As the light travels it passes through numerous color filters built into the slot. The light reflects off the mirror facets on the objects.

Briefly comment on why you make a specific choice on memory card speed and capacity (and for the latest updates on memory card tech check our Sept. 2011 issue).
What’s your choice on memory card capacity?
I use the biggest capacity I can so I don’t run out during a shoot.

I just shoot low res JPEGs, so any reasonable card capacity will do.

I like to keep it limited to a max 8GB and carry a few cards... just in case.

Please comment briefly on your thoughts on using the cloud to store your images.
