Where do you look for advice or insight when in the market for a new lens? Friends? Like-minded photo enthusiasts? Or perhaps the local photo store? Whatever you prefer, we have built a new lens finder to start you off in the right direction.
Read MoreYeah! got around to upgrade my site to the new squarespace6 platform. And what a difference.
Read MoreNo match, really. Seconds after getting caught in the web, the spider scuttles over just to tangle its prey even more securely in the sticky threads. Being at the bottom of the food chain is never fun. Made for some great photography, though.
Read MoreBeing a still photographer, I have always had just lukewarm feelings towards DSLR video. Shooting with the Nikon D5100 sure warmed up my view. I absolutely dig the video. So, what changed? Well, first off the D5100 all-round is an awesome camera. Great build quality, good ergonomics, tilting LCD in top-notch 920k dot resolution, and a 16mp best-in-class sensor.

To be precise, Vancouver actually had two Help-Portrait events going on that day. One at Carnegie Hall and one at Union Gospel Mission on Heatley Avenue. Having two events speaks volume of the city's giving spirit and open-mindedness.
Read MoreCan photography be a charitable event? According to Help-Portrait, a new photography movement on the rise, yes.
Read MoreWhen Sony's engineers thought: "hm! who says the mirror has to flip up and down? Why not just use a translucent mirror instead and let some light pass up to the viewfinder, and the rest directly through to the sensor?" they were on to something. The TIME concurred and put the Sony A55 (the A33's bigger brother) on their 2010 top-50 inventions. Pretty cool!
