Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Hmmm, where do we get to ask questions of Howard, or actually both Howard and Linda? This time I want to know what kind of camera Howard is using. He has gotten REALLY good at his photography skills.

I think "Ask Howard" is whole forum.  He is the Ubber Geek in charge. 


On cameras it is not the camera, but the person taking the picture.  I know a pro photographer that was asked to take the pictures at a family wedding on a beach, his own family.  He was not going to take his expensive camera into that environment and used water resistant disposable cameras instead.  The results were great.

Let me think, picture of Linda or picture of Howard? Lawyer or cook and crafter? Linda wins.

I think Howard uses a Nikon, check RV-dreams.com, the info is there.

Hmmm.  I'll have to think about that "Ask Howard" category. 


As for my camera, here is the answer we have posted in our Frequently Asked Questions at RV-Dreams.com.


My camera is a Nikon D70 digital that comes standard with an 18-70mm lens. I also have a 70-300mm lens for the great zooms and close-ups. Of course the proper lens is never on the camera at the right time, so I spend a lot of time fumbling to change lenses and trying not to drop them in the water or over a cliff. :) Ninety percent of the time, I keep the setting on "Auto" and let the camera do the work. I just point and shoot without messing with the other various settings. About half the time I leave it on "Autofocus" and the other half I focus manually.

I do not have the big flash and only use the internal flash. That's why many of my photos are too dark (as has been observed by a few people).

I do have a basic tripod and a tabletop tripod, but rarely use either.

I love photography, but I'm somewhat of a lazy photographer. I just try to be in the right place at the right time and let the camera do its job.

With all the web stuff and enjoying life, I don't like to take the time to touch up and process photos. So everything you see is an untouched original version. Granted, I take a billion pictures to get one that is just right. :) But I do not use a photo processing software just yet.


I'll just add to that a little.  I have an ultraviolet filter on each lense that keeps the colors sharper.  It's amazing how much UV rays soften colors, so it helps to filter them out.


And there you have it.

Oh, I get it, Howard...that's what's wrong with my photos...I lack a UV filter.
