And yes, I'm serious:

Set your ISO @ 200. Set your Aperture @ f/8. Put your camera on a tripod and press the button. Easy as lyin'. You'll undoubtedly have to fiddle with things to get a proper exposure (and it will be a long one, probably a second or two). But just because your flash sync speed is 1/250 doesn't...

Or, to put it another way....

This pic. If you don't know the difference, odds are you're not editing in 16-bit anyway...so nevermind. 8-bit is capable of producing about 16.8 million colors, which is more than the human eye can see anyway. 16-bit is in the trillions. Some photographers (including myself) edit in...

DSLR owners like to accessorize with the add-ons. It makes us look cool to our fellow shutterbugs. Tripods BMF lenses Bags Straps Grips GPS unit We all aspire to be just like this guy:

Alphabet Shapes Weekly Challenge October 28-November 9 This challenge was inspired by an assignment that every photography student must do. Patterns emerge in nature: around the block, on your way to work, when you look out the window. They exist as part of your daily routine. Your challenge...

I live in rural Ohio, in a county of roughly 50,000 residents. The county seat (in which I live) has a population of about 18,000. Scattered about are several smaller communities. As I have written here before, this past summer, I was a photography intern for the local newspaper. I have...

Monotone Weekly Challenge October 19-26 The winner of the Vanishing Point challenge was Johnathan Aulabaugh. He issued this challenge and will be judging the entries. Lets see your best monotones! From B&W to sepia, you pick the color, as long as there is only one. As always, this is about...

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. At least half of you were thinking about Bob Ross here.

I got a chance to play with my new backdrop on Sunday. Unfortunately, I can't color change it with gels like I wanted to. At least not with speedlights...they just don't have enough power to evenly distribute light. Looks like I have an excuse to pick up another AlienBees B800 so that I can...

May your coffers be filled with new camera gear!
