Just wanted to share these pictures that I took 3/9/13 in Miurakaigan just south west of Tokyo. They are in full bloom already and they attract a lot of people. Can't blame them. Sakura with mustard and their yellow flowers bloomed in sequence. Very interesting combination. For your viewing...

I finally get the chance to compress the video. Vertical Horizon: Everything you need. Taken during their "Tribute to the troops" concert. D800e, 85mm f1.4 @ f1.4, 1/50, ISO 3200, Nikon ME-1 mic, monopod. HD 1080p converted to vimeo HD. I think the camera performed very well with this...

Some prefer to control everything such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO. During my visit to Tokyo Disneyland with the cold weather and wearing thick gloves, I didn't have time to experiment what ISO I was going to use. With the electrical parade only happening once that night, I had no time...

I must say that in this condition, most cameras will not work well. Under extreme near pitch black conditon, the camera was able to focus and take very good pictures with spot on AF accuracy. D800E, M mode, 1/60, f1.8, ISO 4000, no flash of course. I used a Sigma 85mm f1.4 HSM lens and shot...

I just wanted to start a thread for this lens which I happen to acquire recently. I don't know why I didn't get it much sooner but I'm glad I did. I'll be adding more images as I use it more often. Not really for macro work but close to it and for flower shots. Feel free to share your...

I just ordered the Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR macro lens. I would like to ask if anyone shoots macro and what kind of flash do you recommend i.e. ring flash, speed light with diffusers, etc. Thanks.

I finally invested on a dedicated video head for my cameras. My Arca-swiss Z1 is arguably the best ballhead around but it doesn't work well when I shoot video. It was a little bit jittery whenever I pan from side to side. The Manfrotto 701HDV fluid video head appears to be a good economical...

Well, at least you have attended a formal class in photography. I had zero. As another passionate photographer, I try to learn from other forums, watch their tutorial videos and learn how to use my camera. I have visited just about every forums including Canon, Sony, Fuji and other...

Due to lack of interesting subjects to shoot, I'll just post these memory cards. I think I over did it since I barely fill my 16gb cards. Nikon 24-70mm @70mm, f4, 1/40, ISO 200, bounce flash D800E SD cards by gqtuazon, on Flickr
