Trying to make money from your photography is a very long shot. The market is so saturated with quality pictures with extremely high availability and extremely low prices that getting a foothold is close to impossible.

The dust problem is one of my main “vastly exaggerated problems” with DSLR's. Judging from the sometimes endlessly raging online debates, many camera owners do nothing but shoot white walls at f22 in the pursuit of dust.

No, it's not like I shoot film. I did go 100% digital the moment I acquired my first DSLR. But my photographic upbringing was in film, and that still marks my way of thinking and shooting.

I have recently started using my D200 and the SB-800 flash without cable like I used to do with my Minolta 7D and the HS5600. It's great!
I am sure I will keep on taking great pictures with my D200 in spite of Nikon's recent announcement of a D300 and a D3.

B/W images can be stunning, and converting color images to B/W can produce some surprisingly good results — provided you do it the right way.

Frames per second or FPS can sell cameras. This seems pretty crazy to me. The average Joe does not need 5 or 8 FPS...

Should you shoot in RAW- or JPG-format? Or TIFF? Or something completely different?

Scanning slides was once the primary way of getting images into computers. I used — and still use — my trusty Nikon CoolScan LS-2000 for the job.

When you start shooting digital, you may also start shooting dozens of thousands of images, and it's easy to be tempted to clean out once in a while. Don't!

Why Minolta's way of using the large display on the backside of their DSLR's is such a brillant idea
