Earlier this week I made a quick trip to Letchworth State Park and I spent a few hours taking photographs. The autumn colours will soon disappear for another season so I was very happy to squeeze in this visit. (more…)
Nikon D750 Review
The full-frame Nikon D750 DSLR was introduced in 2014 during the Photokina show in Germany. Packing Nikon's advanced 51-point Multi-CAM 3500 FX II autofocus system, a 24 MP sensor, 6.5 FPS continuous shooting speed, built-in WiFi, and a very lightweight weather-sealed construction, the D750 sits between the D610 and the...
Street Photography in Greece
As a follow up to my recent Images in Greece article, this piece features some examples of street photography done while in Greece. This style of photography by its very nature is a very personal thing. What appeals to one person may leave others scratching their heads. So if you’re...
Photographing High School Lacrosse
Lacrosse, like American Football, is played on a large field, however the differences between the two sports are numerous. The ball used in Lacrosse is quite small, so you need a sharp eye to follow it. The helmets worn by the players cover most of their faces with a grid...
Images of Greece
Like many couples, my wife and I talked about going to Greece for many years. Fortunately for us the stars aligned this fall and we were able to go on a bus tour/island hopping holiday. While this type of holiday is not ideal from a photography standpoint it did allow...

A Week With X-E2: Thoughts on EVF
I pick up the camera and, for what feels like a hundredth time, get surprised by its low weight. It's not what you'd call hollow, more like... tightly packed. There might be a couple of areas where you touch and feel mild disappointment - the control wheel at the back...

Nikon D750 for Wildlife and Landscape Photography
Just when my wallet was getting over the hangover from buying a D810, along comes the Nikon D750, a 24mp full frame DSLR with an improved AF-system and 30 percent faster burst rate than the D810. Both are great attributes for the wildlife shooter. Moreover, the D750 sports a new...
Nikon MB-D12 vs Vello BG-N7 for Nikon D810
The battery grip has to be the most overpriced accessory in photography. Think about it – it’s a plastic/composite case filled with batteries and a few switches – that’s it. How come a Nikon MB-D12 costs $399 and the batteries aren’t even included? The Nikon D3300 body costs a bit...
