I'm guessing that someone may have purchased a D800 and realized that it was too much camera for them. If this is you and you would consider parting ways, please drop me a note. If I can find the right deal I may jump to FF.

Very informative description of the low-pass filter and how it may effect your images. Link

My wife and I gave my stepsons older pocket cameras to play with while waiting to get into Independence Hall about 5 years ago. I had hoped they would catch something good. I took a picture of them taking a picture of each other and combined them into a triptych. I printed it and it is one of my...

I hadn't heard of Silent Sifter before Thom Hogan reviewed it. I was curious and checked out their site. If you have photo and video files scattered around on different hard drives and/or directories on your Mac, this might be an easy way to organize your stuff. (Disclaimer: I have not used this...

Intriguing perspective on why Micro Four Thirds is doomed.

We were in Savannah GA for a long weekend right before Thanksgiving. Since we were primarily there to hang out with friends, I was traveling light. This was also my first opportunity to use my new 10-100mm lens. As a convenient all-in-one lens, I am very pleased. Build quality is exceptional...

I know it probably wouldn't fly with Nikon but I like the concept!

Every once in a while I like to go back and rework an "almost" image. This is from a trip to Portugal this past spring. I don't normally use such a heavy hand on the HDR effect but thought this image called for it.
