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...

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...

Finis:

What a difference Lightroom makes! Below is a comparison, the first being the new version that I tweaked with Lightroom vs. the original image done in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. The colors are so much more vibrant and and the tones have much more depth. At first I wasn't really sure...
