My everyday drive is a 2002 Ford Escape. Fun car is a '94 Lincoln Mark VIII with a "mildly" warmed (505 HP) all-aluminum, DOHC 4.6L V8. Bike is a 2005 Suzuki Bandit 1200/SZ Limited Edition. Today I saw probably the most amazing paint scheme on a car I have ever seen: This Camaro tribute to...

My friend Joe McNally just posted a new entry on his blog that I think every photographer can find useful: http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/2010/11/02/mistakes-2/ For the more experienced amongst us, many will probably say "duh, I knew that", but sometimes even pros get into a slump, or a rut...

Tonight's win by the Texas Rangers over the New York Yankees to send the Rangers to their first World Series in franchise history brought to mind this candid portrait I shot of New York Yankees coach Yogi Berra: It was my first MLB game to shoot as a working pro. It was opening day, April 8...

No, not necessarily. While having a higher frame-per-second rate when shooting sports can be beneficial, it will not guarantee capturing that peak moment. Consider a race car moving at 200mph; in one second the car will travel 293 feet. At five frames-per-second, the car will travel ~59 feet...

I don't know how many of you are on Facebook, and if so, if you have noticed the new "Download in High Resolution" option for photos. A friend of mine had commented on his page that he was upset that Facebook was allowing people to download hi-res copies of his images, and how could he prevent...

Here in Central Florida, October means it's time for Biketoberfest in Daytona. It brings a whole new meaning to "monsters dressed up".

Orlando Wetlands Park D300 AF-S 80-200mm f/2.8 1/1000 @ f/7.1 ISO 400

This is an image I shot many years ago with my F3HP. The image was shot facing east, with the orange glow of the setting sun reflected in the mirrored glass of the Bank of America Plaza and the Hyatt Regency hotel.

In the "old" days, the MF 35mm f/1.4 could be found in most every photojournalist's bag. It was a staple for low-light news work. Of course, back then, Tri-X pushed to 1600, or maybe 3200, was about the limit for usable low-light images, so every stop counted, and the 35mm f/1.4, while actually...

On a telephoto zoom, or any zoom lens for that matter, the DOF is a function of whatever the focal length is set to at the time of exposure, irregardless of the minimum/maximum focal length of the lens. Hyperfocal distance, now here is where things can really get confusing. Hyperfocal distance...

I am selling my AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF ED lens. This lens is in near mint condition, and comes complete with the lens hood, front & rear caps, soft case, box, and all paperwork, as new. I am selling it because just no longer use it since I now have a 17-35 2.8 which works on both my D300 &...

I consider myself a photographer, not an artist. I feel that to be an artist, one must create. I capture and document moments, events, scenes, etc. My background in photojournalism prohibits me from "creating", or staging an image. Is there a certain amount of artistry in capturing an image that...

Nikon just announced the new Coolpix P7000 . It looks to be a great P&S for the advanced amateur or pro that wants a high-performance smaller camera to carry when their DSLR is just to big to lug around. I know I want one! I always have a camera with me, but many times my D300/D700 are too big...

I have the AF-S 60mm f2.8G and have used it to shoot probably 95% of the product shots for Naneu Bags . I highly recommend the lens! I should add that I did NOT shoot every image on the Naneu web site; probably 98%, and of those, 95% were shot using the 60mm on a D300. Also, this is NOT an...
