Two month-old Google+ has already broken a number of records in adoption (and likely desertion) for a social networking site and is growing like no other. One of the groups most prolific on the new site are photographers. As you may have read here on DPS and other sites, photographers have found great results in [...]
It’s now a cliché that our society is super fast paced. There’s no time to relax. There’s no time for reading an article longer than 1000 words (this one is 737, don’t worry). Things need to be distilled into sound bites for easy ingestion. This attitude of go, go, go will not serve you well [...]
Overview The LowePro Pro Roller x200 is a bag that tries to be many things to many people. It has room to carry multiple SLRs, lenses, flashes, notebook, laptop and more. The main compartment also removes from the outer casing to allow the roller section to perform double duty as a checked bag or for [...]
One area most people don’t often experiment with is the purposeful use of long exposure times during the day. Night shots, streaking lights and star trails, are common and typically fairly easy compared to their daytime counterparts. For one thing, there’s so much light!

Maybe it’s an upcoming gift from a loved one or maybe you just decided it was time to “take my photography to the next level”. Or maybe it is another reason that has you shopping for a new DSLR. At any rate, you have started your hunt online and off and will soon be making [...]

This site is run as a manufacturer independent test [...]
Time and again I get asked by those starting out in photography, “What is this thing that came with my lens?” What they are referring to is the lens hood included with most new lenses. For those new to cameras and lenses, it looks odd as it is often cut in a wave-like pattern. A [...]
I admit to feeling like a fraud sometimes. A fraud because I have people “ohhhh”ing and “ahhhh”ing over a photo of mine and when I sit back and look at it, I realize it’s not my photo skills they are astounded by, it’s the subject of the shot. Yes, I was there and composed the [...]
Part 1 of Time For Photography included some tips on finding time in your schedule to take photos. In Part 2 we will concentrate on making time. While it might sound more difficult to make some thing rather than find it, they both take a lot of effort. Sorry, there is no silver bullet, but [...]
I find cameras are often a lot like cars to people using them: they know when it works, they know what it does and can use it. But they are often clueless when it comes to the mechanics of HOW it works. To some of you, this may be a boring topic and I suggest [...]
