JDD brings up some good points in his post on the Canon 5D Mark II: most lenses can't resolve enough detail to take advantage of a 21 megapixel sensor.
I must say I've been relatively disappointed with the performance of my 24-70L and even, to a smaller extent, the 70-200 2.8L IS. The 300/2.8 is incredible, [...]

As I said a few days ago, I closed the Photo Battle Blog.
Today I had a little time on my hands, so I've created a photoblog just for me: http://photos.nslog.com/.
Subscribe (here's the link), visit, and most rate the photos. I hope to post daily, but those times when I don't have any particularly stunning images, [...]

Just two HDR images quickly made with the SD550 (hence the less than superb quality)… The first is the opening hole at Whispering Woods near sunset. The second, the 13th hole at mid-day.

The subdomain "pic.nslog.com" that I was running prior to today has been shuttered. It didn't accomplish what I had hoped it would accomplish - to drive me to create interesting photographs every day for a year.
That's due to a number of reasons. The competition wasn't very stiff at all. Too many people voted, en masse, [...]

For Sale (make me an offer, including shipping in the U.S.): Canon 5D body, in great shape, battery charger, and two spare batteries. Also includes USB cable (do you really need another one?), 128 MB CompactFlash card, and possibly the remote control. Make me an offer. I'd prefer to avoid eBay, after all.

A few days ago I noticed that Rivet wasn't sharing all of the images in my Aperture library, or even displaying all of the albums with images. I spent a few hours not thinking about the problem, then poked and peeked and looked inside my Aperture Library bundle at the ApertureData.xml file. It was 192 [...]

Aside from the occasional instances of horrible grammar, Tiger Woods PGA Tour '09 is a joy to play. Very well crafted game.
Update: I spotted another typo, but it was on a loading screen (at Cog Hill) and I couldn't snap a pic in time. iPhone "Camera.app" takes too long to launch, as do I from [...]

Seems I enjoy using my iPhone to take pictures of typos. After all, there's this, this, and now this:

I really, really like Whispering Woods, and I'll likely be a member there next year exclusively (instead of being at both Lake View and Whispering Woods), but someone might want to check their spelling before posting signs:

I print a lot of 4x6 images from Aperture. I just crop to the right ratio (2x3 = 4x6), export full size to preserve as much detail as possible, and upload to the Wal-Mart website. An hour later I pick up the 4x6 prints.
Today Carey asked me to print four images per 4x6, giving her [...]

I've written about Torero's before, but let it be known: they don't give you a small amount of food.

I'm sure there's a little optical tomfoolery going on here (those are my wife's arms, after all, and not those of a two-foot-tall doll), but I can assure you the plate is a full foot wide, and [...]

I've just purchased PhotoCalc for the iPhone. It's $2.99 and it does a number of things handy for photographers, including:

Depth of Field and Hyper-focal Distance calculator
Sunrise/sunset/solar noon calculator
Reference section with glossary, and reference documents
Configurable to use half or third stops
Comprehensive camera database for Depth of Field calculations

Should be well worth the $2.99, even if I [...]

I was quite pleased to get the first slot next to the exit at the Cincinnati Zoo. Unfortunately, when we came out, we found another car parked next to us in what is clearly not a parking space. We had almost no room to even get into the car let alone to load our stroller [...]
