The website Petteri’s Pontifications has posted an interesting look at the subject of blown highlights, which can often be a problem for digital photographers:

“Some old curmudgeon of a photographer once said that any scene that has more contrast than slide film can handle isn’t worth photographing anyway. I think he was exaggerating a bit, but there is an important point hiding in there.”

Another recent article is called “Lens Lore for Newbies” by Forrest Croce, which offers a personal viewpoint about lenses aimed at beginners to SLR photography.

“Canon’s Digital Rebel promises to be a great camera and a fantastic bargain. It’s drawing a lot of people into the dSLR arena who have so far only been using digital point-and-shoots, or 35 mm film. Many are migrating from other lens systems, or have never had to think seriously about lens choice before. A 75+ lens catalogue and a new “format” takes a while to get a handle on. I’ve seen a lot of questions and some misconceptions about the subject… so here’s my perspective on it.”
