I was curious on who's causing the strange noise that I've been hearing every year. It appears these insects are called "Cicadas". I was able to shoot some of their old shells and saw an adult cicada. Sharing a documentary film that I found on the net. http://vimeo.com/66688653 Here are...

Very interesting video.

Out on vacation: Philippines Sorry for not being able to participate since I am currently on my vacation with my family in the Philippines. Here are some images where I took my family. The place was just relaxing and peaceful. Enjoy your summer. DSCF8661 by gqtuazon, on Flickr DSCF8657...

I'm still fairly new to studio type photography. I had a recent request from a friend to take a picture of her daughter to submit it to their modeling agent. Although the mom was pretty pleased, I would like to ask if there are any suggestions on how to improve the image such as lighting, hair...

Just wanted to greet all the great Dads. Have a great day. :D

Not so good review with regards to its optical performance. I was hoping that it would deliver similar optical quality compared to the Nikon 24mm PC-E lens. Samyang 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Tilt-Shift Lens (Rokinon/Bower) Review

Sighted this big old lens that has been on my wishlist for a very long time now during my "window" shopping. ;) To give you an idea of the price, just take out the two zeros and convert it to USD. What do you guys think? 200mm f2 by gqtuazon, on Flickr

Last Jazz Band performance of my daughter in her middle school. D800E + 24-70mm f2.8, 1/50, f4, ISO 1000, ME-1 mic. 1080p, 30 fps.

Planning to go on a family vacation here in Asia this June. I would like to limit my lens choice to just one that can cover just about everything. Between the lenses that I currently have, which one would you choose? This is the time where I wish I still had the Nikon 24-120mm f4 VRII...

Using the Nikon Coolpix S3500. I guess it is not bad for a point and shoot camera. HMAS SYDNEY doing a short visit in the land of the rising sun. HMAS SYDNEY FFG 3 by gqtuazon, on Flickr

Aahhh! The feeling when a kid gets new toys. I just can't express how I felt today. Just waiting for a couple more boxes for my background support and backdrops. Sweeet! :triumphant: My ultimate studio system is almost complete! Got signal? Einstein 028 by gqtuazon, on Flickr I'm now a...

I'm getting into studio type of photography. I just spent nearly $2k worth of lighting equipment including remote commander. ::what:: The only thing left is the back drop. There are so many choices out there but I thought of asking those who have been doing this for a while if you have...

I’m interested in knowing your criteria when selecting for your next lens purchase. It is expected to get various answers based on what type of camera you have and your budget. Some may not even care about these stuff as long as it is a good deal when buying a new or used lens. For most...

Sigma primes are surprisingly good especially with their bokeh. The new Sigma 24mm f1.8 is a screw drive only and is designed for full frame cameras but will work with some select DX cameras (auto focus wise). I'm sure the Nikon lenses might be slightly sharper on corners but in real world...

I was given the opportunity to "barrow" this lens from my friend. He still does not want to sell it since I've always been curious with this prime lens. It is small enough to cover group shots when mounted on a DX. On FX, it will be pretty wide for landscape purposes. So, I don't know if I...

I'm looking for a fast, portable and good quality photo printer that can make 4x6 and 5x7 prints. I'm not sure if anyone uses one for their business. I have a Xerox color laser printer at home but I don't like the images that comes out of it. Power requirement: 100 ~ 120 VAC Must be windows...

1. Go grab a pop-corn. This will be interesting. ::what::::what::::what:: 2. Background: So, about 7 months ago, I was too cheap to spend the money on a Nikon battery grip especially when it was just announced. It was an astronomical price then. So, like most of you do, we look for...

Based on Thom Hogan's post dated 17March, Quote:"So what's the relatively simple solution? Well, exactly what I asked for in the first place back in 2009: a D800h and a D800x. Wait just a second, we already have the D800x. It's called a D800E. Hmm. So if Nikon would take a lower megapixel...

I purchased a Nikon 300mm f4 back in December and due to the busy holidays and cold weather, it ended up being stuck in my camera bag. I haven't shot with it and tomorrow I would like to shoot a HS baseball game. So my question to those who have been shooting with longer lenses, do you...
