		<title>Anti-Shock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week we talked about Image Stabilization, also variously referred to as Vibration Reduction, Anti-Shake and Anti-Blur. This week let’s look at a different feature that is often confused with Image Stabilization. Its name may sometimes sound similar but its function is completely different. This menu option, which is available only on SLR cameras, may [...]]]></description>

		<title>Image Stabilization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does your camera have image stabilization (sometimes abbreviated as “IS”)? It’s becoming more common, even among compact point-and-shoot models. It may sometimes be called something like anti-shake, anti-blur or vibration reduction (look for “VR” on your lens.) But do you know when and how to use it? Do you know what it does? Do you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Noise Reduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some cameras have a menu setting to turn noise reduction on or off. &#8220;Noise&#8221; is the random white or colored specks you sometimes see with long exposures. Noise may sometimes be referred to as &#8220;artifacts&#8221;, though technically these are something different. The technical name for the noise reduction process is called “Dark Field Subtraction”. (Clearly, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rule of Thirds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The rule of thirds is perhaps the most basic and most often quoted of compositional rules, as applied to photography. It’s very easy to understand, remember and use. Imagine there’s a tic-tac-toe board superimposed over your viewfinder or LCD screen (some cameras actually have this as a feature). When a scene is divided into thirds in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Painful Crops</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s almost a stereotype to see someone with a camera stepping back and trying to zoom as wide as possible to get it all in. Especially while on vacation with the family lined up in front of some famous landmark. My advice is to not always try to cram every bit of information into your [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Kind of Camera Should I Buy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the question I am asked more than any other is some variation on &#8220;What kind of camera should I buy?&#8221; The question below, found on one of the message boards I participate in, is one such question. I am an amateur photographer based in the US. I need to make a decision between the Nikon [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 5 Minute Facelift [how-to]</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reader ML posted a question on our web site recently. &#8220;Can you take pictures to make people look younger?&#8221; What an interesting question. The not-so-straightforward answer is YES. Sort of. A lot depends on the subject, the setting and how much post-processing you do. There are not really any quick or simple tricks. With that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Digital Underwater Camera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may have heard of Nikonos underwater cameras. They were made for many years by Nikon and are widely considered to be the best line of underwater cameras ever made. While many cameras have long had underwater housings available, Nikonos was specifically designed to be natively waterproof. Alas, the Nikonos cameras were all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mailbag &#8211; July 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first installment of what may or may not become a semi-regular thing. I&#8217;ve collected a handful of questions over the last couple of months so I&#8217;d like to address them as best I can now. (If you have a question you&#8217;d like answered specifically, contact us here.) &#160; 1. Why is it so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photography Lessons from my Mom&#8217;s Funeral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Strange as it probably seems, I learned some interesting photography lessons at my mother&#8217;s funeral earlier this month. First, let me back up a bit. I had heard and read about funeral photographers before, so the concept wasn&#8217;t new to me. Still, I had never actually seen one in action. (Technically, I still haven&#8217;t.) I [...]]]></description>
