With the 7D, Canon has taken the crop-sensor camera to new heights. Photographers using Canon's "prosumer" xxD line of cameras are trained to expect sequential upgrades with each new model. In some cases, photographers were passing on the newer camera, lying in wait for the next model to address their needs. After shooting with the Canon

I read a great (as always) post on Strobist about building your own softbox for less than 10 bucks, and I was instantly intrigued. A softbox is used for taking those nice product photos you see on Crutchfield's website and in catalogs. But the word that got my wheels turning was "Ebay."

Crutchfield is full of enthusiasts — audiophiles, gamers, car audio lovers, you name it — and it has become apparent that a solid population of photographers exists here as well. So we decided to form a club that could share photos, talk about photography, and bounce ideas around. Here's what we do: On a rotating basis, members choose

Scot, GPS might be your answer. With a GPS-enabled camera, images are stamped with a location, or "geotagged." Geotagged images will show you the location on a map where they were taken, so as long as your stops are at least 50 feet apart it should work.

Bobby, First of all, forget about flash, it only helps for about 12 feet with this particular camera. You know those videos of a stadium at night with flashbulbs popping everywhere?

For weddings (and especially wedding receptions), you'll need a lens with a large maximum aperture that lets in lots of light and lets you work with faster shutter speeds. Nikon's got you covered here, as they make two great, inexpensive, low-light lenses: 50mm 1.8 : works like a slight telephoto with the D80. 35mm 1.8 : the 35/1.8 is a little wider

These are still around, and are great for loading film onto developing reels or into bulk loaders if you don't have a darkroom. But unless you're shooting the Baja 500 truck race in the desert, it would be just another thing to lug around. Junior77's got it right, just get good at blocking the wind with your body, etc.

Your camera comes with a USB cable, which is what you connect to your computer to download your pictures. Install the included software first, and with the cable in place, press and hold the little "play" button on the camera (same button you use to review images). Follow the prompts on the screen to download your pictures. There are any number of ways
