Re: Macro Photograpy and digital cameras

**H*@aol.com**

In the Circuits section of last Thursday's New York Times there was an  
interesting piece about macro photography and how it relates to digital cameras  as 
opposed to film cameras and lenses.  The piece is based on a woman, who  at 
the age of 79, decided to take up macro photography of plants and the article  
discusses how digitals cams and lenses handle macro jobs.

if it doesn't work the article is in the 12/27 Circuits section, page  C7.  
You may find it indexed in the Technology section of NYTimes.com  online 
edition.

I still  use slides for my presentations.
I first come up with  a  title and an outline and description of the 
presentation I want to give.  Once that is in place I begin the process of 
selecting slide to match up  with the content of the presentation. Usually 
takes about a week to come  up with 65 to 70 slides, working about 4 to 5 
hours a day. Once all is in  place in a tray they go up on the screen for an 
editing. More selecting  goes on until the slides are exactly as I want them. 
Another day or two...  I like to keep some time in between editing periods so 
I can come back  "fresh". Once the slide please me then a hand out has to be 
made up... a  draft went on by pen while selecting the slides. Once entered 
and edited  the handout is on file for print out. Another day. (I am very 
slow on  typing). Title, description, and a slide or two go on my web site 
and I  cross my fingers that someone else likes what I have come up with.
Behind this is the time to take the slides, then behind that the time  to 
garden and grow the plants to photograph.
