I have a Panasonic Lumix and loved it. Actually, I had two because the one
before was a Lumix also. But this past fall my husband wanted a new camera for
his birthday and got the Sony Cybershot. The one with 14.1 megapixels and 10x
optical zoom. I didn't think we needed it, but it was what he
To add my two cents, a tripod is extremely helpful but also remember that many
museums, while they allow non-flash photography, do not allow the use of
tripods. If you have access to actually look at the garments in research areas,
not sure what is allowed or not but I've yet to tackle that
I went into the store tonight and they offered me a discount on the Canon
Powershot G12 - the others mentioned are not available here. It does seem to
work well in low light - this is an issue I'm always having problems with.
For emergency outdoor family stuff I use my iphone 4 which turns out
I'm hoping someone here will know. A friend to whom I've promised a corset is
having breast augmentation surgery: a boob job. How will this affect her
wearing a corset? Is it a matter of days, weeks, years? Can I fit her if she
doesn't wear it long? She's planning on asking the doctor, but
Every group of museums differ. Sometimes even as much as by collection. You
never know till you ask. A tripod might not be allowedbut a stool tosit on
whiletaking note might be. C,meom McGyver' it is still possible!

Only one thing to add, Cin and Alwyen,
The LACMA exhibit, Fashioning Fashion, forbids tripods. Not cameras.
Nothing about flash. Just tripods! Perhaps for the trip hazard? I
don't know. I have a monopod which is a pretty darn good substitute,
but they even forbade that when I asked. It
I've put an Elizabethan corset on an augmented figure. Once the person is
healed from the surgery, there shouldn't be a problem. What you will discover,
however, is that fake breasts don't compress as much as real breasts. They're
much firmer and tend to retain their original shape rather
She's right. I had a boob job years ago, and have since had it
reversed, but one side got very hard and wouldn't compress that
much. I was able to wear a corset though without any medical
problems, although my implants were silicone, not the saliine they
mostly use today and I'm told
If there's a stable surface you can rest your elbows on I've found
that does a pretty good job at reducing camera shake (and if you're
photographing somethign in a glass case chances are you can rest your
arms/elbows against the glass). I also like cameras with an old
fashioned viewfinder instead
A trick my dad taught me is that if you can't take a full-size tripod, get one
of those tiny, table-top tripods. It's best if the tripod can splay its legs
out wide or flat. Then you can stabilize your camera against your own chest!

Another trick, if you can't take a real tripod, this is unobtrusive

A friend of mine had this surgery done a few years ago, she was very tender
through her pectoral muscles and chest for quite a while, it might be a month
or two before she can deal with the compression for any length of time. Even
lifting her arms up hurt a lot.

A highly flexible and lightweight option is to get a GorillaPod. My partner
takes a lot of photos of her knitting and finds this to be very helpful. You
can wind it around a chair, cope with uneven surfaces, etc.

Becky,
As far as hair, a simple explanation is that it was cut due to some
illness. Belief was that the hair sapped strength from the body and
inhibited recovery. A child of any proper family would wear a bonnet
outside.
