Wow! Many many Thanks David! I have been receiving emails from you and I really appreciate it a lot! I am an advance amateur photographer. I have been taking photos for more than 15 years already and have been changing cameras and lenses with my own savings. Actually Im not profit oriented and photography is not my profession. It’s just my main hobby and I am very passionate about it. Your tips are really great and very very helpful to me. More power to you David! Hope to hear from you soon. If you don’t mind, may I know where you live coz someday I might drop by your place. I may be in the Philippines and I know one day I will journey and do my travel photography. THanks again!

Hello David, have you ever tried light painting, or other forms of night photography?

Very much appreciated. I was looking for a long time for this information and couldn’t find it, at least in a simple, understandable manner.

For the Benefit of Morton Bodanis, David’s web site is called Digital Photo Secrets, therein lies a clue as to what cameras David is referring to. BTW, Nikon make a DX (designed for digital format) lens of 10.5mm to give a full frame fish eye view.
