I've been looking for a camera backpack to update my older backpacks. I was going to get the $74.99 Case Logic SLRC-206 SLR Camera and 15.4-Inch Laptop Backpack from Amazon.com. Amazon.com: Case Logic SLRC-206 SLR Camera and 15.4-Inch Laptop Backpack (Black): Camera & Photo Yesterday, I saw...

Since most of the newer cameras including entry level cameras now have 24mp, let's show the resolution power of our cameras. Please include the camera, lens used and other nice to know data when you took the shot i.e. tripod or hand-held. Let the fun begin so allow me to start one. D800E...

A long tradition to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff or half-mast as we call it in the Navy when the whole nation is in mourning. Half Mast by gqtuazon, on Flickr 11Sep13 by gqtuazon, on Flickr

I tried my D800E with the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII lens in DX mode to shoot our local High School football game. I've recently shot a similar game with my D7000 and Nikon 300mm f4 AFS lens on the thread below...

September monthly challenge is "weathered", abandoned, aged, antique, vintage or something within those lines. Your image(s) MUST BE TAKEN DURING THE MONTH OF September 2013. Assignments are designed to help you grow your photography skills and creativity, and have fun doing so...

Ok, I must admit that I am becoming more of a "geek" with all of the gadgets that are available now. Too many wireless remote capabilities (me thinks) but I like it. I still have not entertained the idea of using my cell phone or ipad to take pictures with my D800E. Comparing to the film...

Manfrotto has it's own proprietary quick release design. I have one of their fluid head and just like what Don showed on his camera, it has a large footprint. I mounted an Arca-swiss compatible clamp above it so that I can use my arca swiss camera mount and lens mounts for easier and more solid...

Off topic: Contrary to popular belief, the number of female photographers are more than what you think. During my recent visit in Tokyo Disneyland, most of the photographers that I noticed were female.

For the most part, the HS games are not so strict. I usually wear a red shirt and just blend in with the staff. They usually don't question me especially if I use a long lens. They think that I am part of the media or local news paper. LOL! The school has some volunteers that takes pictures...

Thanks Kevin. Here are some jpg images that were not edited other than resize and the water mark for comparison. Just double click on the image for larger view.

The High School football game just started. I brought my D7000 with the Nikon 300mm f4 AFS lens with me using a monopod. Since the football field was pretty dark, I think my set-up was just being pushed to its limits. I'm not happy with my shots. A D3s or D4 with a f2.8 lens will be a more...

I was slightly bored today and I decided to perform a test using my D800E, Nikon 300mm f4 mounted on my Gitzo GT3531S and Arca Swiss Z1 ballhead and a Nikon SB 800 mounted on the hot shoe. The test was to see how well my tripod and ball head handles slow shutter speeds and the effects of...

Rick is right and some of the schools, particularly the Naval Defense Academy which is similar to the U.S. Naval Academy have an American Football team with matching cheer leaders too. :D The military base schools compete against other military base team amongst the Army, Air Force, Navy and...

Just in case you have not read the new post from Nikonrumor.com, more goodies for 2014 which can include a Nikon D4x and a new design for the Nikon 300mm f4 with VR. I know most of the discussion is about the disappointment for not introducing the D400 or the replacement for the D300s for the...

Oops! I did it again! I just couldn't handle it anymore and had to get one in our local store. It came with a 3 year warranty here in Japan. I hope I'll be able to spend some quality time with my new family member. :rolleyes: BTW, Marcel - I did it before Monday arrived. :congratulatory...

Well, not really but I thought it was a great title. Sharing some pictures taken during our Japanese Bon Odori Festival. It was a fun and great event. Even the Americans participated and wore the kimonos. Who could ever resist not taking any pictures with this type of event. I brought two...

So what are your thoughts on the new Nikon 18–140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens? The new design should be able to accommodate the next generation of higher resolution cameras. This might be the ideal kit lens for most people which gives you that extra reach for general type photography. MSRP...
