Family Pet Weekly Challenge Mar. 23 - Mar. 30 Sorry for the delay in getting this one posted, folks. As such, this contest will only run for 6 days instead of the usual 7. I made several attempts to contact the winner of the "Contrast" challenge, but to no avail. When this happens, I...

Just an FYI in case you didn't already know...the moon will be the biggest its going to be for a long time over the next few days. I believe tomorrow night will be the 100% full moon, but I'm not certain. There were clear skies tonight, and figured I'd better take advantage now and hope for the...

I typically ignore recommendations from Amazon. I went there awhile back to purchase a single book, and their automated system suggested that I upgrade to a three pack. So I did, and I'm glad that I did. These are all very good reads: Professional Business Practices in Photography - ASMP...

We have 4 of them that we can customize...just curious as to what you guys are using here, if anything. So far, I just have A-Normal and B-Action Sports (which has settings as described here). Got an MMA event to shoot this weekend, I'm anxious to try those out.

Contrast Weekly Challenge Mar. 9 - Mar. 16 According to Merriam-Webster, Contrast is defined to be "a juxtaposition of dissimilar elements (as color, tone, or emotion) in a work of art". It's also "the difference or degree of difference between things having similar or comparable...

I live in rural Ohio. It's not exactly an environment that lends itself to natural beauty. I got to thinking today, that if I received some kind of grant money to travel and take pictures, where would I go? There are at least 10 places that are on my list, and I bet you have some too. Here's...

Kind of a bold title, eh? At any rate, just thought I would post up a link to one of the textbooks we've been using for my college coursework. Check it out on Amazon. Yes, it's expensive. It's also the best book on photography I've ever read, and well worth it. This bad boy covers all the...

I'd like to suggest a pro photographer forum. Someplace where pricing, techniques, marketing, and other business ideas can be discussed. This forum should be heavily moderated and require a password to enter, so that it's not displayed to the general viewing public. Members should be verified...

Okay, I give up. I want to assign a custom [BKT] function to the former aperture preview button. Did that, no problem. But it's not working. I can hold the button down, which is supposed to allow me to use the control dials to select EV and # of bracketed exposures...but it's not. I don't...
