    Pano mode

    i like using it to bend perspective... like making a VERY small room look like a long wall... or having what is behind you and in front of you in the same photo: there's probably more creative ways to use it, but i haven't been experimenting with it.

    What is the best dslr camera for me to take underwater?

    i personally skin dive/open water swim and carry around a 35mm camera strapped around my torso. i really like the film cameras i have and would definitely recommend them....but i can see reloading film being a problem at greater depths. BUT one thing you should never do as a photographer is...

    What is the best dslr camera for me to take underwater?

    my friend does surf photography professionally, and uses a Canon DSLR. i forget the actual make, but he tells me his underwater housing costs way more than just the DSLR. [around $1000] and since he mainly does photography at the surface of the water...i don't know how deep the housing will...

    iPhone vs Film SLR

    yeah true. i don't think i'll do another iphone vs film project though....i'll only compare it with other shots of the same thing taken by different photographers. i'm just too lazy to take the same photo twice. and yeah, the shots were unprocessed.
