Digital Don. Thank you for your reply. If I ever get to Alaska again, I will pursue your recommendation.

OK. Probably a question already answered or super easy to do but... All this talk of resizing images for web publication, how, exactly is it done? Particularly in Elements, but also in general. You shoot with a 8, or 18mp camera,transfer to your hard drive, edit, crop or whatever you choose. Then save it. You're saving it in it's original file size. That's done. Now to re-size. Go to "Save as"... Then what? Thanks
In PS Elements, don't go to "Save As", go to "Image-Resize-Image Size" and resize the photo as you wish. Other editing programs usually have a "Resize" button or resize menu item somewhere. For example, in Photoscape (free software) the resize button is on the bottom of the screen after you open a photo. Hope that helps.

Great shots. Thanks for sharing. I've been thinking about taking a grizzly bear photo trip. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

How do you add your copyright to your metadata? What program do you use? Can you do this to a batch of photos, or do you have to add it to each photo individually?

Great shots. We visited the Okanagan valley a few years ago. Good area for fruit and wine.

My first reaction-I like it. It looks like a piece of art.

Just a clarification here. I firmly believe that external drives should be used for backup purposes, not routine storage and frequent access. It will take you longer to access photos on an external drive than if they are stored on the hard drive on the PC. That being said, make sure the hard drive is big enough when you buy your computer.
Secondly, photos are stored in memory only when they are being viewed or edited. Storing photos on your hard drive on the computer does not slow down the computer.

Good recommendation Esther. Simple and straight forward. I have been using a method similar to this for many years and it has worked fine.
It think it is important for everyone to realize that all files (photos) on a PC are stored in folders. Organizational programs merely access these files and create an index or library of the photos. So while sometimes these programs are helpful, they also create extra overhead on your computer that requires extra processing and may lead to storage confusion.

Here is a nice little trip for someone who wants to take photos in Africa and travel with well-know National Geographic photographer, Joel Sartore. It is a 20-day fully escorted luxury safari journey to Ethiopia, Congo, and Tanzania. The cost is only $59,990 per person. Click on the link below for the details.

National Geographic is showing a collection of 175 images in ten museums across America from 125 years of photography. If this exhibit is appearing near you, this is definitely worth seeing. Click on the link for more details and the locations.

Can anyone recommend a camera for a 5 year old?
I got my 3yr old granddaughter a $40 camera from Walmart. I think it was a Vivitar, but I am not sure. It takes stills and video, and the quality is not that great, but that's OK. She likes to look at the photo right after it is taken on the LCD screen. If she is still interested when she is 7 or 8 years old, I will get her something more serious.

Good afternoon - I am now ready to start investigating photo editing software. Before I bite the bullet and buy, then I would like to download some of the free versions, but there is a bewildering array. Does anyone have any suggestions of free ones that I could try before I buy. Thank you
Free Photo Editing Software? I recommend Picasa, Photoscape, Shutterfly, and Microsoft Office Picture Manager (all downloadable programs). You may already have MS Picture Manager if you have Microsoft Office installed on your computer. I use MS Picture Manager for 90% of my editing.

Wow...VERY nice...macro is one of my favorite things to do and incorporate using it into my hiking quite a bit...so this sounds good. Did you use a tripod for these? I do always bring a mini pod but seldom use it!
Did not use a tripod or monopod. Acutually, my wife took the photo of the whale on a trip out of Gloucester, Mass. And she is not really a camera enthusiast. It is a pretty good overall camera with lots of flexibility-fairly wide angle and pretty good zoom. I purchased it because of the reviews related to photo quality. We have not been disappointed.

I was actually thinking of getting the Lumix FZ150 instead of the newer one...reviews seem really good and it is smaller and lighter, helpful for me as I am a hiker...anyone love this camera?
I own the Panasonic Lumix FZ150 and very pleased with it. Here are some sample photos.
