Deb Tappan
 You're in for a double treat reading this two-part article by contributing
editor, Deb Tappan. An experienced naturalist photographer who does not
consider herself a pro, Deb shares great insights about photographing
wildlife. "Whether you’re out hiking in the backcountry or sightseeing
from your car," she says, "having a chance encounter with wildlife is a
magnificent and treasured moment."
Many of the insights and tips Deb shares can be
applied to taking photos of other subjects. And the way you "see" wildlife
may never be the same after reading this marvelous article.

:: DON'T
WANT TO PRINT YOUR OWN DIGITAL PHOTOS? There are options!
According to a
leading photo association, less than 20% of images taken with
a digital camera are printed because of the complexity,
cost, and time requirements of home printing?! So you're not alone if the
thought of printing photos doesn't interest you. As an alternative, bring
your digital film to a photo mini-lab or kiosk usually found where
standard (film) prints are processed. Insert your memory card into the
slot, crop and edit your images, then print high-quality photos right in
the store of your neighborhood photo developer. You can also use an online
photo developer where you upload images, crop and enhance them with
web-based editing tools and place an order. Prints will be made and
shipped directly to your front door.
Three of the most popular online
photo finishers are Ofoto, Shutterfly and Snapfish:
