There has been a lot of buzz in the various forums about Nikon's financial results including comments regarding disappointing mirrorless sales. Thom Hogan posted a very insightful analysis titled The Nikon 1 Head Scratcher. In the post Thom calls out Nikon regarding the clear lack of direction...

Yes you read that title right! According to the August 2013 German language Foto Magazin, the V2 pretty much kicks every other camera's. . . butt. Interesting discussion thread here. The V2 and V1 are virtually identical in this regard. Summary of AF tracking accuracy results: 1st: Nikon 1 V2...

Family driving vacation to Baltimore and DC. Love traveling light with the Nikon V1 and the Think Tank Photo Mirrorless Mover 20 bag. I'm posting to demonstrate the capabilities of the CX format as a better alternative than a point and shoot.

It's that time again!! Scott Kelby announced the date for this year's Worldwide Photowalk. Anyone else participate? I've gone to 4 of the last 5 and enjoyed them very much. It is a great way to meet local photographers, spread the Nikonites word (I wear my hat!) and potentially learn a thing or...

My hobbies are travel and photography. As such, I’m a huge advocate of GPS encoding images. I’ve been using a GPS with my D300 since 2008. The first device I used was the Columbia nGPS (see below). This was a hard wired product similar to the Nikon GP-1. It was one of the first available GP-1...

JDEG we HAVE to get this installed in the lounge when you next remodel!!!

I was reworking a throwaway image from last spring in Bruges in Lightoom 5 to see how the new features work. I realized that I have a pretty good shot but have a few questions for critique: Is the left edge of the frame too dark? Is the top right sky too bright? Should the sunlight reflection...

There are a couple of features of Lightroom that you might find useful based on these comments. The first is to have separate catalogs. An example of this is I have one for images from Europe. The second feature is Collections. Within the Europe catalog, I have defined country Collections based...

I took this picture of the hedgerows when I visited the Normandy D-Day sites in 2006. I can't imagine having to fight in them. It must have been like a shooting gallery.

Have you considered a bluetooth setup? Not sure if that will work with your bracket though. I currently use a bluetooth setup with my D300 by Aokatec. It works very well and no cables. They have a solution for the D600 but it is also side mounted. Last week I ordered a Dawntech Eco...

Today Apple released an update to Digital Camera RAW for OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.2 or later that adds support for the Nikon D7100, J3 and S1 bodies. This updates adds functionality to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11.

Ever since I visited the Normandy D-Day sites 7 years ago, on Memorial Day, Veterans Day and June 6th I always think of the veteran I met that day at Ste Mère Eglise. He casually walked up to the tour guide and asked him if he knew where an Army hospital had been. He was trying to find out...

I recently purchased the Think Tank Photo Mirrorless Mover 20 camera bag to use with my Nikon 1 V1 system. Below is my review of the bag – including some ideas that I’d like to see in the next version! (I know, it just came out but everything can be improved, right?) The most important aspect...
