One other point about taking close-up photos. Purchase a copy of Helicon Focus, which was highlighted in a previous issue of the Digital Focus newsletter. An excellent tool for close up photography which solves the problem of limited depth of field. Of course, your subject must truly be stationary, since multiple exposures are required!

I very much enjoy and learn from your articles. I have a question - in this article, you say that photos on CD's may last 50 to 100 yrs. An article in PC World I read previously says that burned CD's last only 3-5 yrs.Which is correct?see http://msn.pcworld.com/article/id,124312-page,1/article.htmlEarl Rust

With a film camera, when you had a very sunny scene (at the beach, in the snow) you would set your exposure brighter or the meter in your camera would turn the white areas light gray. In dark scenes (twilight etc.) you would set your meter darker or else your photo would come out looking like daytime. Your response to Michael from Michigan regarding "EXPOSURE COMPENSATION" points out that with digital picture taking, you have to reverse your thinking. Do you have any tips regarding exposure (or other) for those making the transfer from film to digital?
