Back in June I posted the rumor of the Nikon D300s that included SD storage and video capabilities. Well it’s more then rumor as Nikon introduced it today.
The D300s practically replaces the regular D300 and adds 720p, 24FPS video recording inherited from the D90 but with several improvements: it can now autofocus while shooting movies, [...]

A large near perfect six inch wide leaf growing ten feet about the ground, natural back lighting, 300mm (70-300mm f/4.5-5.6) Nikon lens, 1/350 sec at f/5.6, and a handheld Nikon D700 went into making this photo.
My general purpose Tamron 28-300mm VC full frame lens is being retired and I’ll soon sell it. While I love [...]

So is there a Nikon D300s camera with SD card storage, high speed continuous shooting and video capabilities?

I did some test shots with the used Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 D IF-ED lens I recently won at auction.
Overall I’m pleased with the resulting photos–see the included two macro samples (click on images for larger images.) The lens appears to be sharp even when pushed to its macro and aperture limits but [...]

Every once in a while I’ll check online photographic merchants and Ebay for bargains in used camera equipment–mostly for lens or flash units.
Last week I found an on-going auction on Ebay for a used Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 D IF-ED lens that appeared to be in great shape. The big down side of the [...]

This is an oldie but a goodie for me.
I searched today for a YouTube video on setting up a Nikon Dxxx camera to do hands free bracketing burst. I’d previously set this up on my D300 but wanted to be sure I didn’t forget any of the settings on my D700.
This function is [...]

Nikon’s introduced a new player in the entry-level D-SLR that records 720p HD video, the 12.3-megapixel D5000 using the same DX sensor as the Nikon D90–some are calling it the D90 lite.
Nikon seems to have included some advance camera functionality in this new model including:
3D Color Matrix Metering II with EXPEED image processing;
4 frames/second continuous [...]

Above: A new meaning for “The Sky’s the Limit.”
A couple of weeks ago I came across information about a camera lens/accessory bag called appropriately “the SHOOTSAC.” What attracted me about this bag is that it seemed to be made for use while actually shooting rather then transporting your gear to and from the site.
When on [...]

I’ve been focusing on my skills with Adobe Photoshop for several months. As part of this graphical skills improvement process I want to get comfortable using a pen and tablet for editing in Photoshop, so I dug out the Watcom Tablet I had, loaded the drivers and set it directly in front of my monitor.

Here’s two more photos from my macro signs of spring. I have no idea what types of plants these are. I’m terrible at identifying plants.
As a child I remember my mother, my grandmother and my aunts all being able to give the proper names for every plant they came across–especially any type of flowering [...]

Blue Forever
I pulled this photo from my archives, again from the southern Alaska waterways in May 2008. I remember being amazed by the vast blue waters, sky and distant mountains. It was clear and you could see forever. In stark opposition to this blue vastness there were these green rocky islands covered with trees. The [...]
