Up until recent years, memory cards for cameras were all about the same. Sure there were different sizes and shapes, but as far as memory went, there was very little difference between them. In 2005, a small startup in Mountain View, CA changed the way we think about memory cards and shooting photos. A new [...]

I will admit right off the bat that I have a photo and laptop bag obsession. There, now that’s out of the way. :) I have been eying this particular bag for a while due to it’s large amount of storage and it holds a 15″ laptop on top of all the photo gear. This [...]

I recently went on a photo shoot with a friend of mine to the abandoned town of Drawbridge, CA. I needed to rent a lens because I recently sold the majority of my lenses with my old Nikon D40 camera body. This only left me with my Nikon 35mm f/1.8. A fantastic lens for sure, [...]

I personally use Aperture and love it! The particular plugin I used for this image was SilverEfexPro. A fantastic little plugin, [...]

This past saturday was the Second Annual Worldwide Photowalk! I had an absolute blast going out with the group of 50 people and taking amazing photos. My photowalk location was San Jose, CA. A great time was had by all. I shot around 300 or so photos and exported around 150 out of Aperture and [...]

I have been using a new lens for the past couple weeks! The Carl Zeiss Distagon 2/35 ZF. This lens has a Nikon F mount so it fits right on my Nikon DSLR. This lens only works in Manual mode, so it was a little intimidating at first! You have to adjust your Aperture, ISO, [...]

It has often been said that Apple hardware is a thing of beauty, and I have to agree. Just look at this Apple Xserve RAID array, stunning! Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1/125 ISO: 200 Focal Length: 35 Camera Body: Nikon D40 Camera Lens: Nikon 18-55
