Over the years, I have used and collected lots of camera bodies, and compared the size/comfort level. I suppose it varies by your personal hand size, but I have noticed that personally I really like the size of the current D7000/7100 cameras. I remember comparing my Olympus line to my Nikon...

Jpeg ... Raw a debate you can read about in so many forums,, on my D800,, I have been using JPEG a bit more often,, but when I really like a shot, I then edit the RAW, for the keeper files. Here is a quick comparison,, not a great shot due to crop (wish I had the D800 for 3X pixels) so here...

Decay,, why is Decay so interesting,, but think about how many fine photos are made of decay whether a building or something in nature,, I alway joke, that photographers can't resist decay, throw an old car in a field, with some tall grass, nice light,, photo. or maybe a barn,, past its...

I had a discussion yesterday with a non photographer,, who is always asking me if a posted photo had been PhotoShop.... she won't like a picture if it has been photoshopped, wants it natural.. which of course cracks me up,, just where does the public gets this concept of natural photographs is...
