March 8, 2010We had great weather last weekend in Dallas, reaching a nice 62F, so we decided to hit the Dallas Zoo. It’s probably the first time I’ve got the camera out in a while, excluding some small photo shoots for the office. Lugging around my D70s, and my Sigma 70-200, managed to make a [...]

March 19, 2009I’m a little bit of a photography fan. I might not be great , but I do enjoy playing around with the gear. A few weeks back, Joe McNally announced a new book. I took advantage of Amazon’s pre-ordering, and snapped one up. It arrived today. Now to get reading…

December 23, 2007Ever tried to figure out how to get the perfect exposure? Old time photography pros probably already know all about the Guide Number, but Strobist has a quick guide to the “Guide Number”. It’s a handy bit of information, and I had a play with it this evening. You can dial in [...]
