Nikon 85mm f/1.8D

September 18, 2009

I have a new lens as of yesterday. I bought this one to have more versatility in my portrait sessions. I haven’t played with it too much, but hopefully this weekend it will get to show off a little.

Mac Attack!

April 15, 2009

Who has a Mac? What do you have? What do you want? :smile: I’m looking, need recommendations and feedback!

I’m using a Windows based machine now for editing my photos, it’s a little frustrating at times. I have been thinking about getting a Mac for over a year, just can’t figure out which one would be best for me. I’m pretty sure I want a laptop vs. a desk machine. I really like the Mac Book Pro’s, but, I’ve also been thinking about a Mac Mini. I have hard drives and burners, I really just want to be able to open up Lightroom and Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro X2 and not have LAG and BOG. I wonder if it’s Lightroom though. I can edit photos in PSP just fine, then I open Lightroom and it’s a slow machine.

So, help me decide! Thanks!

Domke Bag

April 10, 2009

I really needed a medium sized bag, I decided to go with Domke after buying 2 Jill.e bags. I’m happy with Jill.e, but wanted something a little more rugged. I like how the compartments are set up on the Domke. I bought an olive green one and I also purchased a USPS shoulder pad. That makes all the difference in the world!

Bags

April 8, 2009

I recently purchased some great equipment bags on eBay. I found an excellent, reliable seller. Contact me if you want more information. Each bag is long enough to haul my light stands and I also bought a shorter one for my tripod and umbrellas. I have other bags that I bought from a different seller for my backdrops, last year.

Another lens I use when I’m switching cameras. I haven’t played with this one too much, but I will in the future.
