Are you a new Lightroom 5 user and not sure where to start? Thinking about purchasing LR5 and want to get more details? Adobe has once again made available for download the exceptionally well done Photoshop Lightroom 5 Manual.

My hobbies are travel and photography. As such, I’m a huge advocate of GPS encoding images. I’ve been using a GPS with my D300 since 2008. The first device I used was the Columbia nGPS (see below). This was a hard wired product similar to the Nikon GP-1. It was one of the first available GP-1...

JDEG we HAVE to get this installed in the lounge when you next remodel!!!

I was reworking a throwaway image from last spring in Bruges in Lightoom 5 to see how the new features work. I realized that I have a pretty good shot but have a few questions for critique: Is the left edge of the frame too dark? Is the top right sky too bright? Should the sunlight reflection...

There are a couple of features of Lightroom that you might find useful based on these comments. The first is to have separate catalogs. An example of this is I have one for images from Europe. The second feature is Collections. Within the Europe catalog, I have defined country Collections based...

I took this picture of the hedgerows when I visited the Normandy D-Day sites in 2006. I can't imagine having to fight in them. It must have been like a shooting gallery.

Have you considered a bluetooth setup? Not sure if that will work with your bracket though. I currently use a bluetooth setup with my D300 by Aokatec. It works very well and no cables. They have a solution for the D600 but it is also side mounted. Last week I ordered a Dawntech Eco...

Today Apple released an update to Digital Camera RAW for OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.2 or later that adds support for the Nikon D7100, J3 and S1 bodies. This updates adds functionality to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11.

Ever since I visited the Normandy D-Day sites 7 years ago, on Memorial Day, Veterans Day and June 6th I always think of the veteran I met that day at Ste Mère Eglise. He casually walked up to the tour guide and asked him if he knew where an Army hospital had been. He was trying to find out...

Nikon released new firmware for the D700 (A:1.04 / B:1.03) to support the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR.

Nikon released new firmware for the D300 (version 1.11) and D300s (version 1.02) to support the new AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR.

I recently purchased the Think Tank Photo Mirrorless Mover 20 camera bag to use with my Nikon 1 V1 system. Below is my review of the bag – including some ideas that I’d like to see in the next version! (I know, it just came out but everything can be improved, right?) The most important aspect...

If you've been thinking of buying or upgrading to a D5100, today might be your lucky day! Woot! is selling a refurbished Nikon D5100 with a Nikkor 18-55mm lens for US$429.99. I did a quick comparison at Adorama and it is US$50 cheaper at Woot. I have purchased items in the past from Woot and...

The 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 has been officially announced with a shipping date of June 13, 2013. The technical specifications are appealing: 86mm FX equivalent, Nano coating, fast at f/1.2 and Silent Wave Motor. I was seriously considering this lens until the list price was revealed: US$$899...

Think Tank recently introduced a new line of bags called Mirrorless Movers intended to provide a solution for carrying mirrorless cameras and lenses. After looking at the Steve Huff video review below, I ordered the Mirrorless Mover 20 for my Nikon V1 system. I'll report on it when I receive it.

Very interesting video on how the Trib approaches photography for playoff games.

I wasn't familiar with Laura Shoe prior to this video. She does an excellent job IMHO of introducing the new healing and cloning tools in LR5. I especially appreciated the comparison to the content aware features in PS.

I decided to try a HDR because the cannon was shaded by a tree and I wanted to include the texture from the barrel. This was a real challenging situation with the brightness of the panorama in the distance. I tried both HDR Efex and Photoshop CS6 and preferred the results from Photoshop.

I predict that you'll love the 30-110mm. On our recent trip, I brought the 6.7-13mm, 18.5mm and the 30-110mm and it was an excellent kit. Our first two days were in Barcelona. Since we had visited there previously, I wanted to see how this setup would stand up to the DSLR and only used the V1...
