As many of you already know, I work for a tech company. We also build PCs, so I've been working with our engineers on a new configuration that is based on one of the gamer models. I will take delivery of this beast today: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit Intel Core i7-950 3.06GHz 12GB DDR3 memory 1TB HDD...

How many of you know what an RSS reader is? I recently read a survey that most people have no idea, so don't feel bad if you're one of them. Have you ever seen this symbol?: Ah...now bells are ringing! This is the universal RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) symbol. If you...

Many of you have I'm sure, formed the opinion that I have a serious dislike for pro photographers, due to some of my responses on these forums. While this is true to a certain degree, it's an incorrect assumption. I have nothing but respect for those at the top of this profession. It's the...

Thinking about a serious lighting upgrade to a couple B800s, stands, and 2.5x5ft light boxes along w/ Pocket Wizards to trigger them. Any Alien Bees users here?

As I mentioned in another post, I replaced my D90 kit lens with an upgrade from Tamron. I'm looking to get a 67mm filter kit, which will fit both lenses. Most of these starter kits come with 3 filters. Usually a CPL, UV, and ND filter...but there are variations. What would you recommend?

I finally replaced my general purpose D90 kit lens with a Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD. This lens is held in pretty high regard and has some outstanding reviews. It ranks right up there, and even outperforms its Nikon and Canon counterparts in a few areas...and is much less...

NSFW - Not Safe for Work! I don't know that there are any rules against this, so I'll post it and hope for the best. If you're offended by nudity, then turn back now. I've taken some precautions here and covered the R-rated bits. This is about posing and lighting, and not naked...

I was in Cub Scouts when I was a kid, and remember it being quite fun...until the Pinewood Derby of 1983. The Pack Leader's son was allowed to enter an out of spec car, which of course won the race. Fast forward 25 years. Yes, I hold a grudge. My fiancee's son is in Cub Scouts and it's time...

Doorways Weekly Challenge Jan. 11-19 This week's challenge is very straightforward and simple. Take your best shot of a doorway. Get those creative juices flowing...the shot can be straight on of a closed multi-colored doorway like the example, or you can shoot an open door showing shadows...

Been thinking about getting this lens. Or possibly the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, as I've read that either one is comparable to the Nikkor version at about half the price. Will be using one of these for MMA fights. Does anyone have experience w/ either lens?

I didn't want to say anything until it was all official-like. And now that it is... I have transferred schools, and will no longer be pursuing a degree in IT. After some soul-searching and analysis of the lousy IT market, I decided that was no longer a viable path for me. I'm not really...

Danbo Discovers the Pipe Wrench This little guy is so much fun to take photos of. There's even a few Danbo dedicated groups on Flickr. If you've got some patience, you can shop for one online...mine is from a comic book store, all the way from Japan.
