I purchased an item called a Trek-Pod. It doubles as a walking staff,
but it can also be used as a monopod, or, get this, a tripod. The lower
part of the Trek Pod has the three legs held together by a velcro strip.
You can unlock the legs by pulling the strip off. The head of the Trek
Pod is
I've been cut-off about three times.

That adapter looks like one that fits into the PC card slot on my old Mac
Powerbook. Don't think it will fit into the *D - too large.

I put two ES II cameras to a new use - stereo photography. I attach both
cameras to a long bracket and place them close together so that the 50 mm
lenses are slightly over two inches apart. I use the hyperfocal method to
focus the cameras, and operate the shutters using a double-cable release.

I recently traveled to Italy. I took along 3 rolls of ISO 100 slide film
(shot mainly digital, but wanted slides, too) that were scanned several
times at certain museums, and, of course at airports. I kept the film in

I bought into a *ist D and got a few 512 CF cards. Looks like Pentax
doesn't care for the *ist D users and the investments they made for that
camera.

I like the Heritage Flights at airshows. I try and pan across and use a
slower shutter speed to blur out the props on an old warbird. There's a
little blur in the Mustang.
