This may be a dumb suggestion, but it is the first thing that sprang to mind. Find a photographer on the Internet that has a lot of pictures online (you probably already know of one or two -- or search). Or a photography service. Usually web pages have email addresses as contact points. Contact them and ask them what they use (being sure to also compliment them on their photographs ;-)). May be a lot of Perl involved. Don't know, never programmed for the web. A surprising number of people do respond politely to email sent via their web pages. Marnie :-)
