B&H has a lot more class than our resident anti-DSLR sock puppet
troll. Oh, that's you. Anxiously awaiting your next inserted name.

Not for any claoms, but if you meant claims, anyone can do this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=b%26h+discrimination+lawsuit

Perhaps you take things too literally. B&H doesn't exist anymore for those
who only want to support companies that are owned and operated by reputable
and respectable humans. Let other companies now learn from B&H's mistakes,
lest they too commit the very same criminal acts against humanity. B&H
isn't needed anymore. They now only serve as a good example of how nobody
else should ever run their businesses. A lesson to others, that is all they
are good for.

Nobody did this to B&H but themselves. Bye bye B&H! You won't be missed.
Even better prices can be had from other companies for identical products.
You don't find that out until you stop blindly shopping at B&H. In a way
I'm glad this all came out otherwise I wouldn't have gone looking for and
found several other suppliers that are much better than B&H ever was.

Interesting but only a little. This sure as hell doesn't effect how I
think about B&H. They're still the best.

This suit was brought by the same EEOC that started legal proceeding
against Hooters for not hiring fat hairy men to work as servers. They
like to invent reasons for their (EEOC) existence.

Only started? Never finished? That's not very good justification for your
own support of bigotry. You'll have to do better than that. Only
justifiable claims are fully pursued, or are you that daft to not know
this.

>against Hooters for not hiring fat hairy men to work as servers. They
>like to invent reasons for their (EEOC) existence.

How nice of you to justify supporting proven modern-day bigots with any
excuse that you can drag up. That makes you equally bigoted. Couldn't you
find some typos in the lawsuit court records and use that as an excuse too?
This speaks tomes about your own character, none of which is worth knowing
more than you've already just shown to the world.

Let me guess. You're a paid, bent-over, shill for B&H. How much do they pay
you to do their much needed PR damage control? The more that you say in
support of them the worse they'll look. I didn't think that B&H looking
worse would ever be possible, but here you are, one bigot supporting
another. Financially yet, too. Doesn't get sadder than that. Half a century
ago I bet you would have been wiring monetary donations to the Nazi
movement while claiming, "They're still the best." Just because B&H doesn't
have gas-chambers at the ready doesn't make their discriminatory values and
resulting behaviors any less reprehensible. The owners of B&H will do it
again, they'll just find a way that's far less obvious next time.

You're right Charles...
Hearing every day that America is on the verge of a depression after
I've already decided to come home (from 30 years in Australia) is
disturbing enough but to learn that my home is also home to a bunch of
retirees behaving badly... bigots who stick their head in the sand and
ignore the even more frightening fact that they created the mess in the
first place is even more disturbing.

I wouldn't have know anything about it if I'd simply bought a book and
not watched TV!

Rita, are you daft? I was probably that moron's most outspoken opponent in the
photography newsgroups. If you don't remember that, just ask George Kerby, who
actually did support Bush. I didn't vote for him either time, and I didn't
even vote for his father when he ran for re-election.

I'm a real Republican, not a neocon or Cheney stooge. I'm appalled at the
direction the party has taken in recent years. I voted for Obama and would do
so again in a heartbeat.

I just bought a circular polarizing filter for my Nikon DSLR. It does
not give me the effect I want taking mountain and beach pictures. I
have found something called a neutral density filter that might give me
the effect (darkening sky but leaving foreground light).

I saw a device called a Lee Digital Camera starter kit that seems useful.

I know little about filters.

Anyone have some help?

You might be interested in HDR software, alternatively some photo editing
programs (my editing software is ACDSee pro) have a blend mode which is
probably less effective than true HDR software but may be suitable for some
situations.

Think you're after _graduated_ neutral density (GND) filters, as
opposed to just neutral density filters (ND). GND filters block
more light for part of them, typically placed at the top for sky,
then graduate down to block little or no light. Useful for
sunset/landscapes etc.

There's 2 main types. Hard and soft. Hard is a fairly sudden
change in the filter, good for seascapes. Soft is more gradual
change, maybe for city skyline when the change from sky to fg is
less of a distinct line.

ND filters block the same light across the whole filter. Useful
to slow the shutter speed down if you're after the appearance of
motion.

Be careful. Some supposedly neutral density filters aren't so
neutral and do give a colour cast in your shots. Commonly
magenta. Read heaps.

The problem with that is that you don't usually know that a site is like
