1. [OT] BlueRidge Mountains Pictures
Hello all,
I went to the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday and snapped a few
digital images that I thought I'd share w/y'all.
If anyone knows how to clean these photo's up I would like
to know how..
Enjoy them here:

Nice, but yesterday must have been unusually hazy, or perhaps
digital cameras are more sensitive to UV light than film types.
You could use a UV filter, maybe, to reduce the bluish cast.
Not much you can do after the fact, however.

Yes, hazy and mostly cloudy besides we were in the clouds a lot of the
time. Do they make UV filters for digital camera's? Never thought about
that..
Thanks Irv

It depends. There are probably no UV filters for cameras that cost $40
or so (whether they are digital or not). But do you really think say
for expensive Nikon or Leica cameras there are no UV filters (whether
they are digital or not)? The lenses are not digital anyway.

That is difficult to answer, because it's an individual decision.
It depends on what you want to do with the camera. Do you want a small
camera, that you can easily carry with you in your pocket? Do you want a
camera with high quality, big lenses? Do you also want to make little
movies with the camera? How much MegaByte should the memory card have?
What kind of memory card do you prefer, do you want to be able to use
the card in both your camera and you PDA?
Regarding so called "digital zoom": That's nothing than a marketing
trick. Switch it off in your camera, and forget about it.
If you actually need a "digital zoom", then do so afterwards on your PC
with appropriate software, this will result in better quality than the
"digital zoom" in the cameras.
Here in Germany, there is the "Stiftung Warentest", that could be
translated to something like "Foundation for testing consumers products".
They are completely independent, and they test anything and everything.
Their test results range from 1 ("very good") to 5 ("insufficient").
In 2004, they have tested more than 60 digital cameras (from cheap to
expensive). The last time I downloded the test results, there were only
5 cameras rated "very good", which were:
- Olympus E-1 + Zuiko Digital 14-54 mm (about 2000 EUR)
- Olympus Camedia 8080 Wide Zoom (about 950 EUR)
- Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-F828 !! 
(about 1000 EUR)
- Nikon Coolpix 8700 (about 1100 EUR)
- Olympus Camedia 5060 Wide Zoom (about 700 EUR)
Of course, they had not tested all cameras that are available in Germany,
and in other countries, there might be even other models available.

Juergen

I just found this picture...where was this taken, by the way? I live just
minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (just curious)
