    Nikon Nerds - today is the day...

    I'm getting a pink one with the additional 10mm lens. I want to be 'tourist stealthy' when I'm snapping digital pics. My buddy at Nikon told me it's actually a pretty cool camera. Manual modes, manual focus, RAW, small, 1080p...seems pretty good. I will post NEF's when I get some from him.

    Digitizing Film Slides

    If any Nikon shooters want to pick up the same setup that I used, there is a good clean unit here in SLC for sale pretty reasonably priced.

    Hard Cases - Pelican etc.

    When I have traveled overseas I always ALWAYS carry on the cameras AND have the film hand-checked. I can live w/out clothes for a few days, but if the gear gets stolen I'm screwed. I have used LowePro backpacks when carrying on cameras. I have also been known to commandeer space in my...

    Nikon Nerds - today is the day...

    I don't think today is THAT day. I thought it would be, but it seems it is not. Still, there are some tempting little nuggets in the Coolpix lineup. Sorry for the false alarm.

    FWIW, you don't need a grey-card to determine white balance. In fact, a grey card is used more for determining exposure than white balance. There is a lot of color variation amongst grey-cards, so you might just want to find some neutral white cardstock or paper. The grey-card will get you...

    Don't knock the drop-shadow. It is my stock-and-trade. You will find that you start looking at any flat surface as a potential 'background' and start to get a collection. Also, let's tame that White Balance!!!!! Oh, nice job. You are getting the hang of it quickly.

    Some thoughts: 1. Don't worry about the coins. 2. Turn off one of your lights. 3. Play with the distance of the light to the subject. 4. Play with diffusing the light. 5. Play with reflecting light back into the subject. 6. Learn how to white balance. You'll get what I'm trying to say...
