NEW IDEAS IN TRAVEL IN OUR HOME STATE - VIRGINIA

Click here for more information about Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown

READER'S ALERT:  The May, 2007 issue of National Geographic has the best feature article about Historic Jamestowne that we have ever seen, uncovering dozens of rarely discussed facts of how the original settlers survived and why the Indian tribes that outnumbered them by the thousands failed to drive out the new intruders on their land. Some fascinating clues: the role of tobacco in ruining the soil, malaria and other imported diseases, and the humble bee that came from Europe. Fascinating stuff.  Suggestion: Too late to buy at newsstands but available at most libraries.

  NEW DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

  •  When you have a great picture, make a copy and save the original in a separate file. Use the copy to make your jpeg files for emails and the internet. Remember that every jpeg you make of that copy is like adding a cloud of termites that devour color and pixels. The first several copies you make may look acceptable to the eye - but the image gets weaker with every subsequent jpeg.
  • Don't try to delete pictures when you see a message your memory card is "full." You risk harming many other images on the card. It is safe to delete pictures as you go but not at the full mark.
  • There is always a slight vibration in the camera with most hand-held shots. Set your camera to take a burst of three pictures with your finger keeping the button depressed. Two and three shots should be sharper.
