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 the [...]
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 Using [...]
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 anyway. [...]
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 5.6 [...]
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.
This book provides a great deal of value by providing 250 photographs sprinkled throughout 192 pages describing the US National Parks. While not a detailed review of each park, you do [...]
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’, ‘excellent’ and [...]
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 go. No [...]
Been looking for a good pair of gloves to use while out in the cold chasing a good photograph? I have….and I think I found them!
I’ve been looking for some for a while. I have a good pair of fleece gloves that work OK but I always ended up taking them off one hand to [...]
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 [...]
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 large [...]
I’ve finally had a chance to sit down and write a review of my Canon 7D (Check prices at B&H, Adorama and Amazon).
It’s a quick review….I love this camera!
My main focus is birds, wildlife and landscapes and this camera is an awesome body for wildlife and birding photography. I’ve got my trusty Canon 5D for [...]
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.
The book is split into 11 different sections:
Digital Basics – In this section, the author provides a basic intro to the world of digital photography.
Exposure – Peterson does a [...]
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 the [...]
