I have started the photo picking/editing stage of the trip,, I started mostly with the people shots, and a few of the buildings/landscapes, and keep diving into the folders. I personally don't start at A and go to Z,, but tend to jump around a lot when picking which photo to edit, maybe it is...

Well, my 10 days out West has ended, Today, it was a weary but beautiful day at the Valley of Fire. Incredible that folks in Vegas has so many gorgeous places near them. The Valley of the Fire has a place called the Wave, which is famous for photo ops. When I got there, there was some film...

Some places almost pack too much beauty in one place, and Zion is one of those lands, such a concentration of peaks with the tightness of the canyon. I concentrated in the river bed, from beginning to end, I found it provided some of the best angles and also features to be included. Also...

Arches,,, photographer's dream,, but also lots of crowds. Almost comical,, with the photographers perched in perilous places waiting for that golden light, and then of course.. as soon as the golden light hits, EVERY tourist in the place has to run down and get their picture in the arch...

So,, 4 days in Vegas ,, and most likely around a 1000 shots. I seem to take around 250 a day even when I am busy, I suspect on my hikes the number of shots will rise to around 300-500 a day, which is kinda mind numbing. So,, 9 days in NV/CA/UT will yield around 2500-3500 pictures to...

Vegas is crawling with professional photogrraphers,..convention of portrait photograpers.. so,, in the evening liked scattered identies they wander the streets, more dollar per acrea of expensive gear then problably at any other time of the year. What is interesting is how many lfet their...

So,, since my 80-400 was snatched, I am rethinking my long reach for say a teleconverter for my 80-200, would be nice to have the motor drive pass thru to allow the auto focus to still work I have been using my old TC200 old manual converter, but rarely, because I personally think the image...

I read an article about a famous Street photograher and the way he used his Leica, with the settings preset, and then more of a swing, shoot mode. I got to spend a few hour yesterday walking the Vegas strip, so, I experimented a bit with his technique. With the changing light/and shadow, you...

well,, off to Vegas,, Back Pack quite heavy with the D800, 80-400, 20-35, 35-70, and 28mm, 50mm 60 mm macro, 15 wide I consider this the full travel kit, All the lens except for perhaps the 80-400 are great lens for details that can hold up to the D800. The 80-400 is a hair less sharp, but...

Funny,,, I have no issue buying a 40 year old lens, but always tend toward the brand new digital camera, maybe it is the brand new camera smell, like a new car. Just not enough difference in price for me to not get new... but for my primary camera, I tend to go about 3 years between, and I...

actually around 212, but switching to entry per day DSLRs are just not free of dust or oil potentially,, so far, out of the box, mine have been mostly fine, but I have noticed sometimes dust, so, I clean that out myself. Just part of owning a DSLR is learning how to clean the sensor, tons of...
