Well, I just went out and bought a beanie baby whatever for my mouse today beacuse my hand is starting to hurt from all the editing and right clicking!!! My next wedding is not until September and by god I will have a camerabag with wheels!!! :0P
Anyways, I just thought I'd ask you all for tips- what side of the camera do you have your flash bracket handle on? What kind of mouse do you use?
Got any other tips to share? |

mouse is fine.
flash brackets suck. shoot everything portrait and just crop teh sucka. i did a 16x20 from a pretty severe high-iso bad WB image and exclusing noise in one area it's quite nice. and it was inkjet, not the continous tone i prefer.

hey- I'm bumping this cuz I had to leave & almost forgot about it! :0)
sooo... for those of you who do use a flash bracket- which side do you keep the handle on?
I've never used a tablet- how are they?
Thanks for the responses so far!

| For photo editing a tablet is, in my opinion, indispensable. Much easier to use for fine work than a mouse and hundreds of times better than a trackball. Wacom's Graphire series is both desk and cost efficient though many swear by the Intuos. I would pick up a Graphire. You may find it meets all your needs without the added cost. |

Ditto the tablet as the very best for editing, for both efficiency and ergonomics. Some people find it fine for ordinary navigation as well. If not, a trackball is probably next-best ergonomically, and can't be beat for speedy screen navigation -- a quick flip of the ball and the cursor flies across the screen.
I just picked up an optical trackball from Logitech for around $20 -- I just need to see if I can program it to work with one of its four buttons to act as a scroll wheel.
If you get a trackball, definitely shop in the store and try them out -- there are many styles and shapes, including some with which you use your thumb instead of fingers on the ball.
