Photographer, tech head, and extreme sport enthusiast.
I'm an amateur who likes to shoot everything from portraits to landscapes. My favorite venues are half way up a 14k mountain, Ontario in Fall, and the Mediterranean at sunset.
I love talking technology, new equipment, and Canon lenses.

Which camera is best for video and photography on low budget? @JohnCavan - I have heard that before, but we provide equipment recommendations everyday. Did the community decide something recently that prevents us from answering these? |

Can Lightroom and Photoshop Elements share catalog info? I agree, it doesn't share. But it does allow for a one way import into Lightroom. It makes sense really, most users naturally progress from Elements to Lightroom as they become more sophisticated. With the introduction of some of the tagging and detection software in Elements though, it does make sense to use it for some things. |

Can Lightroom and Photoshop Elements share catalog info? Welcome to the Photography Stack Exchange! Many of us here manage catalogs many times the size of your Lightroom catalog without issues. Are you experiencing any issue in particular with the large size or do you just like Elements better? |

Can Lightroom and Photoshop Elements share catalog info? Lightroom 3 can import Elements 6 or higher catalogs as described here: help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/… |

How to take self portraits without a remote? I did not know that some Canons have that feature. I've owned dozens of Canon point and shoots, never knew that. |

What camera is very similar to the Canon G11/G12, but with greater optical zoom and shooting speed? @Joe - Welcome to stack exchange! Great question, I'm sure others will benefit from the answers. One point to note is that photography is really about compromises, especially when you are concerned with cost. Having the biggest zoom, fastest speed, light, easy, and for $500 is what we would all love to have, but that is why the pros spend thousands upon thousands of dollars - it is expensive, technical, and big! |

How to carry film through airports? I don't think film use is common practice anymore, so I can't imagine it is common to hand inspect film either ;) |

Which camera is more suitable for portrait taking between Canon 7D and 60d ? Not for portraits in particular, but as Itai suggested - it has many benefits generally. |

What Canon lenses do you suggest for wedding photography on a tight budget? The main problem here, is that wedding photography REQUIRES some of the most expensive equipment available to get results that the industry requires. The barriers to entry of this type of photography are higher then many other types. I would rent/steal till you get the funds necessary to jump all the way into wedding photography - and spend the big bucks! |

Is the Canon 28mm f/2.8 sharp and good compared to the 18-55mm kit lens? The 28mm f/2.8 was released in 1987. Its as old as the entire EOS system. Your assumption that every prime is better then every kit lens is flawed. This lens does not compare to many of the higher end kit lenses out today. |

Are mirror-less cameras good enough to buy instead of a DSLR for home/amateur use? Quite a few question here. Lets stick to answering "what downsides do mirrorless cameras have as compared to single lens reflex cameras?" |

Could you recommend an under-$30 tripod for a DSLR? I'm not suggesting using a fishing line as a camera strap. A $30 basic tripod from Best Buy isn't going to just tumble over with a basic DSLR and a kit lens, even in minor wind. If you are really concerned about that, lower the legs and center column a bit. As I said, you must understand the limitations and worth within them! |

Could you recommend an under-$30 tripod for a DSLR? @ysap - BOOM! Exactly my point! I also think $30 is a bargain for any hobby accessory, easy to impulse buy, and will open up a world of new opportunities for any amateur photography! |

Could you recommend an under-$30 tripod for a DSLR? I really think the user is asking "WOULD you recommend a sub $30 tripod", not COULD you. I know that is what he wrote in the title, but the details really don't support that. I am probably off on this, as others have voted you up on this answer, but I thought I would note. |

What is CLA service? It sounds like you have a few extra Leica rangefinders laying around, could you send me one? :) |

What is CLA service? I don't know about usually used for Leica bodies. I have noticed it mentioned in nearly every used rangefinder I've ever seen. |

Which noise reduction software has the best results? Agreed, I used to be a die hard Noise Ninja user, but Lightroom 3 takes care of all but the most noisy images. If you really want to get serious about some of the details, Noise Ninja is still great though. |
