Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

With all of the overtime I've logged lately, I decided to do the right thing and spoil myself like any other red-blooded American would do. I ordered the Nikon R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System two weeks ago. I immediately ran out and bought a handful of the necessary ...

My new camera gear has arrived

Friday, August 11th, 2006

The UPS guy knocked on the door last night to hand over my new Nikon DR-6 Rectangular Slip-on Viewfinder, and today the Post Office delivered the Nikon MC-36 Multi-Function Remote. The MC-36 wasn't available from any retailer that I could find, so I ended up buying it on eBay. ...

Nikon MC-36 Multi-Function Remote

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Hot on the tails of my previous post about the Nikon DR-6 Rectangular Slip-on Viewfinder, it's another post for the Photography and Toys categories; two of my favorites. After careful consideration, I've decided to also add the Nikon MC-36 Multi-Function Remote to my collection of gear. I noticed that a lot of ...

Nikon DR-6 Right Angle Viewfinder

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Since I got my new Nikon 60mm f/2.8D I've frequently found myself hunched over on my knees and twisted to the side, or laying down with my face in the dirt, trying to get a good angle on my subjects - mostly tiny insects. Ten, or even five years ...

Picture post: clouds

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

I've been doing a lot of work lately for a client in Freeport. Every time I go out that way I stop at the foot of the Highway 331 bridge and take a moment to enjoy the view of the Choctawhatchee Bay from one of the public picnic tables. ...

Birthday Wishes

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Michele has agreed to purchase me a Nikon 60mm f/2.8D Macro lens for my approaching birthday. This makes me a very happy boy, as macro photography is what I love most. Macro photography is a window into a world of things that you can't normally see with the ...

The Hidden Lagoon

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

I had a moment this morning. It was a scene straight out of a movie. The one where the lost adventurer stumbles out of the dense jungle, to find himself in a clearing where angels are singing and glorious rays of light are glimmering down through the treetops ...

Photo Babble

Wednesday, March 1st, 2006

I received the Nikon SB-800 Speedlight on Tuesday afternoon. I had it shipped to the office since there's no telling where it will end up if I have it shipped to the apartment. I could hardly wait to get home, shove some batteries in it and walk around ...

Finally This And Finally That

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

I finally finished putting together all of our new office furniture on Friday. It only took me three days, too. It's really really nice. Here soon I'll post a picture of it. Which brings me to my next point... I finally got a new camera. I ...
