A case example. A couple of weeks ago a huge rain storm blew through town. I went down to the river where some fishermen were practicing fly casting and the late afternoon sun was casting a golden glow with white towering cumulus as the background. I had some ideas for pictures and started shooting away. My Nikon D50 is a couple years old now and falling further behind in technology. As I was changing locations to get some wide angle shots from the bank, a conversation with a hobbiest photographer ensued for about 10 min. He had around his neck a new Nikon D300 and a nice lens to match. A camera I should have taken from him and shot what I was seeing. I shot a memory card full of RAW files, while he just watched me from afar. I doubt he even had an idea what I was seeing let alone taking pictures. What is with that? Why own it if you don't use it! #14, is dead on. A case example. A couple of weeks ago a huge rain storm blew through town.

I've printed a 'cheat sheet' that I keep in my camera bag for inspiration. Number 17 especially hit home. I was a late adopter and 'went digital' a little less than 2 years ago. Six months ago I was on an assignment and thought a film look would be cool so I brought along some Velvia. Long story short, I loaded the film, popped a frame and you guessed it - chimped the shot! Worse yet, there was this brief moment of panic, like, did I get the shot? In the film days, I wouldn't get my slides back for a week after a trip but still had a pretty good idea which shots I'd nailed before I saw the final product. I love having the LCD and the ability to see what I'm getting as I go along but the shot is in front of the lens not on the back of the camera. Thanks for that reminder (and the tips). Syl,

There is no doubt that the digital era made life so much easier for photographers. The Internet has helped too. One thing I know do is always print my photos using some online services. They are cheap and fast. If you have not done it before check out this place http://www.printrates.com for a list of good ones. I still have a photo printer at home but only use it when I need a print super fast. I am an amateur photographer. There is no doubt that the digital era made life so much easier for photographers.
