The Top Five Tips For Taking Your Digital Camera On Vacation

One of the most common places for people to use their digital camera is while they are away on vacation, and no wonder, because we all want to preserve those special events and memories as much as we can. But digital cameras require their own advance preparation for the trip. So here are the top five tips for taking your digital camera along with you on vacation.

1. More so than any other camera, digital cameras rely on a good solid power source, usually its batteries. If you haven't used your digital camera in a while, the batteries you have may not be sufficiently charged for your entire trip. And even if your current batteries are sufficiently charged, it's a very good idea to have extras along with you on the trip because you just don't know how much use your camera will get and you don't want to be caught short at the wrong time. Sometimes, batteries for certain digital cameras can be very specialized too. So it's always a good idea to buy batteries before you leave to have them handy with you on the trip.

2. You'll want to give attention to your storage cards before you leave as well, and be sure that you have enough for the trip. Remember, storage media is sort of like film in that if you have no way to upload the photos each day, it will eventually get full and you will need a replacement to continue shooting. Also before you leave check the storage card that you have in the camera to see what images are currently stored there. If there are photos on the card that you wish to keep, now is the time to upload them while you are still at home and then wipe the card clean for use on the vacation.

3. Taking a camera on any vacation or trip can subject it to a lot of use and getting banged around if you are not careful. So having a good camera bag to put your digital camera in while on vacation will be very important. If you have a digital SLR camera, then you may even want to take extra lenses along with you on the trip. If so, be sure that the camera bag can handle all the equipment that you need to take with you, and that it is comfortable to carry along with you each day. It's good to have storage capacity in your camera bag for extra media cards, lens cleaner, and any other accessories that you find useful too.

4. A very useful accessory for both film and digital cameras that many people forget is a tripod or mini tripod. Handholding a camera is one of the largest reasons for blurry unfocused photos. This is a common problem with many people, and it can all be solved with the use of a tripod. Obviously, you can take a large tripod with you on some excursions as it would just be too heavy to carry, but here's where a mini tripod can come in very handy. Many times they can fit right in your camera bag with you and be set up quickly and easily on a flat surface. The use of a good tripod is guaranteed to help you take sharper, better photos.

5. If you plan on bringing your laptop computer with you on the trip, don't forget to bring along the necessary USB cables to connect to your camera and upload your photographs at the end of the day.

If you take just a few minutes before you leave to organize your digital camera and accessories, you can assure that you will be able to have plenty of opportunities to record the fun and good times that you will enjoy while in vacation.

Customer Review: Does not fit all digital cameras as advertised

This product is definitely not recommended for advanced amateur astrophotographers who want to do serious guided afocal photography with their digital cameras. The product was advertised as an afocal adapter that would fit all digital cameras and all telescopes. It did not fit my HP 945 digital camera since the camera support base was over an inch too short, and I assume it will not fit any similar digital cameras (the tripod socket to lens front is about 4 inches for the HP 945). I had to improvise with other photo accessories in order to extend the distance of the camera from the eyepiece. The construction is primarily plastic, the only metal being the support piece that attaches to the eyepiece. Because of this, the plastic camera platform visibly flexes, causing an angular displacement of the camera lens from the eyepiece, that I needed to correct with a shim. The plastic knobs and the attached plastic screws for adjusting the alignment platform may easily strip after extensive use. With my camera, the entire platform was far too heavy to be supported by the eyepiece alone, and another improvisation was required for additional support from the bottom of the telescope. Because of the time I have already invested in making it work, I won't return this product, but I would not recommend it for any serious afocal astrophotography. Possibly useful for birders or beginner amateur astronomers who what to learn something about astrophotography using a small digital camera.

Customer Review: Solid, Heavy, Too Big

I've owned this Celestron 93626 Universal Digital Camera Adapter for two weeks. I used it for birding, digiscoping. It is solidly built but a bit too heavy (over balancing my Kowa 60mm scope). Also, it does NOT fit ultra compact cameras. My Canon SD800is is too small to work with this product. I assume that similarly sized cameras will also not work (3.5" x 2").



Amazon has great customer service and returns. So you may wish to try it out yourself.

Celestron Collimation Eyepiece 1.25"

Celestron Collimation Eyepiece 1.25"
The Celestron Cheshire Collimation Eyepiece is ideal for precise collimation of Newtonians and helpful for aligning Schmidt-Cassegrains. This special eyepiece fits into 1¼" focusers or diagonals. Alignment is easy using the small opening on one end and thin cross hairs at the other end. The collimation eyepiece is more accurate than the simple Collimation Tool.

Customer Review: Great device!

This will collimate most Newtonians with minimal effort. No laser beam is necessary. Follow the instructions.

Customer Review: Quick Collimation for Newtonians

Celestron's tool is easy to carry, easy to use, and (at least in my case!) gives me quick, precision collimation with my Newtonian. Why pay for a laser collimator (which needs to be calibrated) when you can use this?



