“Yeah, yeah, yeah….” I can hear you saying, “forget the photos of people and cats and ice on the roof of your car. What we, the collective borg want to know is….can the V1 with the 18.5mm f/1.8 take pictures of food?” You tell me… 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO450 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO800 1/125s, f/1.8, ISO400 And…

Low light/high ISO performance is the new megapickle. Whenever a new camera is announced, one of the first questions is, “How is the high ISO performance?” I’m one of the guilty parties, since I do most of my shooting with available light. And then the sample images come out, followed by the first shots of…

More shots with the Nikon 1 V1 with 18.5mm f/1.8. This time featuring more of the Minolta CLE.

No it’s not, actually. I just made that up. But I thought that I’d post some Google Trends of Pentax’s camera line: For those wondering what this is, it’s a graph of how frequently someone has gone to Google and searched for each of the Pentax cameras. It’s interesting that the tiny Q is the…

I’m in the midst of doing some market research on a project, and while I was compiling site traffic data on Compete.com, curiosity got the better of me and I started looking at site traffic for some of the photography websites that I visit regularly. One thing led to another and I plotted the 2012…

So one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to take fewer pictures. That’s right, to shoot less. I took over 40,000 photos last year, and while I’ve got a ton of hard drive space I don’t have a ton of time to really go through them. There are probably some nice photos in there that…
