Hi Aahz - That's certainly a consideration. I think the main thing is for each person to try different options and see what works best in their own circumstances. gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 8:01 PM, Aahz Maruch

Hi Christine Photography for Moms could be the title of the Saturday morning class I teach at the community college. They called it Taking Better Photos with your Digital Camera. But 98% of the people that sign up are moms. There are one or two guys in about half of the class sessions, but they

Hi Frank - The recitals do go on and on. This one was very well organized and there were only a few seconds between groups of dancers. As one group danced off to stage left, the next was dancing on from stage right. She really kept things moving. Even so, It started at noon and I had to leave

Was it at least a Pentax PS? :-) Did you happen to notice what the pros were using? Enjoyed the blather, George. You might warn about getting too obsessed with this kind of photography. That can lead to gear expenditures on par with birding. On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 9:57 AM, George Sinos

No such luck on the Pentax PS. I went through four Optio series cameras. All wore out due to small broken parts except the OptioMX and they are too cheap to fix. Or should I say it's too expensive to fix them. The optioMX is cool in an odd sort of way, but the image quality, good for it's day,

I like the photo, and the blather! It is reminiscent of the blather I employ in my Photography for Moms classes. Getting those recital photos -- and hockey game photos - are the most challenging if you're in Auto. My own daughter's recital was just a few weeks ago, maybe I'll share a pic or two
