What open source photo library/database system can I use to build my website? Seems less of a photo question and more of a software question. |

Can anyone recommend a good open-source photo management platforms for power users? Peformance-wise, I looked at Darktable recently (maybe...2 weeks ago?) and the performance of Windows 7 + LR quite substantially better compared to Ubuntu + Darktable - for me. I'm a heavy Linux user, but I've got Win 7 just for LR. |

What is a good camera for an aspiring young photographer? @mmr - I agree with the points you make in your answer (she would definitely get better pictures and ultimately learn more from a DSLR)... but I'm imho, we're still talking about a 12 year old kid (not a high schooler) that's all my comment was trying to reflect. |

What is a good camera for an aspiring young photographer? In addition, the size of a DSLR, even entry level, can be quite heavy for a 6th grade girl I would imagine. If its too heavy to use constantly, she may tire of the hobby itself quickly. Additionally, the increased "attention" from the unsavory types with DSLRs is even less welcome for that age group. Definitely agree with a versatile P&S. |
