I need some suggestions and advice on how to do this. I process my photos in Lightroom on my desktop. I've gotten my workflow pretty well streamlined for my needs over the last few years. I process what I consider to be good photos and upload the selected 5% or so onto an online photo sharing...

Once upon a time someone asked me for a photo of the battery protection PCB found inside a BP-511A. I never got around to doing it until today, when I found the circuit lying on the floor and was about to toss it out. This was extracted from a BP511A equivalent bought from SterlingTek almost...

These were shot during the weekend at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, near the Alviso Environment Education Center. What a mouthful. All shot with my 20D and 100-400mm. #1 : Seagull washing itself in a stream. Looks like it is attempting the breast stroke. #2...

Spotted in Kent Ridge Park in February. I did a search of monkeys in Singapore, but this doesn't look like the images of a long tailed macaque I found on google (I could be wrong, since I don't know how much variation there are among individuals). Thanks in advance.

There are occasions where knowing the EXIF of an image can help you learn how a photo is taken. Not everyone posts their shooting information together with their image, however. In some cases, the shooting information is available from the EXIF header within the JPEG. I'll describe how you can...

Driving a horse and buggy, that is :) Saw this while in San Francisco Golden Gate Park last month, thought it was funny. Used f/11 to get more of horse in focus. Didn't try to fit in entire horse and carriage because I'm trying to focus on the man talking on the cell phone. In case anyone...

If you're in San Francisco and can find a few hours of time, consider visiting Chihuly's exhibit of glass sculptures at the de Young museum in Golden Gate Park. The exhibition is on until September 28. Glass Forest #3. 20D, 24-105L @ 24mm, f/4, 1/15, ISO3200. Reeds. 20D, 10-22mm @...

I was actually trying to shoot a group of Snowy Egrets when this guy flew in. EOS 20D EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS @ 400mm, handheld f/7.1, 1/800 sec, ISO 200, Aperture Priority Cropped slightly. Sorry for the overexposure, no time to dial down EC. Comments welcomed.

Long time ago, we had the Michael Fay incident. Then some bright spark decided to ban chewing gum. Then people got the two mixed up and assume if you bring chewing gum into Singapore, you get caned. And of course, there's always the "so which part of China is that?" questions. For a...

I'd like to recommend a lens rental place in Northern California that I rented from recently. I have no relationship with the business other than as a customer, and I don't receive any kickbacks from them if you do rent from them. The place is borrowlenses.com and they are located in Northern...

Been waiting for this for a while. The thread where I found out about it is here. An instant rebate is basically a discount given at the checkout, and essentially equivalent to a temporary price drop. Applies to both in-store as well as online purchases. Instant rebate amount : EOS 5D ...

I passed by the memorial very frequently on this trip to Singapore. Please let me know how I can improve the shot (all aspects, including setup, composition and post processing). TIA. Shot was taken on the lawn in front of the memorial. Ultra-wide was used so that the memorial will not be...
