Laguna Seca Experience

Tips on shooting a focus stack
For those who attended the June meetup, Wayne talked about focus stacking and how he shoots it by focusing on the near point and then just gradually moves the focus out to infinity. Here’s a little video he shot in Death Valley that demonstrates this.
Review of the AS-F NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

I’ve tried many of these little cameras and have written about most of them. I started with a Canon G9 moving up to a G11 before switching […]

Since Lightroom 2 came out, my use of Photoshop has declined considerably. With all the tools of Lightroom, especially local adjustments, many of the things […]
