comment Why don't most cameras store filenames based on date and time?
The Brand Olympus has a simple system: it usually starts its names with a 'P' or '_'(don't remember what means but it's related to colorspace), then a digit for the month: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C, two digits for the day and four other digits for correlative. Thus, file PC083651 was shot on December 8th. It is indeed VERY useful and at least I have never had a problem. It's only odd if you shot during Dec 31 midnight, because "older" file suddenly gets on top of the alphabetically ordered list. Maybe they have a patent and it keeps the rest from doing it.

comment Program to remove thin strip from inner part of image
This particular task is actually performable even in Windows' Paint. It has selection and move tools.

comment How do I fix a dog's wrong colored eyes in flash photos?
Giving a twist to your idea: A flashgun that has slave mode (the kind that "detects" the firing of any other flash) can be triggered without a transmitter, you just have to use a small cardboard or small mirror to redirect camera's flash towards the flashgun. This trick is extremely helpful if your camera does not have a hotshoe, like a P&S for example.

comment How do I fix a dog's wrong colored eyes in flash photos?
It doesn't work because of the logic of the feature. In Humans it works because camera's beam or pre-flash causes our natural reflexes to contract the pupil, hence reducing the efect of flash reflection. Animals have different sensitivities to light and different pupil sizes/shapes. A camera's red eye reduction may not be strong enough to stimulate an animal's pupil contraction reflex. I have seen that cats are barely anoyed at night if I suddenly turn on a car's headlamp in front of them, they can easily stare at it, while I can't, until afer a while...

comment Is it possible to obtain portraits free of charge in exchange for letting the photograper use the photos for his/her book?
Interesting concept. A short explanation on this site plus the reference to the external source would have made such a better answer.

Even though the question as it is now is a bit difficult to read and understand properly, It has led me to a concept I did not now before, so I think it is a good question in that aspect. The downvoters should have stated why they didn't like the question. Agreed the question needs to be edited.

Are you sure the only thing moving in your pictures is the fog? What do you want to achieve? droplet trails?

comment Why does my memory only sometimes show my images?
AS you mention an iPad: IOS and its relatives have a funny way of deleting files, they are not deleted but moved to a "hidden" directory, but other devices just recognize those as valid files, so they don't display the expected free space. If you have a windows computer, configure it to show hidden files and you'll be able to see all the card's contents. Make a safe copy and then format the card either on that computer or in your camera. Every time you "empty" your card with mac's software, format it in your camera.

comment How can I make my own film scanner using a DSLR camera?
I have tried some of these. Computer monitor is bad idea if you put the film too close to the screen, pixels will show up, and at macro setigns, they are pretty big. Flash on the other hand, can be WAY too bright if used directly. For both you'll need light modifiers (difusers or reducers, depending wich one you use)
