Now that my internship is drawing to a close, I will have a lot more free time to work on personal projects. I feel a bit guilty starting this whole 365 thing here (8 months ago now!) on Nikonites and not participating in it myself. The keyword here is "personal". I plan on including a lot of...

Original story. As everyone here knows, I typically favor editing. I think photo tweaks are part of the artistry of photography. Photojournalism is the exception to this rule. I agree with the AP's disciplinary action on this. Journalistic photos should not be edited in a way that alters...

It's summertime here in the states. I don't know about the rest of you, but for Ohio residents, that means county fair season. Livestock competitions, the demolition derby, horse racing, and...fine arts contests. Is anyone entering any photos? Have you already won some ribbons? Let's see...

Google+ is Google's answer to social media, designed to compete directly with Facebook. It's not open to the general public yet, but it will be soon. It's pretty cool, but it's going to be a tough job uprooting 500 million Facebook users. Anyway, here's a little snippet from the Google+ terms...

Let's see your fireworks photos from the 4th of July!

Is it just me or has the site been running ungodly slow these past few days?

Gonna break the rules here and post two photos. Both of these are 5 shot HDR images, courtesy of Photomatix/Lightroom/Photoshop. Found this old tractor by the roadside. There were several other pieces of farm equipment nearby, so I had to shoot down low to hide the hay baler that was just...

If you read the terms and conditions of just about any website, contest, or contract related to photography, odds are you've come across a rights grab. And if you participate in social media at all, you've been subjected to losing the rights to your work...and didn't even know it. What is a...

Check this out. Canon is using new wireless technology at the US Open Golf Tournament.

Clicky. These are $140 for demo units if you're the save-every-penny type. They're only $160 brand spanking new. These guys really need to start paying me for advertising. The LumoPro LP160 is a full-manual flash that is recommended by the very popular Strobist site. This is a very...
