The defaults on the Nikon D90 are NOT by any means reasonable for autofocusing. You need to take a minute, and change three settings! It’s easy!

Track Santa Claus using sophisticated equipment from NORAD.
Merry Christmas! A fun site for the young and young at heart, NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command) has set up a worldwide Santa Claus tracker website. Powered by Google, you can view Santa’s location as he zips across the world in his reindeer sleigh delivering toys. Santa Cams are set up to record the visit, “ultra-cool, high-tech, high-speed digital cameras pre-positioned at many locations around the world only on December 24th”. You’ll also be able to see how many cookies Santa munches on.
As Santa has gone high-tech, you can also track him via the Google Earth application, allowing the young and old to do some learning as they follow his flight. You can also follow NORAD as they track Santa Claus via their Facebook, Twitter, and Picasa pages. Plus, his location is available on your mobile phone. And, there’s even a gadget for iGoogle….

Long-time readers of this site are already familiar with London-based commercial and advertising photographer Drew Gardner. Many of you will be happy to know that he has just released a commercial series of walk-thru videos of over a dozen of his more notable shoots, broken into McDonald’s lunch-priced segments.
I have always enjoyed Drew’s lighting, but even more so his creativity and imagination when approaching a shoot. And frequently, that ability to source a location or bootstrap say, an elephant or water buffalo as a prop for a shoot is more key to making the magic happen than knowing where to put your soft box.
I have had a chance to view most of them, and the takeaway for me has been that there is generally one unexpected or unusual thing you have to figure out to make a shot come together. For me, that is a big lesson — because I am usually about the light.
But Drew seems to have a talent for hitting the curve ball that comes at you from left field. And I would give a lot of lighting skill away to be able to do that so seemingly effortlessly. I learn something from the guy every time we talk.
Drew kindly made one of the tutorials free, and I have embedded it above. (Blip.tv is ad-rolling it, but you can click them away.) You see the other photos selected for video tutorials here.
