The aging lenses were announced in 2007 and will be smaller and lighter, though more expensive, thanks to the new technology. The flagship D5 should also be announced before the [...]

First off, allow me to preface this post by saying that I regard anything coming from Photography Is Not a Crime with suspicion. From what I’ve learned in life, anyone who is that dogmatic about something is typically biased. With that out of the way, PINAC posted a video showing a June 11th run-in with [...]

One of the things I used to hate when perusing my path as a photographer is when I reached a point where I was uninspired to shoot, or I’d reach a point where I’d feel that my best work is behind me and there is nothing new I can do. These creative dry spells used to happen [...]

I’m going to start with a small admission… I’ve always been about brand-name stuff. There, I said it…

I have had Canon cameras since the a5 (it was the small, boxy predecessor of the Ixus range) and before that, Nikon film cameras (and during, come to think of it) and have always had the mindset that I should purchase Canon lenses for my Canon cameras, always thought that I should buy well known lights and tripods and… (the list, it goes on and on)

I don’t know much about Australian politics, and I barely give a rodent’s rump about American politics, to be honest.

Creating portraits is hard. There’s a lot of technical stuff you need to handle, and you have a real live subject in front of your camera. Even further, they are going to look to you for help to make them... more

When I get angry, I like to break things.  When I get very angry, I like to smash them to smithereens.  It’s like therapy – stuff-shattering therapy.  Granted, this hasn’t happened in a while…perhaps all that self therapy paid off in the long run.  But, regardless, I can identify with the urge to smash the [...]

Sometimes an idea, a thought, a life changing moment is so complex it seems impossible to put into words… well this is exactly that. I sit here as if in front of a blank canvas, unsure how to truly explain everything. For the last 9 months I have struggled with my postpartum body. Unlike with [...]

One hassle with dSLR video is having to attach follow focus rings to your lenses, often with a clunky bracket or closure to hold them in place.  From my experience, these brackets frequently get in the way or have to be adjusted around the lens as your change focusing distance significantly.  Now, perhaps inconvenience is [...]
