Nikon Announces the D3100 DSLR
Enhanced Guide Mode and the Ability to Shoot 1080p High Definition (HD) Video with Full Time Auto Focus Allow Users to Capture with Confidence
They are getting better and better. Entry DSLRs have surpassed high end DSLRs we were buying just a few years. If you’re in the market for a second body, you’ll want to look into one of these entry DSLRs. The Nikon D3100 looks intriguing. Packing Nikon’s new 14.2Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor, full HD Video recording (now becoming standard fare for DSLR owners), a 3-inch monitor with one-touch Live View shooting and movie capture and a new easy to use intuitive interface, experienced DSLR owners may want to take note when it comes to adding gadgets, inexpensively to their camera bag.

Photographing Rare Clouds
Rare Occurrence of Undulus Asperatus at Sunset
Long time nut for photographing storms and clouds here. I do admit it. Been working on my “Sky” portfolio for years. On the night of June 23, 2010 we had some powerful storms roll through Michigan. Passing through early evening, we were presented with an extremely rare occurence of what is a newly designated cloud type; Undulus Asperatus clouds. I’ve only seen them just a few times in the past 20 years, but last night was the first opportunity for me to capture the images of these rare clouds.
dpreview.com Review of Canon EOS Rebel T2i/550d
dpreview.com has posted an extensive hands-on review of the Canon EOS T2i/550d. dpreview.com is the best site on the web for in-depth digital camera reviews.

The T2i isn’t in stock at a lot of the resellers yet. I actually had a hands-on with the T2i at my local reseller last month. Click here to go to that article.

The Canon T2i – Hands On First Impressions
How We Are Getting Value For Our Digital Camera Dollars
Taking a little trip yesterday to the local camera store (unfortunately a dying breed) I had the surprise to see the new Canon T2i on the shelves. Canon is just starting to ship their initial orders. The owner of the store told me he already sold out of his first shipment of 20, but kept one on display, and thats when I went to play.
The Canon EOS 7D – The Best APS-C Digital Camera?
One thing that competition has brought us in the DSLR market in the past 7 or 8 years are great digital cameras. Price points have settled for now, where entry level digital cameras can be had for about $500, like the Nikon 3000d. Basic they are, some minus features we suggest, like autobracketing. Others are fully packed with as many features as we’ll ever be able to use as a price under $900 U.S. like the new Canon T2i. Others still qualify as professional level tools like the Canon EOS 7D.
Ready To Move Up To A Graphics Tablet?
The Wacom Intuos4 Medium Pen Tablet
If you’re a Photoshop user, you’re more familiar with the problems of editing than others. For graphic artists, the mouse as a pointing device just doesn’t suffice. Its just too crude of a pointing, tracing or drawing tool. If you’re using the touch pad on a laptop, its even more of crude process.
