I got a question in my email about how I get my image quality and colors and I figured others might want to see the answer to it.

So you've probably seen the RED cameras on the internet now. Their primary goal is to get filmmakers who are so very accustomed to shooting digital video for shorts and low-end products to shoot RED cameras when they work on big Hollywood productions. And, it turns out, many of the equipment needed for a digital video camera of high enough quality for Hollywood is also good enough for photography...

Personally, I hate Black Friday when everybody is out shopping for Christmas joy on the same day, with doorbuster sales that have me worried about dodging bullets and getting trampled.

Familiarity brings friendship, which is why my favorite lens is the lens I've owned the longest...

There are a lot of people who are stuck to the idea that a good camera MUST necessarily have a reflex mirror. What makes EVF's really good wasn't obvious to me until I started shooting my RB67, even though my RB67 has a reflex mirror...

I'm surprised. The G10 is actually not half bad, even with tiny pixels on a tiny sensor. And TOP admits they were wrong about being so negative about it.

I guess all of the Polaroid users who have been buying up the last of the Polaroid film have shown Fuji that there really is a market. The Fuji integral color film is pretty similar to the Polaroid stuff, just different sizes and shapes, so you need a new camera. But at least you can get a nice and instant film new in the stores again!

Sigma, who has been the only user of Foveon sensors for quite some time now, has now completed the deal by buying the firm up.

I've been keeping my eye on these three cameras, given that one of the three is my current option when my G7 dies. Although I'm also holding out hope for a bigger sensor serious compact.

I'm very stingy with gear. When I purchase anything, I spend a lot of time researching and agonizing over it. I think more than a hundred bucks is a lot of money to spend on a lens. I make lighting bits out of cardboard and gaffer's tape.
