Keep Your Hand Cozy While Shooting Photos

I've never suffered from "Camera Strap Hand" and am not exactly sure that it exists, but I also can't say that my SLR's camera strap is the most comfortable thing I wrap around my hand.

I've never suffered from "Camera Strap Hand" and am not exactly sure that it exists, but I also can't say that my SLR's camera strap is the most comfortable thing I wrap around my hand.

In any case, this Camera Wrist Strap ($17) from Etsy sure does look cozy with its faux-fur lining.

The happy print reminds me of another camera strap I've seen from Etsy, and it also looks way more comfy than a seat belt!

Geek Tip: Remember Optimum Camera Settings For SLRs

Learning to shoot amazing photos on an SLR doesn't come overnight.
by

Learning to shoot amazing photos on an SLR doesn't come overnight. Sometimes all it takes is a lot of experimentation, sometimes someone teaches you, and sometimes you get a great tip.

Have you scored once on shooting photos or a series of photos where the lighting and settings all came together and you got gorgeous results? You can replicate those results, and you don't have to have written anything down or memorized it.

Each of your digital photos will tell you what most of the used settings were — just click Apple + i (or right click and 'Get Info') on the file (that is, if you use iPhoto). Under More Info, the F-stop and shutter speed (on your camera) you used correspond to FNumber and Exposure Time, respectively.

Economy Expected to Make Sales of SLR Cameras Dip

Do You Have an SLR?

No product is recession proof, but it's interesting to know that the economy had not yet affected sales of high-end cameras known as SLRs (which stands for single-reflex lens, FYI).

No product is recession proof, but it's interesting to know that the economy had not yet affected sales of high-end cameras known as SLRs (which stands for single-reflex lens, FYI). Until now, that is — analysts are predicting that SLRs are also about to see an economy-induced drop in sales.

Bad news aside, let's focus on the product at hand — fabulous SLRs. I have a Canon digital SLR, and have always thought of someone's first SLR as a signal of their coming into a serious interest in photography, since you can achieve the kind of quality and artful results you just can't get with any point and shoot camera. And once you convert? You're hooked, and it's new lens and photography tip hunting for you.

So whether it's a vintage film SLR or a modern digital SLR, tell me: do you have an SLR?

Camera Wrist Strap Keeps Your SLR Safe and Close to You

Camera Wrist Strap Keeps Your SLR Safe and Close to You

You won't need my geek tip for wrapping your camera strap around your hand if you get one of these Camera Wrist Straps from Etsy.

You won't need my geek tip for wrapping your camera strap around your hand if you get one of these Camera Wrist Straps from Etsy.

It looks like it gives you less slack in the strap, which would keep it closer and prevent the chance (or paranoia) that your camera will tumble from your grasp, out of the strap, and onto the floor.

The seller Phat Straps makes them in a variety of patterns and only charges $17 (cute, and good for your peace of mind, too).

My hunt for the perfect accessories for my DSLR continues.

My hunt for the perfect accessories for my DSLR continues. The Crumpler bag is cute and sporty, and the ACME Made bag is fun, but they both lack a place for big lenses.

The Shootsac ($180) picks up the slack by providing a safe and attractive place to store your lenses (not to mention memory cards and your cell phone).

Whether you're a professional photographer or professional amateur like myself, you'll appreciate the myriad patterns and colors for the interchangeable covers, which are girlie without being too saccharine, and grown-up without sacrificing the fun.

Pentax Debuts a Winter White SLR

It's beginning to look a lot Christmas in the tech-world, what with the profusion of white gadgets giving way to this, Pentax's White SLR.

The K2000 is going to be limited edition, clearly, and there's no pricing available yet, but CNET notes that the non-white version of this camera is about $800.

The only thing I don't really like is the black detailing, but I think I could live with that just to rock something so unusual. What do you think?
