It was my first time to use my D3s for video. The video quality after it was converted doesn't look good since I had to downsize it significantly. I'm too lazy to re-format it since my internet is very slow in my area. Anyway, I think the sound was pretty good with the added Nikon ME-1 mic...

I finally paired this combo and my SB 900. Wow! What a heavy weight! :eek: Anyway, after taking some portrait shots on one of the cosplay in the City of Kawasaki, I immediately remembered why I bought this lens. D3s Nikon70-200mm f2.8 VRII by gqtuazon, on Flickr 2. D3s Nikon 70-200mm...

I might as well consolidate some of my images here and to keep me motivated. Here is hoping for a great start for 2014. D3s CZ135mm f2 APO by gqtuazon, on Flickr

Well, it didn't take that long. I wasn't able to keep it a secret that long but it is here. This camera was probably meant for me. I dropped by to one of our local stores here in Japan. I've asked the sales person to take it out of their glass cabinet so that I could inspect it. The camera was...

This lens is always my default combo when covering parties and special events followed by the 70-200mm f2.8. I recently borrowed my friend's D700 to cover our Christmas Party in one of the Hotels in Tokyo. This old faithful still performs very well since when I first had it about 4 or 5 years...

I need to replace two of my 133x Lexar cards. Somehow both got corrupted by my D7000 recently. My 16gb Sandisk is the only remaining SD card that I have and I am not comfortable without a back-up. Anyone knows who might have the best deal? I'm looking for a 32gb but no more than 64. Lexar...

This is an interesting surprise for those who prefer the 35mm FL. A full frame compatible 35mm lens which could be similar to the 50mm f1.8G lens. I'm liking the start of 2014 already. Anyone interested instead of the Nikon 35mm f1.4G? New Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G FX lens to be announced...

Just sharing the music of the holiday season. Sleigh Ride performed by the U.S. Navy 7th Fleet Band and the Japanese Firemen Band in our local theater. The venue was really dark, similar to watching a movie. Original file was 1080p but was converted to a lower resolution to make the file...

For night photography, use a tripod and keep your ISO low. Do not use auto ISO. Not the best sample but this is just something that I shot the other night. f7.1, 4 seconds, ISO 100

Help! Convince me with the D700 again Some of you maybe aware that my D800E could be potentially gone for good. There are several D700(s) that are listed for sale. Most likely from people who wants to upgrade to the Df. The selling price for a unused D700 is $1,500. The others have reasonable...

As probably anticipated, in celebration of the up coming Holidays, our monthly photo assignment is about the Holiday theme. However you want to interpret it whether you live up North or in Europe where your landscape is full of snow or summer time to our friends down under and in the tropics. Be...

Since my primary camera is still broke, and I have not been able to shoot a lot lately, I have been considering in selling my other "less" used lenses. Less used to me is defined as a lens that is not frequently used i.e. 6 months or more. With that said, the candidate lenses are Nikon 300mm...

After dropping my D800E with a Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 and Nikon SB 900, my lens and flash survived the impact but the camera's housing didn't. Nikon Service Center returned it to me and deemed it beyond repair. Externally, it looks fine buy I guess the inside didn't matter much. I'm a little bit...

This might provide a better way and comfort around the house and maybe an occasional trip to the zoo. Get well soon. Power Wheelchairs | 1800wheelchair.com

I just wanted to share some of the cameras and lenses that I never even thought existed until I visited one of the many shops who still sells these collector's items in their store. I'm sure some of the members here have owned and used one of them at one point. I would like to hear your stories...

First of all, I would like to say thank you and great job to everyone who participated with our monthly photo assignment. Please continue to participate, inspire and show your creativity with us. There were a lot of outstanding entries worthy of being printed and hung on your wall but we had...

Some of the images that I took with a client during the previous weekend was in a sacred shrine here in Japan. Since they prohibit people from using tripods, I found some creative ways to still use my strobe and vagabond power supply. My portable lighting kit Japanese wedding 002 by...

Although I'm not the official photographer, I had the opportunity to observe a traditional Japanese wedding in one of Japan's oldest shrines. The wedding photographers were not allowed inside, so they had to be creative, shoot from the outside and deal with the dark shadows inside the shrine...
