I'm a student of CS/part time-developer and hobby-photographer since I was 8 or 9 and my dad gave me a 6x6-box (120-film) and shortly afterwards a Lomo (that was before it became ... infamous) plus complete works for BW-development.
I try to not care too much about the technical aspects of photography, being a geek, and learn more about taking great photos.
I face post-processing with a kind of mixed feelings, as I experienced early that it can't save a bad picture. Nevertheless Hugin is one of my pets up to the extent that I built it by myself several times on Windows, although slowly the fun of panorama- and semi-HDR-stitches fades.

What's the best lens for shooting baby and kids with a DX Nikon? I second the Tamron 17-50mm. Had a very good first year with my kid and others (baby swimming) with it indoors. |

Which postcard mailing services are the best? Only as another model: we do it the manual way. There is a fast-printing service/machines in nearly every modern city or vacation spot. We just print the pictures we selected, add a stamp and some personalized scribbles and send the newly-made postcards on their way ... (some places like the Canary Islands only offer 24h-service though ;) ). |

What free software exists for geotagging photos? @Conor Boyd: No, it does not, that is true. That is also why Cygwin/Perl are not mentioned in the requirements in the brackets for Geosetter ;) |

Why does fungus form in lenses, and how to get rid of it? Maybe helpful: What are the best methods for cleaning really dirty lens elements? |

What free software exists for geotagging photos? Yes, I'm using both worlds. Never could get away from Visual Studio and games but I prefer a nice xterm for stringing (for example exiftool-)commands together. So ... there is CygWin for me :) |

Is it acceptable in professional photography to accept a meal from the client during a paid event? Anecdotal (Germany): our professional wedding photographer was hired for another wedding we attended and was seated among the guests during speech/meal/coffee. We chatted nicely and he glided away whenever he was needed. I think it was better than him lingering around like a ghost :) |

How safe is CHDK? @ysap Admittedly, damaging a shutter with long exposure seems to be difficult. I'd replace: s/shutter/shutter or sensor/g. (BTW: not all compacts have an electronic shutter only, my Canon A610 has a mechanical shutter (too?).) |

How safe is CHDK? Examples: You can specify extreme short/long exposures that can damage the shutter. You also can specify apertures excluded by original firmware that can damage the camera. Summary: Just apply common sense before you use CHDK ;) |
