Vendors of Siem Reap
It has been said that people are the same all over the world. Perhaps each have different habits, culture, food, etc but basically, deep down, they all have the same reaction to crisis, survival, family and one of the most basic of all human interaction, buying or selling something. I found out in Siem Reap […]

D800/E Review (Part 2)
The introduction of an alternative model without the AA filter – the D800E! The AA filter is an optical low pass filter added in front of the sensor to produce some blurring to the image, specifically between two adjacent pixels. Why? That way curved or diagonal parts of the image are softened to eliminate jagged […]

D800/E Review (Part 1)
I have been a Nikon user all my life, a digital shooter for the last ten years, and a full frame shooter ever since the D700 shipped 3 years ago. It was with great excitement, therefore, when Nikon announced the 36-megazillionpixel D800 – much to the surprise of the entire photographic community because Nikon has […]
Three Treasures
A Diamond or any precious stone is considered valuable. Its beauty, uniqueness, scarcity and sometimes it is one of a kind makes it prized and treasured. Something to be passed on to the next generation, given to someone you love to be appreciated and enjoyed. Mere mention of treasure and the mind immediately think of […]

Exotic Places
I’m going out on a limb here. I will say that all photographers like to travel and the more exotic the place the more they want to go there. But first before we go any further, let us define exotic. Webster defines it as not native, foreign, having a strange allure, not common etc. So, […]

Sagada Adventure
Whenever we go on an On-The-Spot competition (OTS), there is always that excitement, thinking and hoping that one would find a photograph worthy of being kept possibly blown up and displayed where it can be viewed and shared with others. Wishing that one would find a moment in time where a congruence of light, subject […]
