Here is an image of my daughter-in-law that I took last week, on the 4th of July. By chance, the occasion was that we had gathered the entire family together for multi-generational group photos by a professional photographer. This is one of the images that I shot while we were there. - Tom - Great ...

Wow! What vivid colors in that beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing! Bryce Canyon is a photographer's paradise. Stand in the same spot and the colors will change constantly as the light changes with clouds in the sky and motion of the sun. It's only a three hour drive from the North Rim of Grand...

This is actually an older shot, taken last year when I was experimenting with older manual focus lenses on my NEX-6. In this case the lens was a Russian Jupiter 9 (85mm) lens I happened to be looking back through these photos today, and suddenly realized that this happens to be an image that qualif...

When I go to an event, lets say, a concert or so, I don't usually take pictures. And, if i finally do it, it will be by the end. Because I don't enjoy the event through the camera. I do work through the camera, it is a filter, or a shield, that protect me from the whole experience -but if I'm at a ...

Those mirrorless thingies are definitely getting better, but how competitive would they be when the light level goes south? Greg Personally, I have found that when the light level gets quite low I prefer my NEX-6 to my A700. It automatically boosts the brightness of the viewfinder image and makes i...

I believe my iPhone has the same ability but I don't always have it with me and often keep it switched off entirely when roaming - abroad - because of costs. Good point! I have not traveled outside the US since I got a phone that contains a GPS, so I forgot about the potential issue of roaming char...

Although this GPS module is very simple and now 5 year old tech, it did what my A99/55/77 can not do and got a fix inside my house. I'll still hope for a Multi Function Accessory Shoe GPS and firmware updates to use it, but this it about to make my travel kit as small and light as you can imagine. ...

Neither of these images was really intended as a portrait shot, but I'll put them here anyway. The Arizona youth symphony in which my older granddaughter plays came to SoCal this weekend to perform in two separate music festivals - and to spend a day at Disneyland. :-) When my granddaughter got off...

My son's wife works at a women's boutique store in a multi-level enclosed shopping mall a few miles from us, and I often drive her to work or pick her up on the weekend. A few weeks ago, I happened to get there about 45 minutes before she was scheduled to get off work, and decided to pass the time ...

Nice shots Tom, and I especially like that last one - great perspective. :) Thank you. It's one of my favorites also. It's one of the rare cases where I actually planned a shot instead of just recognizing it in front of me. I saw the ship heading out of San Diego Harbor when I was standing at the C...

To play games with names, here are some additional photos of a Cabrillo Lighthouse on the coast of California. However, these photos - which I took in 2009 with my A700 - are not from Point Cabrillo, but from Point Loma, at San Diego Harbor and about 400 miles south of Point Cabrillo. Why do I call...

This image was captured last weekend at a local shopping mall. I had gone to the mall with the goal of capturing some images of the architecture and lighting inside the mall., which I happen to find rather interesting. I saw this scene and could not resist a very, very quick shot. It was probably t...
