read moreSome Canon T6 DSLRs May Have a Sensor Issue
Every once in a while my gear rental company notices something, because of the large quantities of cameras and lenses we buy, that we think people should be aware of. This particular issue won’t affect our renters; we’ve sent the affected cameras back. It may not affect very many people at all, since this is from a relatively small sample size. But I still think it worth mentioning. The bottom line is that 4 of the Canon T6s and 2 of the T6i cameras we received had to be sent back because of a defect in the sensor stack (the layers...
read moreAn Alley in Nepal, Before and After the Earthquake
I was in Nepal exactly six years and three days before the earthquake that devastated the country on Saturday. Back then, I was photographing for a magazine feature and had spent much of the day in Bhaktapur, a beautiful and ancient city in the Kathmandu Valley. As anybody who has visited Nepal will tell you, it’s a wonderful place to photograph. Nepalese people are enormously hospitable, the light is invariably wonderful and there seems to be a golden photo opportunity at every turn. I was resting for a few moments at the end of a...

read moreLong Exposure Photography Without a Tripod
For me, as a travel photographer, the size and the weight of the photography equipment that I carry around is very important. Over the years, I learned how to carry only the items absolutely necessary for shooting in order to eliminate anything unessential. Long exposure photo shot without a tripod, using the Align+Blend technique. I was able to replace some of the pieces of equipment with software. For example, I stopped using ND Graduated filters a few years ago. For me, it was easier to take bracketed shots and blend two images in...
read moreStop the Rush and Return to Simplicity
As modern day photographers it is easy to get overwhelmed and consumed by new gear, new technology, new software, new techniques (did someone say HDR?) and so on. With so much going on in the industry, sometimes you need to step back, sit down and relax. Sometimes you need to stop the rush in your head and slow the heck down. With that said, I thought it would be worthwhile to share some advice for you new photographers that feel an intense desire to do more than you know you can handle at the moment. Or for you photographers that have...

Defects between the layers of glass covering the sensor of a Canon EOS Rebel T6s/760D.

read moreNikon D7200 First Impressions updated
I have a D7100. It is a good camera, but like all 24MP sensors, on APS-C, noisy above 400, losing resolution to noise. So it sits in its case and I dont use it. I did not realize why until too late, having loadsa full-frame lenses. Nikon do not produce a 16-50mm F2.8 lens is why. Imagine a D800 without a 24-70mm f2.8? Can’t, can you? Well, thats what an APS-C Nikon or Canon is. How it is that only Sony has a 16-50mm f2.8 lens I just cannot imagine, but I am sure not interested in a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 because the last one I tried was not...
read moreLeica M Monochrom Type 246 offers live view and boosted ISO range
Leica has introduced an updated version of its black-and-white-only digital rangefinder. The M-Monochrom Typ 246 uses a full frame 24MP CMOS sensor that, like its predecessor, has no color filter array. The previous Monochrom used an 18MP CCD sensor, so the upgrade to a CMOS chip provides several improvements such as live view and video recording capabilities. Essentially a monochrome version of the M Typ 240, the M Monochrom Typ 246 offers an increase in ISO range up to ISO 25,000 (up from a maximum of 10,000), a more...

Carl Zeiss today uploaded a number of sample photos captured with its new Batis line of full frame lenses for Sony’s FE mount. Of the 7 images taken with the 85mm f/1.8 and the 4 with the 25mm f/2, one in particular is causing quite a bit of discussion among Sony shooters. The image is titled “Girl #1†and has a caption that states “Sony α7R, ZEISS Batis 1.8/85″: What’s strange is the size of the photo. The Sony A7r has a 36.4 megapixel full frame sensor, but this particular sample photo has an original size of 8910×6300,...

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
