    Hockey Trading cards

    I shot my son's MITE Hockey season for the second year in a row. The parents were glad to see the images shared on our internal team page all season long. They thought so much of them, one parent used the images (with my permission) to make hockey trading cards to give to each of the kids at...

    Haven't shot in 2016

    It just dawned on me today that I haven't fired up my D7100 all year ;) Kid sports just kicked off last week, shooting at the current indoor soccer arena is horrible, parents got the boot off the bench during hockey due to the spoiled actions of two other parents. I've been taking my Coolpix A...

    Shutter Speed and Aperture Lock

    Looks like the D700 has Shutter Speed and Aperture Lock according to the user manual. Any way of doing this on the D7100? Shooting events/sports I sometimes find my fingers inadvertently moving the front or rear dials altering my settings while in Manual. Gaffers tape is an option, but I'd...

    Smaller Nikon flash units

    Damn, Nikon speedlights really do hold their value :) I'm shopping for a small flash to use with my compact camera. I was looking at deals on SB-300, SB-400 or even SB-500 (led light for video) to use. Bounce is a must have. I recently (today) found out about the Nikon SB-N7 and have two...

    How do you hand hold your 70-200mm?

    Since I bought one earlier this year, I've been hand holding the lens with the tripod collar to the side. I didn't want to remove it as I want it handy to clip to the Black Rapid strap or use on a tripod without having to re-attach. Last night a friend was shooting the derby match I was at. He...

    Nikon Coolpix A accessories

    So far I really like the Coolpix A, took a few shots the past couple of days. It appears the DF-CP1 viewfinder (way over priced) and the lens HN-CP18 hood/adapter may be more of a 'for looks' items. Anyone using these and can recommend buying them? Unless I pick some up used at a huge...

    Once a very popular attraction for almost 100 years, Bob-Lo Island now lies abandoned and desolate. Other parts of the island have been developed into a housing community, a marina remains, the rides have been sold off, but the memories remain. I spent a day there recently with a friend of...
