Hey Joan, there were many silly tourists at the David statue in Florence too. If you don’t want to get caught taking illicit photos, TURN YOUR FLASH OFF!
I’ll be in London some time in the next few weeks… if you’re free and want to show a newb some fav places in London let me know >_<

Hi misscipher,

I bought an Olympus E-300 in January 2005 (ancient now!). I use the kit lens 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6 and 40-150mm F3.5-4.5. Both were cheap and have served me well. I bring both of them when I travel, as well as my new flash and some basic filters.

I felt that as a newbie, I wouldn't appreciate the extra lens quality for the amount I'd have to pay. I think now, though, I know enough that I could make use of the wider apertures. I can definitely feel the limitations of F3.5 when I'm taking photos at friends' dance competitions.

You have some great shots there! What lens do you have and what do you usually bring with you when you go on travel?

Defied the rules? how about the laws of physics? do you have any idea how powerful a flash you would need to illuminate a space like that effectively?

I think the stupidity is at a different level – they probably don’t know how to turn their flashes off (or that super-tacky “shutter” sound).

Haha, the Jewish Museum — every first-year architecture student’s favourite building…
