This week I got to try my first Nikon. I’ve been hearing how good it is from various sources over the last year, so getting to try this high end model was a pleasure. Or was it? I was given a quick tutorial on button locations and various menu features so that I wouldn’t need…
When you buy an external drive it is often listed as windows compatible or for use on a Mac. We have been conditioned to buying items this way, but in reality they are the same hardware. How it’s formatted is the difference. So what if you use a PC at home and a Mac at work?…
If you’ve followed my blog, you may get the sense that I like the techy side of photography, and that I like new gear. Well that is simply not true! New gear and the latest tech are only tools for photographers, they don’t make you better. In fact a new crisp lens and high res…
I’m not refering to actually holding your hand and walking you through step by step on how to do something… not this week anyway… I’m refering to holding your camera in hand to get your images. I was asked this week “When should I use a tripod?”. So this week I’ll answer that question with…
This was mentioned in passing last weeks look at the Exposure Triangle. It’s a complicated subject that at it’s core is the distance between closest and and the furthest objects that are in focus in your image.

At 2:35am everything is a bit blurry for me now so it’s not your eyes- it’s the image. It’s inevitable that at some point in your life you will experience a bit of insomnia. My mind has been racing a bit lately, and perhaps fallen off the track bit now and then, but a lack…
As a photographer you should be shooting RAW, the ONLY exception would be if your employer requires you to shoot jpg. … but IMO you should convince them they are wrong.. you are potentially missing a lot of details, and may not be able to save an otherwise decent picture. Shooting RAW captures more information…
I like browsing the internet, I can easily ‘waste’ hours during a day looking at new technology and searching out the best way to integrate it. In fact I usually spend so many hours and days researching combinations that when I’m actually ready to buy the product is no longer offered… I’ll leave that topic…
Hmmm… well… F… that was the drive with all your images? Now what? Take it to the geek shop and hope for the best… or backup your image files before this happens. Images, capturing beautiful inspiring images should be one of your goals as a photographer. But if in a week, or month from now…
