In the words of Obi Wan Kenobi:I am not sure which Latin sites y'all are referring to,
but I found two of them very much alive.
What does the "ecce potestas casei" mean, please????

Welcome, and thanks for resurrecting this thread, which I am totally enjoying, both for the Latin and photo stuff. Personally, I'm cheap and use the free Picasa program. The main advantage for me is that I can take faster digital shots and correct them later. My camera has a delay between press and snap, a problem many digitals have, or so I have been told. Now I can snap sooner, and if the face moves out of the light, I can brighten it. Or if it's over exposed, I can add shadow. If you aspire for "art," take lots of shots and crop.

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.
Noli me vocate, ego te vocabo.
Don't call me, I'll call you.
Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!
Stand aside plebians! I am on imperial business!
Canis meus id comedit.
My dog ate it.
Mater tua criceta fuit, et pater tuo redoluit bacarum sambucus.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem.
In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags.
Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

No one has yet mentioned another value of computerized photography. With Picasa, a free manipulation program, I can worry less when a quick photo-op shows up. I can grab my camera or iphone and snap quick, adjust later. If I catch a kid looking cute in the dark and the camera can't open the shutter wide enough, I can add fill light. It's amazing how clear some shots become I never would have attempted before. Likewise, you can catch action shots on the spot without haveing to frame them - crop them later. Sure, a pro would do better, but that's why she's a pro. The point is, by enhancing the data, I've got good pics I wouldn't have without it.
