How to Review Photo Equipment

One of my biggest irritations (and I know that many of you feel the same way) is when you share some of your photographs and people say “You must have a great camera” and while a great camera helps it’s not a magic wand. Having said that good equipment doesn’t hurt. What makes a good [...]

Renting Camera Equipment

I’m in the market for a Digital SLR, what should I buy?   THAT is the #1 most frequently asked question these days.  Everyone wants to know.  WHAT SHOULD I BUY?  No really, what should I buy.  Don’t hold back.  Just tell me. TELL ME.  Here’s the thing about getting started with Digital Photography you [...]

Catalog Printing Online – Review

I came across PSPrint.com in my search for a one-stop shop for online printing. I was beginning to get overwhelmed with all of the options, and I was feeling very uncertain about pricing and quality. Once I came across PSPrint.com, though, I felt much more at ease about this venture! PSPrint.com makes online printing fun [...]

Review: The Canon Digital Rebel XSi/450D Companion

There are a lot of guide books on the market for different camera models. I personally find these books to be just glorified versions of the manual that comes with the camera. Unless you’re really new to photography and can’t distinguish between a shutter and function button, you’re really just wasting your money with these [...]

Review: Cactus Wireless Flash Trigger V2s

One of the least expensive ways to get started with off-camera flash photography is by using the Cactus Wireless Triggers. The Cactus is also referred to as the Ebay trigger since this is where it first caught the attention of photographers all over the world. This wireless RF flash trigger is distributed by Gadget Infinity [...]

Review: The Digital Photography Companion

Disclaimer: O’Reilly sent us a copy of The Digital Photography Companion by Derrick Story for review a few weeks ago and they also provided two extra copies to raffle off to our readers, but this is not a paid review. This is our honest editorial opinion. There are a lot of photography books aimed at [...]

The Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Review

We needed a new camera bag so the whole camera bouncing off the asphalt would never happen again. Like we mentioned in that post, I was leaning more towards the Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW. The comments were very enthusiastic reviews about it. We saw it and really liked it, but decided it’s a bit on [...]

Canon EF-S 55-250mm Lens Review

We first heard of this lens during one of our visits to our local Canon shop. We were just browsing through their list of lenses when we found the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. We were surprised that it cost just under $300 considering its maximum focal length and the fact that it had Image Stabilization. [...]

The Ultimate Field Guide to Photography

When I started getting serious about photography, I remember wasting so much money on photography books. I’d go to bookstores and get completely carried away. There’s a wealth of information online that plenty of us make good use of nowadays – which I will blog about tomorrow because I have the motherload of all photography [...]

Canon 40D Review

A lot has been said already about the recently released Canon 40D. We will not be giving you it’s technical specs or it’s new features since those can be found on Canon’s website already. Instead, we’ll be focusing on our experience with using this camera. First off, the camera build is amazing. The whole thing [...]
