Seriously trivial thoughts
Well, the storm passed and I was able to get down to a local pond to test out my new D7200 and the Tamron 150-600. Boy, what a difference a cropped sensor makes compared to using my D750.
Blackbird Antiques in Comfort, TX is a great place to find interesting antiques, home decor, bedding and more. The owner, Karen Frias, has two adorable pugs (used to be three…miss you Eddie!) that are worth the visit alone.
I got a nice deal on the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens so I took it out for a test drive this morning. This is my first experience with a super zoom and here are my initial thoughts.
Mom and Dad came up for a visit for the first time since I bought this place 5 years ago. That was a treat! I tried several new photography techniques on this trip, like bracketed exposures to create HDR images. I particularly like the one where the sky looks on fire. Used my new 20mm …
I recently posted about how much I love the Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. Well, I finally got to take it on an airplane. My biggest worry was if it would fit in the under-seat space. I keep a lot of other stuff besides camera gear in it, so it needs to be readily accessible during the …

When I travel, I use my Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+, which also has my computer travel stuff like chargers, cables, USB drive, …
A few years ago I tried a free subscription to an online storage company. It was ok, but I ended up deciding it was too slow to be usable. These days, however, my bandwidth is a little more robust and since I’m getting into photography more, I’ve decided to give online storage another try.
I’m a little late to the Gura Gear party, but I recently replaced my trusty Ogio Renegade with the Gura Gear Kiboko 22L+. While I love the Ogio, I just got to the point where I needed a real camera bag (I’ve got a Nikon D750, several lenses, TTL flash, etc. and a Coolpix P900 on the …
I’ve got a lot of bags I can use as a lightweight day bag for my basic camera gear, but I wanted one I could also use when I travel. You see, I hate checking bags and another carry-on really wasn’t an option since my travel suitcase and gadget backpack use up my two carry-on limit. Thus, I needed …
