Going on a trip? Plan ahead for photos

Going on a trip? Plan ahead for photos

By Jan Dembowski on August 26, 2010

Wednesday August 25th the family and I went to the Statue of Liberty.  The trip was planned weeks in advance and we took the Huntington Station line at 6:15 Am to get there nice and early before the crowds. It was raining cats and dogs the whole time we were there. I had expected to [...]

Nikon 50mm f/1.4G

Nikon 50mm f/1.4G

By Jan Dembowski on March 25, 2010

After using my brother’s Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens for a few weeks, I broke down and picked up a new AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens. From all the reviews I’ve read, it’s an improvement over the older f/1.4D version being more sharper while still having a good DOF. Here are some samples of what I [...]

DPReview’s Canon 7D review

By Jan Dembowski on November 8, 2009

I purchased my Nikon D300s for a simple reason: I was sold on the D300 and I’m a stickler for getting the current model. I’ve been very satisfied with it. Now Canon has come out with the 7D which lines up directly against the D300s. DPReview has a really good in-depth write-up of the Canon [...]

What I am looking for in a new camera kit

By Jan Dembowski on May 20, 2009

See what you can shoot with the Nikon D60? I took this photo at an aircraft museum. You can see a bigger version of the plane here on Flickr. I have had the Nikon D60 for more than a year now and it’s been great fun.  Last I looked, the shutter count was around 17,000 [...]

Photoshop Elements 7 pet peeves

By Jan Dembowski on March 8, 2009

I used Photoshop Elements 6 and liked it.  It worked and let me touch up my photos quickly and efficiently. I liked it so much that when PSE 7 came out, I paid for an online upgrade as soon as I could. PSE 7 broke the small things. With version 6, the photo downloader just [...]

Oh. That many pictures.

By Jan Dembowski on December 21, 2008

Today is slow and almost all of our shopping is done. So I am going through my photos this evening and notices something. I purchased my Nikon D60 in May 2008 and have been using Photoshop Elements since then. My external 1TB WorldBook is where I keep my photos and PSE keeps a tally of [...]

Nikon D60 and auto ISO

By Jan Dembowski on September 26, 2008

I got to learn about a useful DSLR feature called auto ISO. A friend brought in his mint Nikon D90 and let me play with it. He had on the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 HSM macro lens and I was really impressed.  It’s not a D700 but for someone like me it’s really good.  Low noise [...]
