I agree with the other writer who said you should get and learn to use Photoshop. As a long-time amatuer photographer, I an often dismayed to see telephone wires everywhere, and when you shoot the pic, youjust get a black line across the photo. With Photoshop, you can remove it. Dave

In Portugal, the explorer Cabral, who discovered Brazil, came from the village of Belmont. The old part of the village is pretty well preserved and, with some care, you should be able to take pictures without anachronisms.

Take a digital camera and a laptop. Take a lot of the outdoor photos on Sunday morning Every night Download the photos to the laptop and annotate them Later you can use something like PhotoShop to "edit" the photos — http://www.sojorns.com – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> What I need to be able to do is to take several hundred pictures of the > scenery, town, and any artifacts from that time period.

Invest in a copy of PhotoShop. You can easily remove cars, telephone wires, giraffes, and anything else that offends you. miguel — Hit The Road! Photos and tales from around the world: http://travel.u.nu

Make that a professional, studio quality digital camera unless picture quality or enlargement is not an issue. Colin Bignell

Hi, I will be travelling to Germany (Wittenberg) and Portugal and am planning to take a series of photgraphs based on the life and times of Martin Luther and Christopher Columbus (or someone like him who isn’t as well known). This is being done for an educational series and it’s very important that I am as historically accurate as possible. What I need to be able to do is to take several hundred pictures of the scenery, town, and any artifacts from that time period. This is of course made difficult by the fact that I can’t have any anachronisms (people, cars, signs, telephone wires, etc.) in the shots and that the artifacts will mostly be located in museums. If anyone has any advice on where in the area I should go, any museums nearby, or any other thoughts on how best to go about doing this I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks very much, Sean Ashbee
