Participant Feedback from our Texas Bird Photo Safaris

"We had very good photo opportunities in every session except on afternoon which was slow. The set ups were well planned and accommodating. I would classify myself as a wannabe photography; I enjoy for my personal use. I learned that my camera is a much more capable tool than how I had previously used it. By listening to David and watching how he used his gear, I learned much about operation of my camera. Now I want to learn more and become more proficient which will involve practice that I look forward to doing.

DPS 7-03: PMA 09 Show Special Issue--Better than Being There, What you need to know without leaving your chair

One of the best features of DigitalPro Shooter & the nikondigital.org website is that we have a focus on our readers. So rather than present you with hundreds of new product blurbs or flog products we get paid to sell you we sift through everything out there and try to give you some cogent comments on the ones that are really interesting. Some may be products of value to you today, some in the future and some are just plain cool and point the way to future offerings. So with that in mind after our first two days here, with a couple dozen hours of product briefings and a few miles of shoe leather here are some of the coolest new products we've found.

I've come up with a set of tools and techniques that taken together can help you minimize the danger of losing any personal information or other valuable or private data you may have on your laptop or type into your web browser.

DPS 7-01: Infrared Adventures & Images, Lowepro Classified 250, NiMH Hybrids Pay off

 

Welcome to Volume 7 of DigitalPro Shooter, the Nikondigital.org newsletter. In our 8th year of publication we're as committed as ever to providing you with real world photo tips and news of interest to serious photographers--especially those using Nikon and Canon digital cameras. I'm quite excited today to be bringing you a follow up to the very popular article on Infrared photography I wrote for PC Magazine (you can find my previous Infrared article online). That article went through the basics of shooting digital infrared, but after spending a month in Southeast Asia with a converted D70 from LifePixel I have a lot more to share in terms of more advanced thoughts, tips and techniques for those who are serious about IR. I also road-tested the new Lowepro Classified 250AW and a set of new Eneloop hybrid rechargeable batteries so I'm happy to share my results with them as well.
