    D800E in Japanese Kimono

    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...

    Nikon 18–140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens

    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...

    Life cycle of the Cicadas

    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...

    Portrait critique request: Melissa

    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...

    Samyang 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Tilt-Shift Lens review

    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

    Travel lens for Full Frame

    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...

    Primes Primes!

    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...
