Field notes and shooting logs are updated after recent visits to Wakodahatchee wetlands and have new information sometimes weekly. Introduction Palm Beach’s Wakodahatchee Wetlands is a 50 acre artificial wetland that was created by the Palm Beach Water …
As I mentioned previously, several users, my self included, have run into problems with Adobe’s Lightroom 2.2 update installation some how resulting in exporting to CDs and DVDs failing to work. They would receive the error message, “Disc burning is not supported by Lightroom on this computer. It has been disabled.” Apparently the problem seems …
I was reminded recently by a rather heated debate that boiled down to a lot of advocating towards specific techniques and technologies, that the how has little to no real meaning in the ultimate ends of photography. You could say in a way that either coincidentally or as a result of the discussion I had …
In the world of digital photography our software is as important to our work as our cameras and lenses. This post comes on the release of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.2, an update that for the moment I’d recommend avoiding if you use the built in disk burning capabilities and run Windows XP or 64-bit Windows …
First off, Nikon has announced their new studio camera, the D3x. A 24 megapixel beast that stands poised to challenge the Canon EOS-1Ds. Well at least if it wasn’t so underwhelming. The D3x doesn’t have nearly the ISO range the D3 and D700 do, and while it does finely give Nikon a serious studio camera …
Very much worth looking at for landscape and wild life photographers. Gallery – 2007 Winners.
DP Review, seems to be my favorite source for camera news at the moment, and they seem to be the first in the field with a review of Canon’s new EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. The short of it, the lens compares favorably to other similar lenses in some respects and not so favorably in …
Continuous release mode is often thought only to be useful when shooting dynamic subjects that are in motion. The burst of frames in rapid succession gives the photographer a better opportunity to catch the exact moment they are trying for. But there is another, often forgotten or maybe unthought-of, use. Often the sharpest images, in …
After what seems like more than a 6 month absence, Travels to the Edge is back on PBS. I just saw my first new episode was recorded, Hokkaido and Honsu Japan. From the little I saw before I decided to watch it later, it looks like more awesome photography. Find your local airing schedule here. …
Photokina wrapped up last week, and I have been trying to following along on the news as best I can. The big news to me was that there wasn’t an awful lot of news, outside of the cameras and lenses I’ve posted about previously. There were a lot of rumors about a new 70-200 VR …
Not really sure what to say about this, so I’ll let the work do the talking for itself. Taming Light – a set on Flickr
Something other than another news post about some lens or camera that’s way out of any reasonable budget for a change. Since writing my original Camera user settings post, I’ve discovered I omitted an SLR as wells as many point and shoots that were capable of using camera user modes. The SLR is the venerable …
I can’t say it’s unexpected, in fact it’s been long awaited, and if you even remotely follow what Nikon has been doing with their cameras the idea that Nikon was moving away from their old in-body auto-focus system towards an in-lens system has pretty clear. All new professional glass has been made AF-S with silent …
In my previous post (here) I mentioned that I hadn’t found any information on whether the 5D Mark 2 would have an AF-On button on it’s new designed battery grip. My concern was that even though the grip isn’t compatible with the old 5D, Canon would inexplicably leave the control off like they did on …
