    My first Studio shot with this lens. Of course, this was taken from last year. I cropped the right eye for pixel peeping purposes. Sharp enough?

    Nikon SC-29 cord

    So I bought this cord in order to come up with a better solution when using the 70-200mm f2.8 lens for event portraits. I wanted to try this instead of paying for a very expensive flash bracket from Really Right Stuff. Flash Brackets Has anyone used this type of configuration or am I nuts to...

    D3s Softball game at night

    I was able to try out the D3s at night during a try out game. Nothing spectacular but I like the image output of this combo with the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8VRII. Time was around 10:30 PM. Feedback are always welcome. 1. M mode @130mm, 1/200, f2.8, ISO 3,600 D3s 70-200mm 009 by gqtuazon, on Flickr...

    Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens

    I am entertaining the idea in getting the lighter weight Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR Lens as a walk-around lens during day time and for travel. I'm seeing a couple of post from people who have upgraded to a better lens (just my assumption). I appreciate any feedback about its optical quality...

    I tortured my D3s!

    If there was a law for torturing a camera, I would have been in jailed already. Got some extreme blizzard today with wind gust up to 35 knots of wind. I don't know what got into me but I thought of testing how true the weather sealing is with this camera. It lived up the hype and I didn't felt...

    Niikon Gold Boxes: Keep em or get rid of them?

    I normally do not keep original boxes expecially with the flat screen TVs. I've been holding on the Nikon and other camera related boxes for a while just incase if I want to sell them in the future. For those equipment that I do not intend to sell, I usually dump it like my Gitzo tripod. So...

    Nikon 85mm f1.8G vs Sigma 85mm f1.4 HSM

    I'm still trying to explore the advantages of the f1.4 vs f1.8. I know these are two different lenses and the Nikon 85mm f1.4G might be more appropriate but I do not have that lens. Here is the size comparison to start with. The Sigma is definitely much bigger and heavier as what you would...

    My Digital Photography Equipment Evolution

    Looking back on how my equipmet have started and evolved as my passion in photography continues. So many lenses that I have tried and sold over the years. I thought of downsizing but somehow they keep on growning. It is so hard to let go on my current lenses until something new and improve is...
