    CP+ Imaging Yokohama 2017

    I was able to attend the event last Saturday. Although there were many products to explore, my curiosity on the new Sigma lenses allowed me to cue in to get a feel for the Sigma 135mm f1.8 prime lens. Unfortunately, it won't be available until this March, so like most cameras, we were not able...

    I currently have a Zenfolio pro account and I am contemplating if I should renew my subscription or look else where. Is smugmug any better? Open for suggestions and why you recommend it. Thank you.

    Simple commerce

    I just wanted to share these images with the folks here. This is the small port where I live here in Japan. Right in front of my condo has a lot of things going on. I'll describe more as I post the pictures. The next pictures are actually Subaru SUVs that were transported by trucks and staged...

    Adobe lens profile correction

    Adobe CS6 lens profile correction seems to work just fine in addressing the lens "distortion". What do you guys think? Caution: slight nudity images below. Do not scroll down if this offends you. :D Have a great day!

    My first photo workshop

    I finally had an opportunity to shoot. My cousin (Drew Santos - search him on FB or google), a pro glamour photographer, arranged a photo shoot with a whole bunch of models today and I was invited to participate (free of charge of course). Anyway, I had to take some acetemenophens (motrin...

    Lunar Eclipse: October 8, 2014

    Hi folks. Long time no post. I haven't had the chance to do any computer or photography related activities lately which explains my lack of active participation due to my carpal tunnel syndrome on my right wrist. Anyway, I thought of dropping by and share this picture while most are still...

    What are the better performing "routers" around?

    My Belkin N750 dual band router is either getting old or just plain sucks. My son has an older ASUS RT-N56U which was bought back in 2012 performs much better (I think). Anyone here have used routers that are worthy of being recommended? ASUS apparently has one of the best routers for 2014. What...

    D800E and Nikon 35mm f1.8G DX lens

    I experimented with my only DX lens in my arsenal. I was surprised that I still could get a higher resolution when I used this lens at 1.2x crop factor with my D800E. It can still generate a 17 inch x 25 inch 240 dpi file size or 6144 x 4080 pixels. RAW file size was around 26 mp. D800E at...

    My first wedding photo shoot (kinda)

    I attended my cousin's wedding ceremony last Saturday. Although the couple hired two "Canon" photographers, I stayed out of their way during the actual wedding ceremony as a courtesy. I was one of the sponsors so I had to tuck my cameras away. I was able to shoot some prior to the wedding and...

    Pelican cases 1610 and 1510

    I just received my Pelican 1610 camera case with dividers. This is the case that I will be using to safely secure my equipment. The size difference is enormous compared to the smaller Pelican 1510 which is suitable as a carry-on item.

    Nikon D810

    I'm pretty happy with the specs and performance of the D800E. The new replacement which was assured by NR will have some incremental updates and features. I know I won't be buying one for now since it doesn't give me any reasons to get one. I do love the D800 series camera though. What say you...
