Make sure you haven't engaged the focus-lock rocker-switch on the body of the camera. I've done this myself a time or two because this switch is way too easy to engage by mistake. If the little rocker switch surrounding the "OK" button is in the "L" position, you've locked your focus. Move it...

Some shots from a recent return trip to one of my favorite shooting locations, Salton Sea, CA. This desolate location has an odd, haunting beauty that keeps me coming back. When I look at these shots, even I find hard to believe they were all taken in such close proximity to one another...

Wait a minute... Concerned about a 35mm f/1.8G? That's a GEM of a lens... I'd give up a LOT of other glass before I'd let go of my 35mm. .....

This young mom and daughter (names withheld by request) were kind enough to let me get some shots of them recently and were taken for someone else, actually, who makes and sells the crocheted hats and scarves you see them both wearing. Working with people on this level is not my forte, but I...

For this installment we are going to be discussing another tool that can lend power to our photographic composition, one that directs attention to our subject. A good photograph, as has been mentioned before, has a clear subject and may contain numerous subordinate elements. My feeling is that...

A little attention to composition would have gone a long way here, it's a nice scene and really nice subject. What's killing this shot for me are the numerous distracting elements; the sheep and most importantly those wooden fence posts. Removing them helps greatly...

What kind of memory card are you using? The green light is on while the data is being written to the SD card so if you're using an old, slow card it might be time to upgrade. If you're not using a Class 10 card, you really should be. The class is a number enclosed in a "C" and will be on the...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Happy Birthday your Majesty.

It's a good shot but I think it could be better. Since the waterfall is the subject, let's put move it off-center to add a visual dynamic and get rid of some of that distracting foreground... Rule of Thirds to the rescue! The color is good, but there's a tiny shift toward the blue so let's...
