    Taking photos in almost pitch darkness

    yes, Night photography can be tricky, some people carry a laser pointer, and that seems to work, I use old glass, and also,, a wide angle is very tolerant of focus beyound 10 feet, lock at infinity and go. I personally like around ISO 800 for night, keeping my exposures betweeen 20-40...

    Brain freeze- Snaphappy playing & learning

    I recommend people taking Moon shots just for the practice of good camera control, ISO variation, Fstop, speed, etc, Usually, no moon shot is going to be framable with an DSLR (versus a telescope set up) but, for your own fun, nice challenges. I find that just around dusk is the best time to...

    DX Wide angle zooms

    I think I would word this as correctable distortion and non correctable,, don't think there are too many cases where I would cause distortion good...there are some casese where one uses distortion as part of the intent... like this shot with my 8mm Fisheye.

    DX Wide angle zooms

    some people love wideangle,, and others shy away.. you can really move in on a subject, and for non landscapes, sometimes it becomes a bit too much camera in face,, hence the use as mostly a landscape lens, let me see if I can dig out a shot using a wideangle... Here it was handy,,, at 15mm...
