As a pro, I use a professional digital SLR camera, such as the Canon EOS D60 shown here. The main advantage of using a digital SLR is that you can add accessory digital lenses, from fisheye to super telephoto. But for fun shots around the house, I use a digital point-and-shoot camera, such as the Kodak EasyShare model shown here. So, I have two different cameras to meet two different needs. But with both cameras, my digital imaging software, Adobe Photoshop, is the key to making my pictures look their best.
 
 
  April showers bring May flowers! And showers can mean waterfalls, small as they may be. To get a great shot of a waterfall, one in which the water looks soft and flowing, set your camera on a tripod and set a slow shutter speed, perhaps as long as 30 seconds or even a minute. To get a slow shutter speed, you may need to use a neutral density filter (to reduce the amount of light entering the lens). And to prevent camera shake, use a cable release.
