August 26, 2014 By Thomas Stirr 31 Comments

Nikon 1 V2

As an owner of a Nikon 1 V2 and a selection of Nikon 1 lenses I’m always looking for ways to extend the use of this compact-sized camera system. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to try and photograph a waterfall with the Nikon 1 system. When many...

August 24, 2014 By Alpha Whiskey 95 Comments

4 New York Sunset

Sideline Photography Tips (1)

As a dedicated sports photographer I have shot many different sports, mostly concentrating on the action.
