Every sunset is different. However each year, there are a few of them that you remember forever! This was certainly one of those sunsets! As Galen Rowell once said, “You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good photographer does the math and doesn’t waste either.”
Nikon seems to be the champion of “trickle-down features”. What does that mean? Over the ~4 generations of Nikon DSLRs that have come out in the past decade or so, Nikon has had the habit of taking flagship features from their high-end pro cameras, and putting those features in the more affordable model cameras. When the Nikon D300 came out along side the flagship D3, it was a $1800 camera with roughly the same autofocus system as a $5,000 camera.
Most of today’s latest and greatest cameras have incredible amounts of dynamic range, however that doesn’t mean you should just go blasting away at your shadows with recovery sliders and brushes. The best image quality from a camera still comes from proper exposures. So if you have a scene that is almost manageable within a single capture, but you’d still like to reduce noise in shadow areas or improve your highlight preservation, you can do so without having to set up more than just two photos with separate exposures.

The Panasonic GH3 is the most advanced, professional-grade quality Micro 4/3 camera. We had several days to see if it’s a worthy upgrade to the beloved GH2. In Part 1 we take a look at the build and details, and compare it to the GH2 in a still life studio test.
I live in Flower Mound which is a beautiful city situated north of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We’ve enjoyed some amazingly great weather this winter with many days of cloudless sunny skies and unseasonably warm weather. Perhaps it’s the result of global warming but for now I’m enjoying every minute of it.
In this article, we will be discussing the pros and cons of our three favorite image storage solutions for your studio.
Nikon’s 28m f/1.8 is the third and most recent of the new f/1.8 AFS-G primes, the first two being the 50mm f/1.8 AFS-G and 85mm f/1.8 AFS-G. Both of those lenses delivered great overall build quality and fantastic images, so my standards were set very high for this 28mm.
