The only time i've got this error is when using an old Sigma 70-210mm on my Canon 400D. Apparently the chip in the lens is too old to allow it to communicate properly with the camera; i don't know whether this is true, just what i've been told. My lens works fine on maximum aperture, but gives the 'err99' on anything else. So in answer to the question, unless the lens manufacturer can re-chip the lens, you're out of luck. Hope this helps.

I have received many emails about my work after being published here... and I really appreciate all the response. The sum up what I mentioned above: 1.) Learn composition and use it. Rule of thirds, leading lines, filling the frame with subject, etc... 2.) Know your camera very well. If you are looking down to set things up you will miss the shot. Also, just because the DSLRs might be the 'best camera you can afford' doesn't mean it is the best one you can shoot with... keep that in mind. 3.) Don't show everyone your crappy pictures, its boring. Just pick the one or two best ones from that photoshoot. I don't care if its your kids, your dog, or your favorite food. One or two is enough. Many of you have also emailed asking about my post-processing techniques. Sure, I use Photoshop... but I hesitate getting crazy with layers n' such... mostly because I do not know the program well. However, the one thing that has helped me greatly in this area is the course I took at a local Community college on Color Photography. I beg everyone who is interested in this stuff to take a class in Photography. Reading on the 'net and in libraries is a great start, but having instruction and critiques and comparing your work to other real life people nearby you is a rewarding experience all in itself. Also, the darkroom is an incredibly sexy way to spend some time with your work. All in all, thank you very much for the nomination and the great comments... Thanks everyone!!!

There is way too much post processing in digital snaps - makes most photographers lazy to take the time to wait and take a good snap. Beautiful photos on the flickr account.

Do you do anything specific to achieve them or is it just the way you compose? Love your work, especially the muted colours.
