I recently did my 2nd video review for the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip System. This is a nice product – but for me it doesn’t work due to the clip’s arca plate design. It’s a great belt-clip system and I recommend it…but it doesn’t work for me.

February 28, 2012 By 2 Comments
I picked up an Induro BHL-3 Ballhead this past week for a new tripod. While looking at buying this ballhead, I looked for some reviews…and found very few independent reviews. So…I put a video review together of the BHL3 ballhead. In addition, I compare it to my Really Right Stuff (RRS) BH-55. So far, I highly [...]
Moose Peterson’s Guide to Wildlife Photography – Book Review
May 4, 2010 By 2 Comments
I’m a huge Moose Peterson fan and recently found “Moose Peterson’s Guide to Wildlife Photography: Conventional and Digital Techniques (A Lark Photography Book)” at the local Half Price Books store. I was a little hesitant to buy it since it was printed in 2003, which is a quite a long time ago in photography equipment [...]

March 9, 2010 By 4 Comments
I picked up the Adorama’s 4-way Focusing Rails recently to try out with my wife’s Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X Macro lens. Adorama lists 2 versions of their 4-way Focusing Rails…one for ~$180 and a budget one for ~$80. I’m not sure what the difference is between the two but based on recommendations, I picked [...]

Rather than giving you more tips and hints for SEO and marketing your photography services on the web, I thought I’d take some time to point you toward a book that will answer all your questions and give you all the background you need to start properly marketing yourself. The book? Inbound Marketing: Get Found [...]
Canon 50mm f/1.2 L Lens Review
February 25, 2010 By 4 Comments
I borrowed my wife’s Canon 50mm f/1.2 L lens today….and figured I’d do a review of this stunning lens. This thing is built like a tank but isn’t too heave…and it produces some excellent photographs. Before I continue…I am NOT the target user for a 50mm lens but I thought I’d write this review up [...]

February 15, 2010 By 3 Comments
I’ve previously written up a short review of this lens (see my post titled “Canon 400mm 5.6 L USM- Mini review“) but wanted to follow it up with another, more in-depth review. Although I recently fell in love with the Canon 500mm f/4 L IS USM lens after renting it from Borrowlenses.com, the Canon 400mm [...]

One of the gifts I received this past Christmas was a book titled “National Audubon Society Guide to Photographing America’s National Parks” by Tim Fitzharris.

Canon 500mm f/4.0 L IS USM Review – An amazing lens
February 11, 2010 By 2 Comments
What can I say about the Canon 500mm lens? I love this lens! I can’t really add much more to the great reviews that already exists on this lens. There are tons of good reviews on the Canon 500mm out there. When you read those reviews, you see words like ‘superb’, ‘super lens’, ‘tack sharp’, [...]
Follow-up review of Freehands Gloves
February 3, 2010 By 4 Comments
I’ve had the opportunity to get out into the field with my new pair of Freehands Gloves (see my initial review here). Do I like these gloves? Nope. I love them! These gloves have made my life so much nicer when out shooting in the cold. Throw the gloves on, pull the fingers back and [...]

Canon EOS 7D Digital Field Guide Book Review
January 19, 2010 By 1 Comment
I’ve been reading through the Canon EOS 7D Digital Field Guide by Charlotte Lowrie and have to say that I’m impressed with the book. I’ve never bought a book like this before having always relied on the manual that came with the camera and other online guides. While I still like the camera manual and [...]

January 14, 2010 By 6 Comments
I picked up the Think Tank Airport Acceleration 2.0 recently to act as my main bag while traveling. I’ve been looking for a new backpack for a few months to replace my current backpack, a Tamrac Adventure 9. The Tamrac is a good backpack and is perfect for a quick trip around town without a [...]

I received Bryan Peterson’s “Understanding Photography Field Guide: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera” for Christmas and haven’t been able to put it down since.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet Review
January 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I’ve been using the Wacaom Bamboo Fun for the last few weeks and, while it isn’t the ‘big’ wacom tablet, it is pretty darn close and well worth a look if you’re looking for a tablet. I’ve got the medium format Bamboo Fun and its a bit bigger than I expected. Once I got over [...]
