I know some folks have talked about using Facebook to promote their photography business. I saw this free download on the Photoshelter blog and thought I'd pass it on. The Photographer?s Guide to Facebook | PhotoShelter

I got my Sigma 15mm Fisheye yesterday and have been itching to get out and shoot, so rainy day or not I took a drive to Easton, PA which I figured would present me with some interesting opportunities to shoot with it. Before going, however, I will admit to becoming a little perplexed, and then...

I mentioned this in one of my threads last night, but since I have heard nothing in response I thought I'd just air this out here. I appreciate what you moderators do, but when I come back to a post and see that a moderator has edited it, I would really appreciate it if they could leave a...

So a couple months ago I was lamenting not having a full frame fisheye. I also stated that I was in a quandary over just how "wide" the Sigma 15mm Fish is since it states that it has a 180 degree horizontal view, but photos on the web just didn't seem to suss that out - at least not...

I have to imagine that had I planned a trip to "see" the Grand Canyon and encountered this I would have been rather disappointed. And yet, to be able to photograph this rare anomaly would be rather cool. Rare Temperature Inversion Creates River of Clouds Inside the Grand Canyon | Colossal

I mentioned this in another post, but I thought I'd lay it all out here. I'm a big fan of Sigma lenses, and while I know some have had issues with their customer service department, my lone experience with them when my 150-500mm broke was extremely good with them repairing and returning my lens...

I finally got a crystal clear morning and went to a spot that had the tallest and clearest view of the eastern sky. Brought my 150-500mm, which isn't the brightest thing out there, nor the sharpest wide open, but this comet isn't the biggest. With the naked eye and even with binoculars there...

I just got my refurb 24-120mm delivered last night and I was surprised to see that the normal 5 year warranty card was in the box with it. I would have thought that a refurb lens coming from Nikon would not have included this paperwork, but it was wrapped up just like every other brand new...

Saw this today. Apparently there's a compatibility issue between the two that Sigma has fixed, but it'll take some hoop jumping to get them to work. To Fix AF Issue With Nikon D5300 Sigma Will Release Firmware Upgrade - The Phoblographer If I had this camera and was considering a Sigma lens...

I happened to bounce over to the Nik Google+ page today and saw this photo posted there... (c) Suzanne Haggarty ... and I was very taken by it. I was also perplexed by what I saw in the skies and the foreground and how it was produced while not losing the detail in waves. I wandered over to...

Not sure if it's going to be photo worthy where you are, but you never know. Tonight between 7:30-9PM ET. Nighttime Rocket Launch Tuesday Visible from US East Coast | Space.com

I may complain about the French at times (though not here), but they sure know how to make a statement. French Newspaper ‘Liberation’ Removes All Images In Support Of Photographers I love how they left the holes where the photos would be, and then offered a look at the same paper with only the...

...comes this guy. Michael Paul Smith's Imaginary Miniature Elgin Park World I remember doing stuff like this as a kid, but with much poorer results. Not photo manipulation ... but perspective manipulation?

The advent of Photoshop has made it possible to create images that the viewer can marvel at, while never really knowing whether or not they were actually captured that way. Personally, I have no issue with extreme image manipulation, provided that it's never passed off as if it came out of the...

Just saw this announcement this morning. Unveiled: New Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens | BH inDepth I love my Sigma 150-500mm, but if I was in the market for one today I believe I'd wait and see at what price this comes to market, and how it looks wide open at the top end...

My father and his parents were survivors of the holocaust, as well as the atrocities of Josef Stalin, and they spent 2 years in forced labor at a dynamite factory very near to where the Leica factory was in Wetzlar before being freed by the Allies. For as much as I've learned about this period...

I was fortunate enough to land front row seats to see a couple guitar heroes of mine, Roger McGuinn and Marty Stuart, at the Musikfest Cafe in Bethlehem, PA on Friday night. I was even more fortunate that the venue and artist do not prohibit still photography. So, armed with my D600 and my...

I suspect this is something that might be pretty nice to add to your bag of tricks, providing a rather nice and easy 360 pano for your customers. It may also make you lives difficult when the offices you work for decide to invest in them. Bublcam: 360º Camera Technology for Everyone by Bubl...

I don't shoot portraits, at least not yet, but there's a world of wisdom in this piece, so I've bookmarked it so I can come back to it. There have been several posts about doing senior portraits here of late and I believe there's a lifetime of terrific advice in here. Portrait Photography Tips

Read this on one of the photography blogs I regularly visit. Given that I'm almost in the "50 & over, male" demographic I read it with great interest, if only to see if personal prejudices are blinding me to aspects of photography that I should really be concentrating on. I'll reserve comment...
