 7

Very nice.
