I was looking at the following lens, Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS, on Amazon today. The reason is simple: my favorite zoom is the Canon 28-135mm and I also have a Canon 20-35mm zoom. This could replace both, in theory. At something like $340, it’s affordable too. But how good is it? […]
READ MOREI skipped Sunday’s assignment for one reason or another, and so the next time I took up the camera for the Daily Shoot was for Monday, March 15 (#ds120): “Trees and plants are great photographic subjects. Make a photograph of a tree or plant today.” […]
READ MOREI write a monthly column for PCPlus, a computer news-views-n-reviews magazine in the UK (actually there are 13 issues a year — there’s an Xmas issue as well — so it’s a bit more than monthly). The column is called Theory Workshop and appears in the Make It section of the magazine. When I signed up, my editor and the magazine were gracious enough to allow me to reprint the articles here after say a year or so. What I’ll do is publish the article from a year ago or so here when I purchase the current issue. […]

READ MOREI’d skipped a couple of assignments because I was travelling to England (plus a couple that really didn’t inspire me at all), so it wasn’t until Wednesday, March 3 (#ds108) that the Daily Shoot came up with something I could sink my teeth into: “Weathered objects have a lot of character: cracked, rusted, bleached, etc. Give us your best weathered shot today.” […]
