Just noticed this today...on the left in our profile stuff, where it used to say "Camera:" it now says "daf:" LOL! :confused:

Here's a good article from Light Stalking: The Three Types of Photographic Criticism and How to Handle Them. Some good tips in there! What are your thoughts?

If no one else is going to play... White Orchids. Next photo must begin with S.

WTD = What the Duck. This is the only comic strip I know of dedicated to photographers.

I'm a fan of street photography, but this guy takes it to a whole new level! What does everyone think of his paparazzi-style tactics?

Since the D40 doesn't have bracketing mode, here's a "hack" that should give you the results you're looking for: First, it's important to realize that DSLRs do not have a wide dynamic range like our eyes do. Not even the most expensive ones. If there are a lot of different lighting going on...

Every Tuesday night is Biker Night down at a local watering hole. They usually have live bands as well...but I go for the bikes! I went with a B&W conversion on this one because I really liked the way it brought out the texture of the hand grip. C&C welcome!

How would you like to be this guy? He paid $45 for a box of photo plates 10 years ago. It turns out there's some rare Ansel Adams stuff in there valued at over $200 million. CNN story.

Yellow. Next photo must begin with W.

For a very recent example, check out this article. In the U.S., it is perfectly legal for you to take photographs in public situations. I have seen this debate rage on over discussion forums, but the fact remains: This is true anywhere in the U.S. and is not unique to NYC or Washington D.C...

Top 10 reasons to have your camera gear insured. #3: Taking unexpected trips.

Is anyone else into off-camera flash lighting, a la Strobist style? In a previous thread, I posed a question about non-Nikon flashes. Yesterday I decided to take the plunge to start building my setup and did in fact buy the Strobist recommended LumoPro LP160. Initially, my setup will be...

As for myself, I have two low cost gadgets that are in my bag: The first is just a bit over the $25 price cap, but I think it bears mentioning here because it's incredibly useful and is also along the lines of Eduard's suggestion. I use Professor Kobre's LightScoop, which weighs in @ $29.95...

Let's get interactive and start up a photography game! This one is called the "Last Letter Game" and is very simple. I will start by posting a photo along with an accompanying title. The next person to post must then put up an image whose title begins with last letter of my title. For...

I frequently add a vignette to my photos. I'm a huge fan of Lomography, and that washed-out old school vintage look. It's kind of amusing to take a photograph from a $1200 camera and make it appear to have come from a cheap film camera from the 80's. I don't use vignettes for portraits only...

What HDR programs does anyone use? Photomatix seems to be the most popular. I've given the trial version a test drive and it seems to do everything I want it to. They also have a Photoshop plug-in that is a bit cheaper, but it somewhat limited in its tone mapping capabilities.

This is a cool concept and is well put together. I'm not a portrait guy either, but the lighting looks good to me. I think the cropping could be better. It wouldn't take much to re-size some of these a little bit so that fingers and ears aren't cut off. I also think that in making the large...

I'm curious to know who uses non-proprietary brand flashes with their Nikon cameras? I've had the privilege of working with a pro who swears by a Sunpak 383. The very popular Strobist.com recommends using a LumoPro LP160 for off-camera sync lighting. This particular flash has the power and...
