As product trumps product, and new operating systems and formats rush to grab our attention, older systems and gear quickly fall by the wayside. Some have come to rest in my Museum of Photographic Obsolescence (MOPO).  The halls of that hallowed institution have become quite crowded of late; a new wing is being built as you read this.

Industry Perspective
GPS-Enabled Cameras and Other Geotagging Options
by Ron Leach, Publisher

Whether you're a backpacker, sailor, cyclist or simply a motorist, you are likely familiar with GPS devices which receive latitude, and longitude coordinates from global-positioning satellites to pinpoint your location. Applying this geographical information to digital images is called geotagging and it enables you to know not just when, but also where a photograph was taken.

How-To
Exposure Tips
Bracketing And Processing Multiple Exposures
by George Schaub

One technique to expand the dynamic range potential of an image, in other words, to overcome contrast problems, is to make a number of exposures at different settings of the same scene and combine them later to pull the best out of each exposure. There are various programs that do this automatically, each with their own foibles and charms. Another method is to use each exposure as a Layer, put one (or more) Layers on top of the other and “paint” one Layer into another using a Layer Mask. It’s a simple, fun, and hands-on technique.
