Hey guys and gals, it has been a while since I posted but I need the opinion of experts again: My trusty optical mouse has finally stopped working. I have been comfortable with this mouse for a long time. It has ridges cut into it from the acid in my hand. This morning I started looking online...

I need a little help here for a topic that has probably been discussed over and over, but I'm a little lazy so help me out folks. I'm taking a trip this summer where I will be out of town for an extended period of time. I hope and pray that I can take lots of photos with my Nikon D7000, and I...

My Dear Nikonite Friends, I need some help finding a large format flatbed scanner. I have retired from my job as a school administrator and I plan on pursuing a sideline photographic business. I have been shooting in the parks for kids playing sports in areas where paying for a normal team...

Just a note for everyone that if you need to send your camera in for an electronics replacement that it takes forever. I was originally told it would be back no later than October 30. Then they changed that to November 3. Yesterday I received a call telling me that the part is still on back...

Not an entry as it does not follow the guidelines, but I wanted to share my recovery buddy. Gracie has helped me through several surgeries, and she has had three eye surgeries so I've helped her a few times!

I spend most of the day inside due to this stupid storm. At my house we have had light winds by storm standards and that was with the center of teh storm passing 20 miles from where I live. The rain here also has not been bad. I have no flooding and no damage that I can see. I lost a few...

We have spent the last 17 days in Hawaii. I have many more spectacular shots of volcanoes, waves, sunsets, etc..., but this one is my favorite from the trip. This is my daughter Heather at Kehaka Kai on the Big Island of Hawaii taking her last swim in the beach. She stood for 10-minutes prior to...

Every time I visit Hawaii a trip to the Arizona Memorial and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (also know as the "Punch Bowl"). I thought that I would get a great picture with an American Flag, or possible several flags. Something that creamed patriotism. Instead I found this one...

Many of you know I love to shoot in cemeteries. This is one of my favorite places. It is a Military Cemetery in Baton Rouge (There is more than one). Legally I can't enter this week with two shots, nor a shot that I took a while back, but this is my way of saying thanks to those who gave the...

I was in my pool thinking about what would be suitable for this challenge and when I looked up the curves from reflection of the water on my poolside umbrella caught my eye. I love the way the curves are set against the straight lines of the umbrella supports. I also love the fact that the...

I have now had my D7000 since November of 2010. It has gone with me to Whistler and Vancouver to shoot mountain landscapes and the World Bob Sled Championships. It went to Guatemala for 14 days where we did 4000 pictures of one of the most beautiful countries on this earth. The only thing that...
