First, for those who might not be familiar with the term, mirror lock-up (MLU) is a function on many SLR cameras which helps reduce vibration inside the camera. In the sequence that follows pressing the shutter release (mirror moves up out of the way, second curtain activates, first curtain exposes, second curtain closeses, mirror returns [...]
Today’s post will not directly answer the above posed question for you. Previously I had written about how useful a simple close-up lens, which screws onto the end of a normal lens, can be when traveling.

I have written previously on DPS about travel photography and a question I get asked often is, “How do you keep your gear safe while traveling?” What I think people are really asking is, “How do I make sure people don’t steal my camera on my next trip?” I have been lucky in that I [...]
Utah bills itself as the National Park capital of the United States and I happen to agree with them.

After my last post on the $5000 Photocrati Grant, I started searching the net for other opportunities that aren’t popularity based contest.
