So you’re going to an event

You’re going to an event.  One of those arena-based performances that cost too much, where they try to hawk trinkets and cotton candy at you during intermission.  Where you have to pass through a ridiculous bag check at the door, where they tell you that “professional” photo gear isn’t allowed.  Which to the people running [...]


Canon Powershot SX120 – Review

Several changes in my system have forced me to reevaluate my current gear load, and some pieces are being replaced. Foremost is my Canon G10, which has been a wonderful little camera. But in reality, it is a point & shoot, and as P&S cameras go, it’s overpowered & overpriced for how I [...]


Luzerne County Fair

For me, this is the last fair of the summer, and it’s one that I’m new to.  This is the fair that Mandy grew up with; I’ve been only twice, and this year was nearly a washout.  As it was, there was a more or less steady drizzle the entire evening, which did wonders at [...]


Where it Started

How old were you when you took your first photo? Were you old enough to have learned some of the controls? Were you learning to be a photographer? Or were you a little kid, holding your mother’s camera and trying to press the shutter without wobbling?
Do you even remember?
I don’t remember. I [...]


A couple more w/ the G10

At a local park on Sunday, out more for a picnic and a walk than for serious shooting, but managed to get a few that I liked.  I took the G10 so  I could travel light.  For this kind of work, I find that I’m using it mostly in Av mode, with some exposure compensation [...]


Canon G10 Review

The G10 arrived Thursday afternoon, to my great excitement.  (One of the perks of living relatively close to NYC – one-day shipping from B&H!)  Already I’ve managed to put 200 shots on it, mostly around the apartment and at the Sock Hop my girlfriend and I attend last night.

What’s the good word?  Quite a bit, [...]


Gear Upgrade

I’m getting a new piece of gear!  Ordered this evening from B&H, a Canon Powershot G10 will soon join my kit, replacing the venerable Powershot SX100 which I’ve enjoyed for the past four months.
I anticipate two questions – 1.) Why in the world would I replace a four month old camera; 2.) Why would anyone care?
Answer [...]


The Perks of a Point & Shoot: Macro

The last post covered some of the general perks of owning a point & shoot digital camera.  This time, let’s take a look at a specific feature that’s worth some special attention – the built in macro mode.
Macro photography is a lot of fun and allows a view of the world that most people never [...]


The Perks of a Point & Shoot

Professional photographers have been known to express a certain disdain for point & shoot cameras, assigning them to the categories of “soccer mom” and “new Polaroid.”  It’s a harsh criticism, and unfounded.  In fact, if you can get them to admit it, a large number of professional photographers own P&S cameras, for the simple reason [...]
