ooops,, broke a video screen on the outside,, got to be more careful with back packs, one hard edge against the camera, and then pop that is what I did like about the D5000, with the flip screen to put the glass on the inside, clever, and really good for protection. I shot with my D7000 this...

I am such a lens junky,, only because I do love opening up a box, Often when I travel,, I strive for the lightest kit possible, lately, I have been traveling with primes lens, like the 20mm, 35, mm 50 or 55, and maybe a longer tele. I can toss the lens into cargo pants. or ,, a small short...

Been having fun with the 16mm fisheye, built so fine, and yes,, totally distorts, but, one can take advantage of the distortion and make it part of the composition, sure, it bulges, course if you don't like can also just use the Adobe plug in and remove the distortion,

I am getting ready for a trip with days of hiking, soooo trying to design the ulitmate light weight, but high quality kit,, I have the 14-24 and the 15 3.5 for wide angle, but both are still kinda large, soooo,, Thank you Nikkor for still making ancient designs, which one, why the 16 mm 2.8...

Been a busy period, shooting thousands of photos since the last blog, I have continued to move to the right camera for the right occasion, adding a 20 mm prime to the Nex7 for the ultra running and also super tuck in cargo pants pocket camera. Also the perfect camera when out on the town. The...

looks like I am on a monthly run cycles for my blogs now,, and yes I have been busy,, taking 1000's of photos during this last month I have added the Sony A7 now to my kits, so now, I have the Nikon P7000 for my point and shoot, a D200 for my toss in car camera and leave, A D800 for the heavy...

This year is even flying by faster,,, and 36 days has flown by since my last blog, hard to believe. I have been using both my D800 and my Nex7 with Nikkor lens as my cameras. I am loving the smaller camera with DX size sensor and so so wish Nikon would release a true Fmount DX mirrorles so I...

There is this concept of the universal appeal where one shows photos to people and across cultures from desert to frozen North, and the winner is Landscape with scattered trees, maybe a road leading away, perhaps wired into our DNA? I do find certain landscapes just trigger appeal, such as...

so,, the large sensor Sony came,, along with the Sigma 19 mm lens, all nice and solid, people complained that the menus are complicated, but seems clear enough, I changed it to low ISO, manual control, point focus, high quality image, and well, laughs as simple now as my D800. The key is I...

well, actually, its a few days into Year 4,, last year i wrote only a few blogs, for the first 2 years, i wrote a blog entry just about every single day, Its really hard to say or know the response, since I get so very very few likes and just a handful of comments over the years. Yesterday, I...

a big gap since my last blog, but not a gap in my photography. Once change up in my gear is that I busted my Nikkor 80-400 lens and what I thought was a simple tripod tip in a soft field, but the momentum of the stop was enough to destroy the insides of the lens. Repair cost exceeded the value...

so,, its been a while, I have been so busy last 8 weeks, as the frantic pace of end of summer. Been shooting almost every single day, with fair number of decent shots. soon,, fall will be here, and us in the north will be chasing the falling leaves. Lately, I have been stitching shots...

summer,, I have been so busy with work, and fun, but of course that includes photography. I did manage to sell a couple pieces, never a lot of money, but hey, better than a stick in the eye. One has to become famous,, to make money. One of my problems is that I jump all over the landscape...

fireworks time,, while what seems easy can be more tricky,, mostly because position and location can make such a difference, this year I could had a good spot, but a lady got the spot first for her fuzzy iphone video of the whole event, so,, a bit to the side, laughs, I tried to get a few...

Printed a photo last night, and got me thinking how much less I print now, but, also,, how I need to keep printing to first keep the ink flowing and the printer unclugged, and to look at the photo differently. Let's face it, photos on computers are not really stared at, or day dreamed at, its...

Spring is here, and I have been out straight trying to shoot the season, the transition is so fast, that one really has to catch the moments, here is a 105 (old AIS version) shot . I think the shallow DOF works in this shot, The 105 is a wonderful old lens, but still fairly expensive...

ah,, star bursts, course the shape varies depending on the number of blades, and the shape of the blade even, but it does vary from lens and lens an so you have to vary and compare to see which lens produces the most pleasing star in your own eyes, Some people hate them others love them...

I am so thinking now that the 14-24 is too delicate of a lens, that I pulled off the shelf the old workhorse 15 mm 3.5 prime.. ahhh now that is a tough lens,, built like a tank, durable, and smaller to carry, I can carry it easily in a side bag, and unlike the 14-24 poorly designed bag, it...

Weekend, in that lazy mood day,, One of the refrains of photographers is how hard it is to sell your work, so so true, Ironically,, over half of my sales over the years, were ... to other photographers. I have my work out, and you get all the usual compliments, and people really liking works...

amazing how fast this year has flown,, This year I have not been doing the daily blog, but nobody has commented.. Last night,, I ordered one of the last Nikkor 24-85 ED AFS lens, Nikon has released a newer version, but with more bulk and cost, I love this old lens, and my version is really...
