Good lord, I forgot to post any pictures from the 2007 Wings of Hope Air Show here. I was there in a press capacity and fulfilled obligations to get images to the folks that I was shooting for, but never got my sampler out here for comment.
Please go take a look and let me [...]

As anyone can tell, I have an Amazon Associates store that I have connected to my blog. That way when I review something, and you, the reader, are sooo compelled that you must buy it RIGHT NOW, you can. So when I saw that Amazon was offering context ads, I thought I would give it [...]

While on vacation, I finally had a chance to do a little project I had been planning for a while. A few months ago I got the UCS Lego Batmobile (Set 7784) for about a third of msrp. I had also been playing with Nikon Camera Control for a little while and had been trying [...]

I’ve been holding out on everyone. Just over a week ago I wandered into Rivers Camera in Dover to pick up something I had ordered, and there, on the shelf was the highly sought out 70-300 AF-S with VR. I’ve been watching this lens slowly hit “In Stock” status and disappear very quickly at all [...]

I love happy accidents. When they happen, you think wow, why didn’t I think of purposely doing that. While playing with lighting last night I accidentally hit the zoom ring on my lens. What came out of it was a pretty badly ghosted image, but it showed potential. Now, I’m sure I’ve seen this technique [...]

I’m not a morning person. Don’t even bother talking to me about anything, unless it’s work related and I’m at work, before I have at least a cup of coffee. That’s what makes this a little more amazing to me. In a lull in the Christmas morning festivities, I happened to look over at my [...]

For this review, I took a few photos for comparison with the D40 and the D70. I set up a tripod roughly 80 inches from our Christmas tree and cycled through the zoom levels on each lens. I set both cameras to auto mode, allowing each camera to take the picture as it wishes, which [...]

One of the interesting features of the D40 is it’s display of settings like shutter speed and aperture. Above you can see a close-up of the screen. For the photo, I set the camera into aperture priority mode. This means I can set how much light is allowed in through the lens. The left concentric [...]

Let me start off by saying, I am not a professional photographer. Or for some of you, that’s request.getParameter(”Mike”) != “Pro Photographer”. (BTW, I know that’s not a correct string comparison, so don’t write me.) In college I majored in New Media, with a focus in web development. That offered me the unique opportunity to [...]
