    How important is bokeh anyway?

    Often mis-understood to represent the creamy, blurred background, how much better is 'good' bokeh? Fstoppers posted an interesting spin on it this week. Worth the few minutes of reading. https://fstoppers.com/education/bokeh-and-portraits-why-i-just-dont-care-71102

    Amazing collection of wildlife photographs

    A friend shared this link with me today. Some great captures here! One tick for the benefit of using a watermark of some kind, especially on one of a kind images. They might end up shared on a site like this with no credit or way of someone to reach the photographer. Cool, Amazing and...

    Great read today on Scott Kelby's blog/site "The idea behind the book is that photographers can get away with shooting without a conventional studio most of the time, as long as they can learn to make the most of their environments; all with the use of minimal, affordable gear." It’s Guest...

    Do you discharge your NiMH batteries?

    My Watson 8-bay Rapid Charger arrived. I'm charging my eneloops now (AmazonBasics Black AA should arrive soon). This charger has a 'discharge' feature. Is this recommended each time you charge or to do periodically? Thanks!

    Yashica Electro 35 GSN arrived

    GSN arrived! Battery included (Energizer E164). Power light is green, shutter fires every time. Self timer works. Only issue (I think) is turning the aperture ring does not open/close the aperture within the lens. Should it work like a SLR lens?

    D7100 is finally gripped

    Finally gripped the D7100. Still unable to score a deal on a used MB-D15 for under $140 or so. Being the new D7200 shares the grip, I don't see the used prices coming down too much anytime soon. A friend had a second XIT Grip he bought and never used. Took that off his hands today. Since I...
