I’m good at messing up stuff. I’ll admit it. Take for instance the photo above. It is the final shot I took of many while in the Kazumura Cave on the Big Island of Hawaii. And it still needs help. In a recent post here on DPS entitled 14 Tips For Cave Photography, I explained [...]
It’s time to open up your favorite photo gear catalog and pick a page! My question to you is this: If you could only have one lens for the rest of your days, what would it be and why?
The reason I ask is because the bittersweet decision says a lot about a photographer and their [...]
Hawai’i’s Big Island is rife with photography opportunities, including those below the surface. I recently was a guest on an underground tour of the Kazumura Cave, the world’s longest lava tube with a length over 40 miles. While I didn’t explore the whole length (only a small fraction) this was my second time in a [...]
Our last Monthly Critique featured an image from Lynne Daley with a dream-like quality. This process is sometimes called the Orton Effect and Helen Brady laid out a great tutorial for producing such images using only one image in her article The Orton Effect: Mimicking darkroom processes in Photoshop. For those looking to create the [...]
A while back I posted some tips on Digital Photography School entitled 8 Guidelines To Taking Panoramic Photos With Any Camera, followed by 20 Great Stitched Panorama Examples and lastly Creating Panoramas With hugin Photo Stitcher.

While hard and fast stats have not been released, and while the press [...]
The i-gotU GT-120 is the smallest, simplest GPS data logger I’ve ever used. About the size of a 9V battery, the unit has only one button and two lights. That’s it. In this review I intend to relate my experience using this device over the course of three months of travel which included a [...]
Released earlier this year, the Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM is a mouthful to say but a true pleasure to work with. I begrudgingly write this review because it means I have to send the test lens back to Sigma….
…and I really don’t want to!
I had the task of testing this lens on [...]
Like a lot of photographers, I carry a camera around just about everywhere I go. But it’s not always my preferred DSLR as the bulk and weight often preclude easy travel, especially if I’m just heading to the store.
A Point & Shoot (P&S) camera, however, easily slips into my pocket or resides peacefully [...]
