If an NPO bids $0.01 for the collection, what sort of tax deduction will that earn? The IRS would beg plenty of attestations about the tangible value, which will be difficult if much of the stuff...

"...backed up by a digital file..." that no one will pay for or want either.

Pin hole cameras are tops! Make your own silver nitrate plates too! Why buy matches? Real men make fires by rubbing sticks, go barefoot, catch wild game with clever nooses, and eat it raw. Yes,...

Labels or GPS coordinates don't necessarily add any value. Most of the artworks photographed have merely conjectural names or numbers anyway. If they don't tell a story, a label won't take its...

What might you charge him to clean-up and dispose the scraps and bins of stuff he wants to be rid of?

T-Rex: DSLR Triceratops: Mirrorless Shrew: Phone Camera The big lizards all thought "It's all about me."  They did not even notice the fuzzy little things that raided the nests and ate the eggs...

Perhaps this is a (less expensive) variation on the plenoptics approach. However, if everything is in focus, it will not yield the narrow DOF "look" that some people crave. Of course, narrow DOF is...

A Photophobe dislikes pictures, but above all loathes and detests having pictures taken, or to put up with the inscrutable urge of a camera bug to snap hundreds of pictures, even though common...

The OP, perhaps wisely, will use his phone camera for now. However, the Olympus lenses don't have in-lens stabilization necessary for the Panasonic series.  A GH3 is also expensive, a bit big, and...

Photographic forum: temple of gear-worshippers and image idolators, born in dark-rooms and aging on hard drives. Zealots of the ritual of pixel-peeping. Vanity of vanities: all that they worship...

Newspapers are losing money. Your solution is that they should pay more for things that obviously contribute little to revenues and can be obtained at lower cost by other means. To do the same...

This may be a useful cross-reference to the review of the Canon: http://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/Panasonic-HC-X929--WLAN---Aus-dem-Messlabor---Fazit.html#Fazit I presume the X929 is PAL and the...

The review says that the HF G30's only two ND settings are "Auto" or "Off."  MIght the  XA20/25 have the same limitation?

Laman obviously had to spend huge amounts of time in hot, uncomfortable roosts, salved with DEET, but still swatting ants, gnats, and mosquitoes.  The birds also tend to appear when light is not...

The main difference between them is the use to which they might be a good or bad choice, which is a function of the type of project or need.  Generally, a good camcorder will have efficient and...

A true void was in store for the Sun Times had it done nothing. People weren't buying it for an occasional Pulitzer shot, anyway.

Cheaper solution: tell the remaining staff to use iphones to submit text and photos, and be quick about it, or soon they'll be freelancers too.

Canon and Nikon have withstood financial ruin over these recent years.  But profits have ailed, and if a lower yen gives them a windfall, they aren't likely to dash the benefit to profits by...

Often there is talk about a "broadcast grade" video, and there are various networks or trade associations that prescribe certain minimum bitrates or codec specifications. It's almost as though the...
