Since i am done with the torture that was license operator initial training at work, i have finally been able to go wonder out to some races this year. 1st event, 2019 Super Sebring. The WEC came over for a 1000 mile race on Friday afternoon the day before the traditional 12 Hours of Sebring...

For the past three years i have been ordering custom calendars through Nations Photo Lab as Christmas presents for friends and family. They are very nice, but not very customizable. I'm looking for something in the 8x11 to 11x14 range that will allow me to label the pictures. In my case i...

Lexar 2933x XQD Memory Cards Now 50% Off | Nikon Rumors Just ordered 3 64 Gb and a card reader. Not a bad deal.

I'm looking at ways to subsidize my gear lust and travel habits. There are plenty of opportunities at swap meets and various shows for physical sales, so that isn't an issue. I'm not sure where to go with a website with built in sales capability. Squarespace, Zenfolio, and Smugmug are the...

One of my friends sent this my way. Gotta love the muppets.

Nikon reveals the D500 DSLR with 'smart connectivity' Nikon Rumors had a more complete posting but i can't find it. Looks like D800ish body, for 2K plus the performance, I want one.

I'm looking at picking up an Airport Security V2.0 to use as my primary air travel bag. A quick search here didn't really turn up much info. The reviews online tend to be from wedding and portrait photographers. I'm looking at lugging around a 200-400 and a 70-200 with one body, and two...

I picked up one of these used on Adorama a few weeks back. Primary uses for me, airshows, racing, the odd animal i stumble across in my travels and whatever random uses I can find a use for this beast. And that is the main point, this thing is a beast. It is easily twice as long as the...

I've been slowly working through these and decided it's time to post up a few of my favorites so far. All handheld with my D7100 + 70-200 and some with the TC-14EIII

I'm pulling together a few pictures from Sebring that I want to get printed. I've seen mentioned around the web that you should bump up exposure by about a 1/4 stop in Lightroom, to make up for the back lighting a computer screen has. Is there any truth to that or is the image above ready to...

Just exported a few images from my last outing to help tweak my dad's tail a bit in revenge for his gloating when he was at the 24 Hours of Daytona. I had some pictures sitting on my desktop from my first outing to Summit Point last year. Comparing them side to side, at least to me, pretty...

My first real vacation in years and it was at HSR's year end meet at Daytona. They had a night race on Friday night, and it RAINED! Overall I took about 2600 pictures. FOr the three days I was all over the place and you can get pretty close to the track in most places. More will...

In little over a month I'll be headed out on vacation finally! I'm planning on renting either a 300 2.8 or the sigma 120-300 s. My current bag is a lowepro flipside 300. It can handle my 70-200, two extra lenses and the other odds and ends I need for a weekend out and about. Since I will be...

This November I will be headed to Daytona International Speedway for the end of year HSR vintage race. Some of the distances can be very very long. I was looking at renting this lens to use on my D5200, and I am also considering getting a teleconverter for my 70-200 as a different option. Has...

Went out of town this past weekend to visit some friends and to see some fireworks. I thought it would be fun to attempt to get some pictures of the fireworks show. In preparation I stopped by a camera store close to my friends house to pick up a tri-pod and a remote shutter release. The two...

I bought a D5200 at the beginning of March and it is my first dSLR. In the three months I have owned it I have absolutely loved it and am now shooting in manual more than the auto modes. Once i started shooting in manual i found having one dial on the right side to adjust settings to be rather...

This past weekend at Mid Ohio was a blast. 75 degrees, nice breeze, beautiful sunshine, and GOOD GRAVY did these pictures turn out SO much better then the first outing at Summit Point. Here's the first 6 of 180 i have converted so far. The only downside, Mid Ohio has fences around most of hte...

Last weekend Summit Point had its major vintage race for the year. This is one race I have wanted to go for a few years and now finally had the chance to go see it. This is also the first weekend I have used my D5200 and 70-200 2.8 for its intended purpose. I have 1,260 pictures to sift...

Recently moved to the greater Pittsburgh area for a new career. Picked up my first dSLR two months ago and have been using it, learning how to use it, and thoroughly enjoying it since. As of right now, I have 6 different races on the calender i am planning on attending, so it's going to be a...
