I'm posting this test that I made specifically for the newbie photographers who are just getting their feet wet in photography. Some people learn faster or better when you see the physical difference instead of just theory. To get you started, here is a blog from a website that illustrates how...

I just wanted to share this image. The colors look over saturated but that's how it is and I love vivid colors. CCs are always welcome and appreciated. :) D8HE Knotts Berry Farm by gqtuazon, on Flickr

We are heading to San Diego, California from Japan this July. I can't seem to figure out which bags to carry with me. I would like to bring my pelican bag but I'm afraid I might experience some trouble with the weight restrictions. My other alternate choice is my Lowepro sling bag but I don't...

I'm too cheap to buy a dedicated macro lens since there are only few times in a year when I really like to shoot macro. After analyzing what I have in my camera bags, the Nikkor 135mm f2.8 Ai lens came to my mind and decided to just include an extension tube. After finding a mint (looks new...

I just sent my Nikon D80 to www.lifepixel.com in order to have my camera converted to UVIR + full spectrum. I was wondering if the site can include this UV / IR Photogragraphy category. BTW: lifepixel is now offering a discounted conversion for $275 on Nikon cameras.

This is something to start your day depending on your time zone. :) Peace to all! An old country farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From morning till night she was always complaining about something. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with his...

After trying both cameras, I am now a believer of this new technology. Simply awesome cameras. One must try it to appreciate the performance of these two cameras. The D800 with its larger LCD screen can provide more details when viewing images that you just took which matches the 36mp beast...

I found a bargain flash that was released back in 2002. It is the perfect size for my Fuji X10 which works very well using manual flash. More about the flash can be read here. I got it for 2000 yen or around $26...

I know there are a lot of websites and forums that covers just about anything. About 3 years ago when I started participating on some of the photography forums, it was huge and it was addicting. Nowadays, I don't feel so active anymore. Is it because I've reached the point that I have learned...
