This was definitely a challenge. The auditorium where I was shooting from was mostly dark. I was competing with the stage lighting on top of everything else. This one didn't turn out too bad, and will probably be the one the editor chooses to go in the paper. I'm not too happy with the odd...

I saw this new product posted on Scott Kelby's blog a couple weeks ago and had to order one. This is a detachable honeycomb grid for your flash, and has 3 different grid angles for spotlighting control. The creative implications of this cool little doodad are many, but if you're the practical...

Re: Can someone explain this to me? At least we know where the inspiration for the lens design came from:

I've been contacting local newspapers to see if they have any staff photographer jobs, which of course hasn't yielded any promising results. Most are happy to still be in business at all, much less in a hiring mode. I did have one bite, however, for an internship position. I have an interview...

We have 4 of them that we can customize...just curious as to what you guys are using here, if anything. So far, I just have A-Normal and B-Action Sports (which has settings as described here). Got an MMA event to shoot this weekend, I'm anxious to try those out.
