Behind the lens: Archiving old slides for the present day? Let’s get digital
Thanks Ron. I meant to say "to above" $2,000. I have a Nikon 9000 scanner, but when I bought it it was only around $2,000. Didn't know Nikon had inflated them to that high of a price. The problem for me was I couldn't fit the 127 medium format, mounted slides in the scanners film holders and I didn't want to remove the film from the mount. It does allow 2 1/4" film strips, which is great.

With any local photo printing service etc. you need to ask what the output resolution their scans will have. Most of these places will do scans fairly inexpensively put they are not large, or high resolution. I suspect that the Walgreen scans are or about an 1800x1200pixels at 300 pixels per inch. This is comparable to a 6x4-inch print, which is what they assume most people want from their photographs. It's always good to know exactly what the output of the scanned file will be, since this relates directly to how large you can make a print.

Walk like a zombie
I've added some more pics. Part of the problem is I'm often spending a certain period of time with one subject to get the best shot and then also to get their name and info. It can make it harder to get dozens of good shots. Plus, after you've seen one dead zombie, you've pretty much seen them all, right?

U.S. Bank alarm malfunctions
Fellow Packer Band member Matt Kirby threw a blanket over it at around 2:45 p.m. which quieted it a little. Then about halfway through the Alferd Packer Band set, around 3:30, it was finally silenced - 6 hours later.

Behind the Lens: Camera specs for low-light success
That's a really tough one. Considering that you need a pretty long telephoto lens for any sports, the camera would require a lens that maintains a large aperture throughout the zoom range. This would enable you to maintain resolution quality and fast shutter-speed. Most P&S zooms don't have large apertures at the telephoto end and that is the crux of the problem. If you can get close to the action, and I'm not sure what sports you are talking about. something like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 could work. It has a very larger aperture at the wide-angle (f1.8) and even a pretty large one at 50mm (f2.8) but beyond that the aperture starts to get smaller and you'll lose too much light. Something like basketball might be possible if you are sitting or standing at the end or court etc. A slightly more expensive point-and-shoot that could work well would be the new FujiX10. It has a lens that is wide-angle -telephoto (28-112mm). The aperture is very large at the wide-angle end (f2.0) and also really large at the telephoto end (f2.8) This would certainly help with some indoor sports coverage but again, it depends on what sports and the amount of light. The FujiX10 is more expensive than other P&S cameras, but in addition to the very fast, low-light capable lens, it has an optical viewfinder and a larger sensor than most P&S. I'll keep my eye out for others that could work.

Behind the Lens: Vertical photos endangered, but still ideal for certain shots
No, this was't suppose to be an example of that point. But this is a great, but unfortunate example, of how online display spaces and templates favor horizontal images. If we could import that image of the women and quilt in that set display box and run it at 100%, then you'd see how small it would be and how much impact is lost. At least, the cropping works fairly ok on that vertical.

Heat doesn't squelch Party in the Park
You're right CarrieB. The actual caption is attached to the photograph which you can't see displayed unless you hit the link 'photo' beneath the image. Not sure why that other caption is there. We'll try to correct that.
