    What did you think of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial?

    Personally I think the correct verdict was rendered and I applaud the jurors for making the right decision knowing good and well the reaction it would get from people who were on the side of the Martin family. I am normally very "prosecution friendly" when it comes to things like this but in...

    How come stuffl like this never happens when I DO have a camera handy?

    Maybe I need to carry one with me all the time. This is Mother Nature at her most powerful. We get a fair amount of waterspouts down here in the late spring and summer and of course with hurricanes, but I have never been this close to one, and of course never with a camera HANDY!!! :mad: This...

    Nathan and Haley

    Just to prove I actually do shoot more than just photos of gorgeous models in swimsuits, here is an engagement photo I shot of a couple about a year ago. This was shot at the beach with the D700 and my 85mm f/1.8 AIS with a little bit of lighting help from a fill flash. It was later in the day...

    partitionling a hard drive

    I just got a 2 TB external drive and want to use it to back up the three computers we have here at home. Would it be best to partition the hard drive into 3 partitions and use each as a separate back up for each of the computers. I know cameras but admittedly don't really know crap about computers.

    Christina on the beach

    Since the "Sunshine" State is anything but this weekend :mad: , I thought I would dredge up a shot from last summer when it was sunny. I used my 300mm f/2.8 AIS at f/4. My wife walked alongside her holding a fill flash that was tripped wirelessly to fill in the shadows.

    Ghost Crab

    Today is my only day off this week, at least untl the weekend (which I only have every other one off) so I went to the beach this morning, camera in hand. I spotted this ghost crab, maybe 4" from leg tip to leg tip, entering its burrow. Ghost crabs are primarily terrestrial, though they do...

    I just pulled the trigger on this one.............

    18mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor. It is in near mint condition, just minus a tiny little amount paint on the rim of the hood, and only $500 plus $30 shipping. I debated for a good while between this one and the 15mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor and honestly I think I will get more use out of this one, plus it is less...

    Oh, this is SO tempting!

    But I am going to have to present the sell job of my life to get the household purchasing agent to get her to issue a PO for this one though! Hasselblad 500CM Gold Camera with Zeiss 80mm Planar CF Lens A12 Film Magazine | eBay

    Crater Lake, OR

    Ok, this image was taken with my 60 year old Rolleiflex 2.8E and not a Nikon in early spring, but it is still one of my favorites. It was shot using Panatomic-X film. There really is no EXIF data per se, the image was scanned with my Nikon LS-8000 and resized in Photoshop from an 84 MP image. If...

    Arches

    Like so many others, this scene caught my eye long before I photographed it. This is a wall outside a Methodist Church downtown. I was struck by the symmetry and that beautiful stained glass window, which stands in contrast to the otherwise monochromatic wall. I have shot this image with the...

    Microsoft Outlook

    This really has nothing to do with photography, apart from inserting images into emails but does anyone know a fix for the problem of clicking on a hyperlink in Outlook and getting the error that reads "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please...

    Homeless man with his dog

    I shot this photo of a homeless man and his dog back in early March around 9am with the F4S and 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS Nikkor and Tri-X. I developed it "hot" (75ºF) to accentuate the grain. The point of using black and white film and accentuating the grain is an attempt to show the bleakness of...

    A couple of shots from my first "back to the 60's and '70's" project (NSFW!)

    A couple of shots from my first "back to the 60's and '70's" project (NSFW!) Here are three shots from the first shoot of my "back to the 60's and '70's" project from last weekend. It took me a while to find a model who met the criteria I needed; hair that could be seen back then, no tattoos or...

    Ok, this is truly MIND BLOWING

    They swear there are no video tricks here. This makes my head hurt trying to figure out how this works. This stairwell is apparently at RIT in Rochester, NY. Magic Stairwell - Video A free D800 courtesy of JDEG to the first person who figures how how on earth this works.

    I found an interesting web page that you might find helpful

    It is an angle of view calculator. It allows you to enter your format (a wide range of them) and it gives you the 35mm/FX equivalent as well as the horizontal angle of view. It will accept a number of lenses and compares the angles of each. Also of interest is a photo it uses to depict the angle...
