Digital Photography News,
Views and Reviews
It
seems everyone has an opinion, and everyone has a web site, and the
merging of these has allowed all of us the unprecedented ability to
share information and opinions. Countless times, when I've been
stumped over a computer problem, or researching equipment purchases,
I've come across information posted by someone "out there"
which has been of tremendous assistance. This page, and those
linked to it, is my chance to share some of the things I've learned in
the hopes that the information will save you some headaches, or explain
something that has stumped you. Enjoy!

The Beginner's Guide To Wildlife Photography
I didn't write this article, but it is a helpful one. The link was sent
to me by Ms. Shubert's class at a youth center in Toronto. Two students

thought my readers might find it useful, too. Thanks, girls!

To Write Photoshop Actions
