    I've created a photographer

    After reading my story below, if you have a story about creating a photographer please share it. I love this photo. Unfortunately, there is so much fine detail it doesn't do it justice at web resolution. BUT, I love this picture for more than just the picture. First, the young man is someone...

    Desensitized to wild animals.

    Here is another example of people coming out west to see the wild animals and not understanding they are WILD ANIMALS. I think between cartoons, movies, and just not being around wild animals people have lost what was common knowledge - wild animals are dangerous and not something to be cuddled...

    All Tamron 150-600 owners

    I am considering purchasing this lens. Two local camera shops have had no returns or issues regarding the focus freeze-up problem. I am trying to get a sampling from those that own the lens on this forum. If you own the Tamron 150-600mm please post and tell me if you haven't had any problems...

    Oh, The Places You'll Go!

    @Krs_2007 To steal a line, actually a book title, from Dr. Seuss, "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" From the knowledge shared by Krs_2007 a while ago, and shooting a small tournament, I was hired to shoot two wrestlers competing in the Utah State Wrestling Tournament tomorrow and the next day.

    Upcoming Glacier National Park, U.S.A.

    The wife and I are heading to Glacier National Park for this years summer photography trip. She is hugely excited for this trip - this is one she really wanted to do.

    Freestyle BMX shooting tips?

    In about 6 hours time I am shooting a BMX freestyler in a bowl. I have no worries about figuring it out, similarly to @kris_2007 having some great tips to shoot wrestling, is there anyone that has tips from actual experience so that I can skip reinventing this wheel. That experience would...

    Air Force one arrives in Utah

    President Obama arrived in Utah, one of the 58 states ("I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go."), for his first and I'm sure only presidential visit. But the plane is cool. Not fun shooting after dark has started settling in, but the D600 did a nice job with noise and allowing...

    Moab Man's Magnified Macro

    @mikew For a long time I have loved to shoot macro, but I wanted more. A macro lens is great, but I really wanted more than just a 1:1 ratio. There are screw on magnifiers and they can provide mixed results. Often times the optic quality is just not up to par. Having looked at some of @Scott...

    Must stay 25 feet back...

    I know here in America we have the right to photograph police and other government workers/public servants in public places. However, there are people that push this, and in my opinion, misuse the right potentially causing risk for all involved. This 25 foot buffer does not sound like a bad idea...

    High school color run

    Wasn't a big turn out, but the participants had fun. Knowing how dangerous this powder can be for cameras/lenses I sprouted eyes in the back of my head and managed to keep upwind from it all. The participants were really good when they approached and I redirected them to keep them away from the...

    Need some strategy ideas.

    Background The local high school has a local photographer that has kind of become the official photographer. Correction, he is more of a cornerstone brick to the school. So much so that they have even put him on their website directing people there for athletic photographs. His work is, for lack...
