  • MPix are good, like I said. Not sure how they compare with others on price. Shutterfly have been good for me too - there's an option to switch off their auto color correction if you're happy with your adjustments (and trust your calibrated monitor) which can be handy.

• Clinton: Is It Panic Time Yet?

  • I know the Michigan/Florida issue is thorny, but surely there's some natural justice that argues you can't count delegates from a state where your opponent got himself taken off the ballot because you all agreed the votes there wouldn't count. Seems a little desperate, no?

• MacBook Air for the photographer?

  Tue Jan 15, 2008
  • Yep, as a desktop replacement, the MBP pretty much has all the angles covered, and it's thin enough for me too. I can imagine some situations when an Air would work just as well, but plenty of others when it wouldn't.

  Tue Jan 8, 2008
  • Um, I think I'm a Level 5 - Amateur. I make a tiny amount of money from my pictures, but I love doing it. If I had more time, I'd shoot more, not read more technical articles. I don't need any more gear. And I use a Canon SLR.

  • Have fun with the new camera - the one thing that made the single biggest improvement in my shooting (and works with most point and shoot digital cameras too) is to learn how to adjust the ISO setting manually.

• Photography Goals for 2008

  • Thanks for the book suggestions - I'm adding them to my list. And best of luck with the G9 - I've been wondering (greedily) if I need a smaller camera to add to my arsenal.
