Silky Water — Handheld!
by Susan
What is this, some sort of magic? No, it’s not magic at all. In fact, it’s something that’s been around for a while. And I was thrilled to be able to replicate it! <—– because I’m a newb, and these easy things still excite me. The Big Three camera makers, though, are just beginning to catch on to it and are now putting it … Read More Silky Water — Handheld!

So, there I was … Read More Requiem for the 1100d

I didn’t even know what a bridge camera was until maybe a year-and-a-half or so ago, when I decided to concentrate on nature photography. That’s when I yearned for a 400mm lens to replace my very-good-but-now-hardly-used 300. It wasn’t long before I wanted a 600 to replace the 400 — and that’s where I was stuck until I discovered bridge cameras. Sure, I could … Read More Love ’em or Loathe ’em?
