In this episode, we’ll talk about the importance of knowing when to stop shooting and when to keep going. From there, we’ll talk about when it’s time to upgrade to mirrorless, if you should keep your boxes (yeah, it’s weird), and if you should use VR / Stabilization when using a tripod.
Lots of great stuff this time, so grab a warm drink, your favorite earbuds, and take a listen. …
Do you have your camera set to automatically add copyright information to your images? If not, why not? Digital theft is at an all time high and adding copyright data to your images can add another layer of protection in the event of a dispute.
However, it’s important to know the correct way to add the information to give yourself maximum protection – and most people do it wrong. In …
Yup – I’m doing podcasts now!
In this first episode, I’ll share a secret I use for better shadow pulling, plus we have our first Q&A session! This episode’s questions will tackle my feelings on used gear, how aspect ratios work, and what I currently think of the Nikon Z cameras for wildlife photography (brace yourself).
Also, I’d love to hear your feedback in the comment section below 😀
Please …
Here it is! I’ve had a TON of requests over the years for a “What’s in my bag” video. The trouble is, what’s in my bag varies by location. So, I decided to start with the wildlife kit I use when I’m in Costa Rica. However, this is also a really great “general purpose” wildlife kit as well.
For this video, we’ll discuss not only what’s in the bag, but …
So, I talk to a LOT of people who are excited about Nikon’s new products (although this post applies to any manufacturer) but there’s often an issue with availability.
In fact, I get e-mails and comments on a regular basis from people asking if I know anything about a particular product’s availability (and no, I don’t).
However, there is a simple little trick for finding hard-to-get gear. In fact, I …
Stuff happens.
You send your camera in for repair and it comes back reset to factory defaults. You mess around in the menus, things get out of hand, and you can’t get back to the way things were. You get a second identical body and want a quick way to get your settings from one camera to another.
Well, if you’re using a mid-range or pro-level Nikon body (sorry, this …
This time around I thought we’d take an in-depth look at teleconverters. Not just what they do – but how they work, how to get the best results, how they affect AF speed and accuracy, the best way to use them and more. Even if you think you know all about teleconverters, there’s probably something new for you in this video.
Plus, as a bonus, towards the end I even …
Whew – it was a busy night for Nikon! The new Z series firmware (2.0) has been released. I’ve just updated my Z6 and Z7, but have not had the chance to test any of the new features yet – although on paper there does seem to be a lot of nice updates and improvements.
However, there is some bad news – Nikon has issued a recall for some of …
So, there you are, casually browsing the latest camera news and you discover that Nikon has just released new firmware for your camera.
But the question is – do you update it yourself or send it in to Nikon for the update?
Well, save your packing tape for returning all the stuff you ordered on that internet shopping spree last week! In the video below, we’ll go through the process …
Think you know blinkies? Well, not so fast!
In this video, we’re going to take a look at “Blinkies,” – technically called your Overexposure Highlight Warning or Highlight Alert. No matter what you call ’em though – this video will show you just what they are and how to use them.
During our in-depth look at blinkies, we’ll cover the basics, how they work, why you might like them better …
