Vintage value
Here’s another blast from the past.:) The very first lens I had on my old Nikon FG-20 after getting into photography in 1985 was a 50mm f1.8 lens. I was sotong about photography back then, but I did learn quickly

Demb Flip-It!
Back to another post on photographic toys again.:) One of the huge improvements that I looked forward to switching from the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 5D to the D300 was in flash photography. Simply put, my flash photography skills using the KM5D
Bag it
Here’s another entry on photographic toys. After I moved from my old Konica-Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR to the D300, the containers i.e. bags had to get changed too. I’ve been using an old Lowepro camera bag for years now and

Ultra-wide angles
One of the best things about having an ang mo friend is that every time he comes by to visit, I go wild at Amazon and order all the lenses and accessories I need and have them sent to him,
HDR and CPL
One of those things I’ve never really gotten around to doing is play around with Photo editing software. I’ve had them for years – e.g. the very first digital camera I bought in 1999 (a Canon S10) – came with
"But my face is oily…:("
One of those effects of those weeks of spreadsheet-peering is that I’ve become intimately familiar with pricing of camera systems, lenses and accessories. It’s funny too, because currently right now, the local camera body prices for the Canon 40D and
