How to turn your Nikon into an iPhone with one simple hack. — So what happens when you take a relatively modern DSLR camera ,(Nikon D750) and slap a 40-year-old kit lens on it?

Sunsets: Kitsch or Art?

Sunsets happen, they are unavoidable. The question is, do they deserve to be photographed? I try to differentiate between “beautiful subjects” and “beautiful photos” and maybe that’s why I avoid scenes and subjects that feel worn out, like an ancient pair of slippers. …

Winter

Slowing down to touch life — January 2022. COVID is burning through the land like a forest fire, followed by death, sickness, fear, and desperation. When can I go back to normal?

Four months ago, I bought a used Nikon on eBay…

What I learned, what I love, and what I dislike. — About 3 years ago, I had lost my photography mojo, partly because I could get better photos on my iPhone than on my 2007 Nikon. But photography has been with me since I was a wee lad, I was cutting my teeth on 35mm (and 6x6). …

Don’t be afraid of the big “M”

Should you shoot photos in manual? — I recently saw a Reddit conversation that confused me — the poster was an aspiring pro photographer who would only (!) shoot in fully automatic mode.
