If your photos are going on the web, there are several things you can do to get small files, yet decent image quality

I keep reading these articles from film photographers about why film is MUCH better than digital. Pardon my French, but BS!

Lomography has succeeded on almost all levels with their copy of the Petzval lens. The finished result is beautiful and a real piece of kit.

I don't use physical filters on my lenses and I very rarely use digital filters on my image files

I always loved the look of the ultra-compact pancake lenses. Now I own two.

For some reason some photographers seem to think that a 35mm lens is about as boring and bland as a lens can get. I beg to differ.

The Sigma ultra wideangle zoom is a fantastic lens, but not easy to use and not perfect for all situations where a wideangle is useful

Yes I stopped looking frantically at the LCD on the back of my digital cameras after each and every shot. And I think it has made me take better pictures.

Shooting film is not the rite of passage to becoming a "real" photographer!

I standardized my tripod quick releases and camera plates on the Arca-Swiss system a long time ago and haven't regretted it for a minute.

I have Nikon DX bodies exclusively and shoot a lot of macro, so I bought both the 85mm f/3.5 and the 40mm f/2.8 DX Micro-Nikkors to supplement a couple of older macros I have.

Many Nikon macro bellows are known not to fit on modern SLR's, but I managed to make a very easy conversion to fit my Model III on all my Nikon bodies

It's amazing what large cameras can do for you when you are out shooting. They can literally open doors and break down fences.

There's no doubt that the Fuji X100 is a fantastic camera, and I use mine all the time and love it. But man, there's a bunch of Fuji engineers who deserve a severe spanking!

I have a weakness for bright lenses and always had great experiences with Sigma. So when I wanted a bright 50mm, I found it natural to look closer at Sigma's offering.

I see these articles and videos all over the web, and like them. Despite claiming the opposite, we're obsessed with gear, aren't we? Here is my gear list.

Bring your camera, take pictures, have fun, become a better photographer,

There is an ongoing and almost eternal debate on the net about JPG versus RAW. I don't take part in it. I just shoot RAW and here is why.

I have had a couple of fisheye lenses in my long career with SLR's and have always considered them a lot of fun.

This lens is a no-brainer for any Nikon owner! It might not be the best lens Nikon ever made, but the quality to price ratio is unsurpassed.

A real eyeopener (litterally) and the start of my still ongoing wideangle craze

I've always liked two things in my lenses: wide angle and brightness. Combine the two and you have a winner!
