This past weekend I changed up my off-camera lighting just a little bit than I normally have been doing. Using off-camera flashes has been part of my repertoire for quite some time now with certain bars/bands, but I never used a dome diffuser nor did I use any colored gels (even though I own both).… Continue Reading

Attitude from Canon shooters for having a Nikon
Editor’s note: This is a direct copy and paste from a forum I originally posted this to on Flickr.

I shot Canon… Continue Reading

Even on the Canon 5DM2 I was reluctant to shoot above 3200 ISO in these circumstances; on the… Continue Reading

The Switch from Canon to Nikon is in progress
So I have, indeed, committed to switching from Canon to Nikon, recently. After further reflection/internal debate/countless budget calculations, I ultimately decided on the Nikon D700 paired with the Nikon 24-70 2.8. Not the cheapest scenario–believe me, I tried really hard NOT to decide on this solution–but having shot with the Canon 5DM2 for the past… Continue Reading
Nikon d300s Impressions from a Canon 7D and 5DM2 shooter.
I’ve rented the Nikon d300s this past week, along with the Nikon 17-55 2.8, the SB-900 flash and the SB-600 flash (to experiment with off-camera lighting). I’ve been considering a switch from Canon to Nikon for a long time. Here is a link to some pics I shot with the Nikon. Below are my impressions: Continue Reading
