Glad I had the 28-300 during a helicopter ride over Volcanoes National Park yesterday!

I wound up buying a slightly used Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD VC Aspherical Macro at a great price. Like the Nikon 18-200 I had with my D300, it won't get much use. I visited the USS Arizona Memorial earlier this week. Prior to visiting I was warned about the bag restrictions: "NO...

We're getting ready to leave Oʻahu for Maui this morning. I will finish processing images when we get home next week-end, but I can highly recommend spending a day with Chris and Alex at Oʻahu Photography Tours. They took us to spots we would never have discovered on our own and were a blast. My...

I was playing around with a Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical IF Macro this morning trying to decide whether to buy it from an acquaintance. My wife had some of her favorite flowers, Alstroemeria, on the dining room table. I noticed the sunlight highlighting only a portion of the...

@WhiteLight and @xicaque: Are you doing any offsite methods? I use cloud as my offsite solution as described here. That is my fail-safe as I found myself inconsistent with rotating an external drive.

My awesome wife and I are going to Hawaii at the end of the month. Did I say how awesome she is? She just agreed to spend one of our days on an all-day photo tour. She really is awesome (but don't tell her so it doesn't go to her head). Anyway, the reason I'm posting is to share the incredibly...

I have the grip and wrist strap. Perfect combo iMHO. Go to Settings (top right) then on the left side of the next page loaded you will see Edit Signature.

With that budget look at the ThinkPad W540. It is the only laptop on the planet that can integrate an optional X-Rite® Color Calibrator. It can even be configured to support RAID. If it was my only system (no desktop), it would easily be my choice. Drawback is that this thing is a monster weight...

Very very interesting examples of creativity and why the best zoom lens is your eyes and feet.

Pretty interesting link about how physicists have found a way to process images from smartphones that reveals objects hidden behind materials that scatter light.

One of the best days of the year in my hometown! Amazing images here.

Nice overview of lens correction in LR5:

My March to FX is now complete. (If you're playing along at home, you should be hearing the theme song from "The Bridge Over The River Kwai".) I sold my D300, Nikon 17-55 and Sigma 10-20. In the last month, I bought a used D800, ultra-cheap Nikon 28-105, Sigma 12-24 and Tamron 24-70. Now if I...

I was curious about an OS X product called PicFrame after reading this review on MacWorld. Since the app was only US$0.99, I thought I would give it a shot. (I later learned there is an iOS version but I have not tried it.) This little application allows you to create photo collages. The...

Just a heads up for anyone that hasn't updated their computer recently, but in the Release Candidate notes for Camera Raw 8.4 and DNG Converter 8.4 Mac OS 10.6.x (Snow Leopard), Windows XP and Windows Vista will no longer be supported. Since they were released in 2009, 2002 and 2007...
