tools of the trade

@Pixadilly: Thanks Pixadilly! I'm using a Tamron 18-250 mm lens for Nikon. The wide zoom range doesn't make it necessary to change lenses regularly - which is good because of the dust. This particular picture though was made with the standard lens that comes with the Nikon D50: a 18-55mm. I also doubt that the exif info given is correct. I use 'Graphic converter', a program for Apple, to shrink the size of the pictures and it sometimes corrupts the exif data of some earlier pictures I took. For editing pictures I use Adobe Lightroom. It allows you to recover overly dark or light spots in your pictures (besides a whole other host of adjustments) - I've not come across a better Digital photo developing program! It's available for PC and Mac. Oh yes, the picture on the door was to promote a candidate for some local election process; no 'Wanted' poster :)
