while software allows pictures to be created after the fact, sometimes its good to use the built in camera tools, such as the use of multi exposure that is available right in the Nikon mode, I shoot manual, and play with the exposure to make the image come out,, Here is an example of a...

Sometimes my compositions work, and other times, they just don't grab, of course, depending on the circumstances, you have to take what is available, Here is a recent photograph I took that I think works fairly well from a composition point of view. Now without the person, the picture...

I am always fascinated with the comparison between color and black and white of the same image. so, here is a shot I got just around the golden hour, It was taken with my 60mm macro lens, an the rocks really picked up the yellow glow of the sun, so, this image I do like in color, now...

do you ever wonder what makes a shot, and what falls flat, I know I do,, all the time, what is it in a photo that grabs, sometimes subtle, sometimes like a sledge hammer. so, for example, here is 30 some year old shot, taken with my Nikon FM,, lowly 43-86 zoom, which I actually like...

hard to believe that year 3 is nearing Mid point already, this weekend, I was in the city, and so,, had my D800 and 2 lens, the 24-85,, and my 80-400,, which is my favorite on the go combo. The 24-85,, because it is so flexible, and light, and the large zoom, well because it is so flexible and...

Today,, I wanted a tele prime,, so,, I grabbed my ancient AF 180 2.8 lens, and wow,, such a nice lens When I handle one of the older lens, I feel like I am holding a tank. I use a metal screq cap on that lens, so I feel the lens is 100% secure. compare this lens to my newer lens, I am sad to...

Packed and shipped back,, poof gone,, like it was never in my hands,, but some lingers behind If you need new,, any body that can save up enough,, or don't mind debt,, what a camera, sharp, easy to use almost perfection, minus the complaints I put in my previous posts. I got my nephew...

Well,, time to pack up the 810, glad I got that out of my system. after 14 days, it is just another camera, the finest improvement is clearly the shutter, funny, but it almost reminds me of the D200 shutter, The D200 also has a very quiet shutter, but then again so does the D7000, it was...

so,, daylight comparsion D810 D800 D 7000 D700 D200 50 mm 1.4 at F8, at ISO 200,, can see fair amount of color shifts, and about equal in sharpness, D810 does look like the winner, almost perfect color tone, and super sharpl but frankly, I would not get too hung up with which...

well,, I tried tonight a comparison strip of a few cameras, tripod timer release ,, but 1/3 a second, 50 mm F 71. ISO 125 D200, 700, 800, 810,, the D200 is a bit scaled off, can see some difference in color tone, D810 quite nice, with the D200 seems to be second, almost seems...

yesterday I spent a few hours using both cameras, I am trying to dial in the JPEGs to come out the same, but still finding the 810 a bit colder, even set a vivid, Interesting how Nikon shifts the color tone from model to model. One of the factors I enjoy on my 800 is how rich the pictures...

Second day with the D810,,, and while busy,, I carried it around,, put a 20 mm 2.8 lens,, to make it small and compact, so,, while picking up holiday food,, took this photo course, , I still sharpened and converted to BW,, then I went and did some night shooting then I tried to upload...

package is opened,, and the rental has begun,, D810! 14 days of testing/fun ok, first impression,, (coming from a D800 owner), really really same layout,, only the change that I can find is the elimination of the write back led, to a new info button. and a new write back brighter LED to the...

waiting for the Fed Ex man,, worse then watching corn grow, for,, a 810 rental! yup a rental.. took advantage of the 12 days free deal. what better way then rent to really compare side by side the D800 to the D810,, how much will the lack of filter makes for sharpness is the shutter...

snow,,, dont' even have to make a Black and white conversion! already starts off as one,, This time of year,, I love the fluffy magic, well at least for a few months, each year it becomes a challenge, how can I present in another manner, or make something stand out more clearly. such as...

I find so interesting how much effect a crop can make in a shot,, so for example is a shot I took out west,, that I was trying to get a window into the West effect, and here is the original source file which gives it a totally different feel, one of the beauties of the D800 or higher...

yes! snagged another D200, this one for a present. I am again doing the happy bidding dance, ok,, around 9K shuuter counts, not a scratch on it, and with shipping less than 180 dollars! I know many say why a D200, because its an awesome camera that provides the features and function of...

long and short of it,, recently I took a trip,, and wanted to mix it up a bit,, with my lens, so instead of my standard travel set of zooms, I went to two extremes, a 20 mm 2.8 a 300 mm 2.8 and that was it! and I really enjoyed this combo, The 300 2.8 ED produces such lovely images...

sure has been a nice fall,, leaves seem to be lingering, and lots and lots opportunities for photos, I got the Nikkor 14-24 back,, after the 650 dollar bill,, ouch, The lens is fully functional gain,, the zoom was what was broken, now all back, seems just a shade more grainy,, not silky...

sometimes its fun to work the BW and features for an antique look,, here is a recent ,, well last night effort. for a bit of old time photo look, I use NIK for the conversion
