Thank you for the thread.

I have printed a copy and it is in my Lowepro Mini Trekker AWII for reference in the field.

Cheers,

There's some good handy tips in there... Good stuff for those like me who struggle with some of these details... Thanks for the link Birddog.

Did you notice the D70 was awarded as "Camera Of The Year 2004" by the editors of the site (popularphotography)...

Interesting snippet from the article:
The question for '04 was how quickly a camera maker would seize on this revolutionary fervor, and add some sophistication, features, fine-tuning, and, well, "maturity" to what the D Rebel had wrought…without pushing the price to a pro-caliber level.


Cheers,
Mudder

Ditto,

Thanks for this little list of golden rules. I knew a couple off by heart but much of this is new and most makes sense. I've printed them off too and have in the cam. bag for when I blow my cool on some exposure difficulty.

Thanks for the link Birddog. It's a good reminder to all.
I thought I might create another, well maybe a part b for number 1. John Shaw refers to it as the 'Sunny F/22 rule'. Works the same as f/16 but, and I quote:
" When you are working in bright sunlight, photographing white subjects (i.e egrets, swans etc , he uses a Rocky mountain goat) that fills a good part of the frame, the sunny f/16 rule does not work. Highlights and details on the white surface become washed out...." Helped me out a few times.
cheers
