LENSTOPIA Part II – The 5 Top Lenses For Your Nikon Camera

Nikon Df Unboxing Video + Test Images + First Impressions While Actually Shooting Photos [gasp!]

Video thumbnail of unboxing the Nikon Df camera

ChaseJarvis_Nikon DF_1
Wow. Two new cameras on my blog in one week (here's the other one).

5 Great Film Cameras on a Tiny Budget

You know I love film. Just shot my Polaroid 600E yesterday and loved it. Shot the Hassie the week before, and just loaded a roll into my Lomo 'Sardine'. That said, seeing that damn near everything has (obviously and justly) gone digital, film cameras are dirt cheap. And whether you're a seasoned pro or an iphone snapper, a good dose of shooting actual film would be good for you. Trust me on this. So that's... read more ›

Size Matters: How to Build a HUGE Panoramic Photo, From Capture to Final Image [272 Gigapixel !!]

Earlier in the week I shared my gear list for the hike up Kilimanjaro with Summit on the Summit. While on the mountain I snapped off a slew of panoramas and sent them to my buddy Mark, who does digital retouching with his company PARADOX VISUAL.
