    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the problem, but try this:<OL>

    <LI>attach the camera via USB</LI>

    <LI>open iPhoto</LI>

    <LI>turn the camera on</LI>

    <LI>click on the "Import" button near the bottom of the iPhoto window

    </OL><br>

    You should see a message in the lower left corner of the iPhoto window, something

    like "Rollei dt 3200 32 photos".

    <P>

     

    If that doesn't recognize the camera then do a Google search for an OS X version of

    whatever Windows software came with the camera (e.g. if the packaged software is

    called "ImageBrowser", then search for "ImageBrowser OS X" in Google).

    Raw mode allows you to capture what is essentially a parallel to a negative (or transparency), while jpegs and tiffs are essentially a "print". So a raw file is unprocessed- i.e. has not lost information, while a jpeg/tiff is processed and has lost some information forever, such as the ability to adjust color temp.<P>

    I suspect for the latest Nat Geo article on modern airplanes, which was shot digitally, McNally utilized raw mode since the indoor shots appear to be color-balanced, while the article on Tango, shot with film, has that warm glow for the indoor shots. Neither is "better", it's just personal preferences...

    Hi Jeff<P>

    I think the debate sparked by the photos is as compelling and revealing as the photos themselves, so why insist that people restrict their comments to the artistic merit of the photos only? Clearly Mr. Appleby is making a statement with these photos, his text and with the glaring lack of photos of the other side of the story- the Israeli victims of terror. We are all entitled to respond how we wish.<P>

    Very impressive photos, Mr. Appleby. I would love to see you point your camera at the Israeli families who have lost parents, siblings, children and friends in this war. Hear their story as well. Show that there are no winners in any war. Thank you.

    I could see this photo at the beginning of a few rolls that you would have shot as a

    photo essay on this person, but on its own I agree with all above that there are too

    many distracting elements that you simply have not brought together in any

    meaningful composition. Perhaps getting closer to the man yet still including some

    bottles, perhaps getting down on the ground to accentuate the "field" of bottles with

    the man embedded within. As it is, it's just too plain- sorry, but you asked for an

    opinion.

    I agree with Josh as well- you have to pre-focus, regardless of whether you're using a

    P&S or a Leica M.<P>

     

    When I shoot with my Olympus D-40 P&S I have learned to get into a "rhythm". Ditto

    for my M3; it's just a different rhythm.<P>

     

    <B>Why is everyone in such a rush to make a photograph????</B><P>

     

    If you're just putting the camera to your eye while the fleeting moment passes, you've

    already missed it. The wonderful thing about "rangefinder-style" (uh oh- here come

    the flames) is that you can frame a shot and wait; anticipate the moment. Sometimes

    you nail it; often you don't. But that's the fun of it, at least for me.

    W/NW What did you shoot this weekend?

    Hi Ray<BR>

    Actually, I'm color blind (no joke). If you've got a few minutes, you will see that the

    other photos in my collection are not overwhelmingly blue (I think...). I guess it was

    just a very "blue" weekend.<P>

    I hope nobody minds that I'm posting digital shots. I've read the revised forum

    guidelines and I think it should be OK. Also, I shoot with an M3 but I just don't scan

    those photos.
