Anniversary

Today marks one year since I began writing for Beyond Megapixels. A lot of things have changed since then including Tiffany and I buying the website in March of this year. This has been a wonderful experience for me and I’ve increased my knowledge about photography while writing for Beyond Megapixels and interacting with our [...]

Annoyances…continued

Tiffany’s article last Friday really struck a chord with me. My guess is that I’m not alone in having experienced, in some form or fashion, all of what she discussed. I really appreciated her article because it’s one I’ve wanted to write for a long time but thought I should play nice instead. In keeping [...]

Annoyances

Enough of these have poked at me in the past couple of weeks that I thought I’d make an article out of ‘em. So… Five Photography-Related Things That Annoy Me Enough To Write About Them Photography products – lenses, cameras, flashes, accessories – that tout in their advertising that THIS GIMMICK RIGHT HERE will fix [...]

Review: Canon EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

The Short Review: DEAR LORD I LOVE THIS LENS. I am going to buy it at my earliest opportunity. It went immediately on my wish list.

Insuring Your Photography Equipment

I rented a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens from Pro Photo Rental, which I will review next week (spoiler: I LOVED IT). I had a TON of fun honing [...]

It’s Not Just The Camera

How many times have you heard the comment, it’s not the camera that takes a good photo, it’s the photographer? Well, if that’s true, why do professional photographers, those that make their living with photography, use mostly DSLR’s? Some of the Pro’s were using SLR film cameras when the digital revolution began and it was [...]

Web Workshops I’ve Got My Eye On

Hi friends! I’ve been collecting a list of web workshops and seminars that I would like to attend, and I thought I would share them with you. THIS WEEKEND: I won’t be able to attend this one, since I’ll be in Indianapolis photographing the MotoGP race, but I would have liked to attend! Mark Wallace, [...]

Review – Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It

A couple of weeks ago I attended a Scott Kelby Training seminar called Light It Shoot It Retouch It Live.

Whether or not you’re interested in studio photography I highly recommend you attend this seminar if you possibly can. [...]