Collimation is the most important part of your setup; without good mirror alignment, all you'll see are blobs and blurs even on the best viewing nights. This combination tool makes aligning both primary and secondary mirrors fairly painless, and also fairly fast. Highly recommended for any level of observer.

Customer Review: A bit heavy and bulky

Celestron 21045 114mm Equatorial PowerSeeker Telescope



On my deck this telescope is somewhat shaky,

In a recent Readers Digest an article explained that ALL Telescopes are shaky to a point unless you set it up an solid ground, that took care of the shaky problem. Its hard to move everyday, with the tripod open its very difficult to get through a standard doorway, alot of work to get the legs folded up for every trip outside. the Optics is great, higher magnification is blurry but ALL telescopes do that...all in all? I say its a great star gazer!

Customer Review: Seller 'Anacortes Telescope' - Mailed to wrong address, They Don't Care!

Amazon has documentation that the seller mailed to wrong address, yet the seller says "to bad so sad". Now I'm stuck with a telescope instead of the intended person.

Welcome to Oz: A Cinematic Approach to Digital Still Photography with Photoshop (VOICES)

Welcome to Oz: A Cinematic Approach to Digital Still Photography with Photoshop (VOICES)
"Vincent Versace is a Renaissance man who has produced the best how-to book of the year! With its subtitle of “A Cinematic Approach to Digital Still Photography with Photoshop” Versace introduces a system for creating images that owes as much to the traditional darkroom as the digital one. Don’t just read the book; study it. The first chapter isn’t called “The Tao of Dynamic Workflow” for nothing and, like the rest of the book, contains Versace’s charm, wit, and wisdom. It’s copiously illustrated with detailed step-by-step examples of techniques that when applied to your own work will turn you from zero to hero. The fact that he’s a heck of a photographer means the book is stunningly illustrated, but it’s also been well designed. It has become a cliché to say that a book could change your life, but this one could." -- Joe Farace, December, 2007 , Shutterbug, Top Digital Books Of 2007; More & Better Digital Imaging Books

Creating memorable photographs is a process that starts before you edit an image in Photoshop, before you capture the image, even before you pick up the camera. You must first approach the subject with the proper sense of perception, with the ability to visualize the finished print before you commit a scene to pixels, but still be flexible and spontaneous. Master Fine Art photographer Vincent Versace has spent his career learning and teaching the art of perception and how to translate it into stunning images. In Welcome to Oz, he delves into what it means to approach digital photography cinematically, to use your perception, your camera, and Photoshop to capture the movement of life in a still image.

• Adapt your workflow to the image so you always know how best to use your tools
• Turn a seemingly impossible photographic scenario into a successful image
• Practice “image harvesting” to combine the best parts of many captures to create an optimum final result
• Create black and white prints that have the look, feel and “richness” of traditional silver prints without ever leaving the RGB color space

Customer Review: Inspirational

This book is inspirational; there are 4 or 5 very detailed step by step exercises. There are, also, many example pictures of finished work, like the one on the cover. It is a pity that the author has chosen the "less beautiful" pictures for developing the exercises. Don't expect to find how to make the one of the cover.

Customer Review: Some great concepts - very sloppy editing

Versace's book introduces some great concepts about seeing and handling images that are not found in your typical Photoshop book and are always given from the perspective of a practicing photographer rather than a computer jocky. It is designed however as a tutorial with the intention of having the reader actually do all the exercises not just once, but several times. All great advice, but there is one aspect of this book that is exasperating. The editing is terrible. I have found this problem with many technical tutorial books. I believe it is because the editor does not have the knowledge to know when something is amiss in the instructions and the author is too close to his material to see the ambiguities and layout mistakes are never picked up. In layout mistakes, the author never sees them and the editor has no clue if they exist or not. It is only the poor reader trying to follow very detailed instructions that picks up these gafs.



In this book, I found every tutorial had mistakes in the instructions with steps out of order, ambiguity in instructions, mismatched example images for the step involved, layer masks that did not match the instructions. Truly maddening. These types of books should be proofed by a student so that these mistakes can be reported and fixed.



So I have started doing the exercises, but when I come to a step that has mistakes, I just have to wing it. Frustrating for an expensive book.



One reviewer mentioned that the exercises depended on using proprietary plug-ins. Well, he does encourage the use of Nik plug-ins, but does usually give you a work around with the exception of the Nik Skylight filter. He also notes that you can freely download time-limited trials that can be used to do the exercises. I agree that the arrangement between Versace and Nik is just a bit to tight in this book.



Overall I am glad that I am working through this book, but poor production practices have made it a struggle and thus my 3 star rating.



Also it should be noted that Versace's handling of images is quite theatrical with very strong lighting effects that will strike some viewers as phoney looking. This however is this photographer's style. I believe that the concepts he is trying to impart can all be used but much more subtly if his style seems way over the top to you.
