  • 14 August, 2012 – Tokina 300mm Mirror Lens for MFT – A Hands-On Review

    Mirror lenses have been around since the 1950’s. Some are better than others, but they never are really up to the quality of a good prime of comparable focal length, or even a decent zoom.

    But their small size and comparative low cost keep them popular among some photographers, and their unique "drawing" ability appeals to some.

    Lens maker Tokina had just released a 300mm F6.3 Macro Mirror lens for Micro Four Thirds, and I have just field tested this new lens on my Olympus OM-D E-M5. My review is now online.

     "Every time I go back to a module I had already seen, I learn additional things.  I have never seen tutorials that have the excellent mix of what the features are, 
    how to use them, enough of the under-the-hood information 
    and concepts so that I can utilize the features creatively and efficiently, 
    and just enough humor to keep the motivation level high.  Wow!    "

  • 18 July, 2012 – Improbable Leviathan – The Kebler Pass Aspen Grove, by Miles Hecker

    Did you know that a grove of Aspen is a single organism? I didn’t – at least not until I read Mile’s Hecker’s latest geotagged location essay Improbable Leviathan – The Kebler Pass Aspen Grove. 

         

    "You and Jeff did it again!  A great series of videos.

    I’ve watched the earlier Camera to Print series as well as the LR 2 & 3 videos and as usual, I learned
    new technique and ideas even though I’ve been behind a camera for 45 years.

    Additionally, the rapport you two have is most engaging, enjoyable, and totally different than the sterile video tutorials from others (I’m afflicted with being a visual learner). 

    Again, a great series of videos that have helped me grow once again."

  • 20 August, 2012 – Are Museums Destroying Art?

    Many photographers find visiting art museums to be inspirational. But there is another type of photographer – trophy hunting tourists and school kids – who are destroying not just the pleasure of a museum visit, but likely also the art itself.

    Find out more in Mark Dubovoy‘s most recent essay – Are Museums Destrying Art?

    Companies are like people, they have personalities. Some are slow and methodical, other aggressive and adventurous.
