Comment on Setting Up Your Camera by David

Hi Stan,
Most DSLR cameras give you the option to pick how many auto focus sensors (cross hairs) you want. Nikon gives you the option of 11, 21 or 55 auto focus points. I think Canon has something similar. I like fewer points. On your Rebel you may not have these choices. I don’t know that camera that well. Check out your menu under autofucus and see if you can select the number of autofocus points you will see in your viewfinder.

[...] My friend David Middleton, who used to shoot strictly nature and things like harbors (no people), has more recently been stretching himself into people photography. He’s blogged about it. It’s a pretty good read. [...]

David,
Good article on camera setup and one that I am learning from. I have been using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi and have not mastered all its complexities yet. In step 5, can you please explain ’11 autofocus points ..’ a bit more?

Dear David,

My guess is that, for years, you have touched people with your images and through your writing. You have inspired and mentored with your teaching. Give yourself credit! Now you are discovering new ways to reach out and touch those you care for, in a very real and meaningful way. Congratulations for that. John was right…keep reaching out.

Last year I sat in that same hospital chair. I Held my father’s hand for the first time in decades. We talked and laughed and cried…it was a tough time. One I will never forget. I hope it helped my Dad in his last days. I know it helped me. I can still feel his hand in mine and I’m so thankful for the countless ways he touched my life.

Best wishes to you and those you care for…

Darin

Not only yeah, but HELL YEAH! I really can’t remember the last time I took a shooting trip just for the fun of it without it being for a workshop or a book project or to get a picture somebody else needed.

Sorry everyone, I made a mistake on the name of the scanning company- it is the ScanCafe as everyone has pointed out to me.

David – i searched for Slide Cafe, but could not find a link. I did find a place called Scan Cafe – is that the same place? I am looking for a place to scan old slides like you did.

Getting rid of old slides is just one of the things on my winter to-do list. The one I’ve had going since last century….
I figure that if I can get rid of about half my slides that will leave room for more wine

I don’t know about plugins to protect against hackers. I would suggest you ask Scott Rouse at the Lightroom Lab website. (www.thelightroomlab.com)
