I've talked about various cameras in the last few months. Some were very low end and a couple were nice consumer cameras. Today's camera is on the high end and it comes with a price tag to match. But if you are looking for a top of the line digital camera, the...
When I first heard about the Nikon Coolpix P900, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about the 83x optical zoom. It sounds great, but does it really work. Some owners of the camera have shot videos to prove it. The first one shows a boring parking lot and zooms...
The folks at Photodex recently released ProShow 8, the latest version of their powerful tool for creating multimedia slideshows! It is one of my favorite tools to use as I always feel like I am playing instead of working. Below are a list of new features provided...
Loyal readers most likely noticed that I wrote very few blogs over the past couple of weeks as I was traveling in Baja, Mexico. Part of the lack of posts was due to spotty Internet connections and part was simply because I was on vacation. But it was a working...
Smartphone cameras are very powerful, but they aren't always enough to capture the photos you want. DSLRs are more expensive and too bulky to carry in your pocket. Point and shoot cameras are a good compromise between the two. A really good point and shoot is the...
It seems like drones are in the news fairly often and it isn't always positive news. But they also provide a very powerful tool for getting photos and videos from angles that weren't easily available in the past. They are also fun! There are many options available...

Thanks to the advent of social media, I've shared hundreds of photos I've taken with friends and followers worldwide. Some of the photos are very popular and I'll get asked if I sell my photos anywhere. Until very recently, the answer was no though I tried to work...
Most loyal readers are already aware that much of my focus has shifted towards providing services for Web design. When I first talk with a client, they always want to provide an exact cost before I have any understanding of the type of Web site they desire. Even...
How many of you still use a camera that shoots on film? I'm sure there are a few of you, but I'm guessing the vast majority shoot using some flavor of digital camera. And for many people, they use the camera on their smartphone far more often than other types of...
As a kid, one of my favorite movies was Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it over the years. There was even a family vacation where we visited Devils Tower in Wyoming, featured prominently in the movie. Unfortunately...
It seems like I look in the mirror every day and something has changed about my face. Either that or I just have a bad hair day every day. Since it had been a couple of years since I took my last promotional headshot, I thought it was about time to get another one....
As the Thanksgiving weekend comes to an end, it reminds me that winter will soon be upon us. Sometimes it is hard to tell it is winter as Phoenix stays pretty warm. That's fine with me as I'm not a big fan of cold weather. Since I don't want to get out in the cold...
Today I want to tell you a little bit about some islands that are probably unknown to many of you. They are fairly remote and the population is small. Yet they contain beauty that I've not seen anywhere else. First, I'll give you a link to The Atlantic's photo...
I'm always amazed at all the cool places in Arizona. That really hit home when I read a recent piece by Scott Bourne titled 13 Places Every Landscape Photographer Should See Before They Die. He lists his thirteen best and four of them are here in Arizona. I didn't...
