Digital Photography School recently published a very concise but information review comparing the free Darktable to the commercial Lightroom. Very informative and well illustrated examples.

i wanted to share a link to a really interesting article and examples on PetaPixel of how images with street lights will change with LED's. Direct link to one of the images:

Not the best image from a composition perspective, but I wanted to get some straight lines and test the user developed lens profile. Simple image of ice on my back fence and intersecting lines.

I just picked up a manual focus Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED MC Super Wide Angle Lens w/ Automatic Chip for US$275. I've only had my D800 for a couple days but my first impressions are positive. Here are a few reviews that I read that influenced my decision: 1. SLR Gear: "The Rokinon 14mm ƒ/2.8 IF...

I went back to my catalog and re-processed an image taken in 2009 at Zaanse Schans outside of Amsterdam.

I'm guessing that someone may have purchased a D800 and realized that it was too much camera for them. If this is you and you would consider parting ways, please drop me a note. If I can find the right deal I may jump to FF.

Very informative description of the low-pass filter and how it may effect your images. Link

My wife and I gave my stepsons older pocket cameras to play with while waiting to get into Independence Hall about 5 years ago. I had hoped they would catch something good. I took a picture of them taking a picture of each other and combined them into a triptych. I printed it and it is one of my...

I hadn't heard of Silent Sifter before Thom Hogan reviewed it. I was curious and checked out their site. If you have photo and video files scattered around on different hard drives and/or directories on your Mac, this might be an easy way to organize your stuff. (Disclaimer: I have not used this...

Intriguing perspective on why Micro Four Thirds is doomed.

We were in Savannah GA for a long weekend right before Thanksgiving. Since we were primarily there to hang out with friends, I was traveling light. This was also my first opportunity to use my new 10-100mm lens. As a convenient all-in-one lens, I am very pleased. Build quality is exceptional...
