    Some new portraits

    I took these yesterday at a friend of mines memorial service for her mother. It was at her house, and I didn't have a whole lot of room to work with, and only one prime (50mm).

    Nikkor 50mm f1.8d vs f1.8g is there really a difference?

    Sure...let me give you an example. Hang on....... This is a macro shot of a drop of water on a plant leaf: Here's a regular shot of that plant:

    Sun Up

    Very nice shot, Damon. I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of cropping it just a little, to show you how I think would make it look better. I found most of the bottom of the pic was dark, therefor wasted space. See if you agree.

    Project 365 - 2012: MikeC

    Project 365 - 2012: MikeC

    Mike, I liked your shot of the squirrel so much, I shot my own today. Not as good as yours, though. He was running away along a fence across the alley when I took this shot. Camera Model: NIKON D40 Image Date: 2012-03-15 23:44:08 (no TZ) Focal Length: 105.0mm (35mm equivalent: 157mm)...

    Temporary "studio" setup

    As the weather is still crappy here....still lots of snow on the ground and temperatures in the mid 30's F, I decided to set up my soft box, portrait light and backdrop, with a stuffed animal model to see what it all would look like, and take a few shots. I set up in my messy basement shop area...

    Decision---Help!

    I hope you're shooting in Shutter Priority Mode, as that will help with stopping motion. Shutter mode should be used in any type of action shot. Also, set your camera to CH (Continuous High) mode. Look at the picture, and you'll see that it's set to CH on the top left of this camera. This is...

    Marcel's 366__2012

    I forgot to put these up the other day. A view of my back yard during a heavy snowfall. To me, it's depressing, as I don't feel like going out to take pictures. I can't wait for spring and summer to finally arrive! Top pic is left side of the yard...bottom pic is right side of the yard...

    New D40 Grip

    Well it finally arrived! My new grip for my D40. It also came with 2 new batteries for it. Everything works as advertised. It sure makes a difference in the balance and weight of the camera. Much easier to shoot with. The price was right, too....something like $27 Cdn.

    I need to learn how to use the manual focus properly, auto sux.

    Yeah, I agree with Rick. I would have used f4 and shot it at 1/120. Nice composition though. sweet looking little girl. And it's not overly too bright....just a shade or two off. :) That can be fixed using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or Lightroom or even Picasa. Allow me to demonstrate using...
