    Olympus E-510 for Beginner?

    I'm still rocking my E-510! It has been an excellent first DSLR and came with light small kit lenses of pretty good quality - excellent as kit lenses go. The 14-42 does well with landscape and is very easy to lug around, exactly the setup I crossed the Grand Canyon with a few years ago for...

    AEO Lightning Trigger

    Sounds like a nice toy to play with! Most times it feels like a good active storm is hard to come by around these parts, having something like that would make a big difference. Brad, I like those bolts dropping unsupported out of that moody sky! Steve, a long exposure and willingness to...
