Bleeding edge, that is. Did some pondering and cyphering today (just wish it was by a cement pond). There's lots of time for it when you're in a 40 mile funeral procession. With almost $100 in B&H dollars in my account I decided to pull the trigger on a D7100 pre-order. Went back and forth...

An interesting take on why more megapixels is "better", even if you're not printing big or cropping severely. The Bigger Reason Why Megapixels Matter for Photo Enthusiasts | The Luminescence of Nature Photography Blog

A friend of mine sent me this link. Absolutely fascinating photographer, whose work may never have seen the light of day. http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/02/18/found-at-auction-the-unseen-photographs-of-a-legend-that-never-was/ Can't wait to see the documentary.

There's stuff that I find that I think will be of interest related to photography in general, but not to any particular type of photography, and yet it doesn't belong in Off Topic, so I struggle where to put it. Any chance we can get something generic?

My experience with shooting my D600 side by side with my D7000 over the past few months has me thinking that abandoning DX for a complete move to FX may be the right thing for me to do. Not that the D7000 is a slouch, but the IQ on the D600 is that much better, and with the D800 I believe I'd...

There are several people here doing 365 projects and the like, so I thought this might interest and inspire some of them, and also inspire those of us who just look for the photos in every day life. About a year ago my brother was telling me about a printing project he was doing for a guy named...

I purchased this last October with the intention of making it my primary walking around lens for my D7000. Less than a month later the D600 sale had me moving to FX and this lens became redundant. This is an FX lens. That said, if you read reviews if it gets any knocks it's at the corners and...

"As New" 55-200mm zoom. I got this with a D90 in a trade with my Mother In-Law who found that DSLR photography was "not as easy as it looks". To my knowledge this lens was only used in the shop that she purchased it and never again until I tested it yesterday. No scratches of any kind, perfect...

"Almost New" 18-105mm zoom. I got this with a D90 in a trade with my Mother In-Law who found that DSLR photography was "not as easy as it looks". It's never lived without its UV filter and has probably taken less than 100 photos - a lot less. Comes with everything you see here, including the...

Purchased this in early 2011 when I first into DSLR photography. Has served me well but is largely unused two years down the road. Original lens hood cracked when it was dropped (the hood, not the lens) just weeks after I bought it. I repaired it but also purchased a new one, which I never...

It seems that when I go back into a post to edit it (using Firefox 17 & 18, and Google Chrome) I will lose paragraph formatting. For example, what used to be this... This is sentence one, paragraph one. And this is sentence two. So let's start a new paragraph, shall we?! Will become...

Filter size is also specified clearly on the back of your lens cap. I differ sightly from these recommendations. Buy the best filter you can afford, but don't think your compromising by not spending at least a certain amount. I've got a Hoya CPF (67mm) that I'm very happy with that I spent...

While roaming around and shooting in FL last week, while I was firing away with my camera my wife was often next to me trying to grab stuff with her Android phone and getting frustrated. It was then that I finally realized that I might have a use for a Wifi card, if only to fire off jpgs to my...

With no pets at home I don't get the opportunity to shoot them that often, so when my niece's puppy settled down I took the opportunity. It's a mix of stuff that has nothing do do with a dalmation, but it's got spots, so as I've done with all her animals I quickly gave it a nickname - "The...

Wasn't sure where to stick this thread, so I figured Film SLR's is as good as any. Pretty cool video of some of the earliest color film shots.

Been enjoying my time in FL. If you need to spend time at the in-laws, it's nice when you can step outside and the wildlife comes to you. There's a pair of Red Shouldered Hawks that nest 100 feet from their front door. This may or may not be one of them, but it was making a heck of a racket...

These guys have been all over the news in the last month, but in case you haven't seen it, there are a pair of nesting Bald Eagles in Fort Myers, FL that live their lives in public, 24x7, via a webcam set up by the owners of the property (makes for great advertising too, eh?). They just happen...

Better B&W Conversion using Photoshop/Elements I put together a blog post demonstrating a method I learned from my brother on how to use multiple Hue/Saturation layers in Photoshop Elements to do better B&W conversions. This works great in Elements but is obviously adaptable to full blown...
