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...

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

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...
