    Day trips based out of Rome

    Assisi is a great day trip out of Rome. It's a bit of a distance, just under 2 hours by train, but definitely worth the trip. It's also a great place to do an overnight stay at too. Even though it's small, the city is very quaint and full of history, and you can dedicate a full day at least to...

    From a Church in Rome

    Thank you, Kelly! Thank you, Scott! Yeah, it really was a nice little church. The hanging tapestries really made it unique.

    From a Church in Rome

    Thanks! On the processing on this image I took one shot in color (1/13th second at f2.8) and then did some selective color adjustment and shadow recovery. I converted a copy of the same image to monochrome, then layered the colored copy on the bottom with the monochrome image layered on top. I...

    From a Church in Rome

    Thanks! I was not able to use a tripod. I used a pew at the back of the church to brace the camera on though, so I was able to get the low light exposure I was looking for.

    UK, Italy

    Nice series! Btw, how did you manage to get an empty Colosseum?? You either did some amazing post processing to get the people out, or went at an early hour. I've never seen it like that before. It's been packed both times I've been there.

    Canadian Arctic!!!

    Wow nice! Being that I live in South Florida, I've never shot in an extremely cold environment like that. Does the gear handle any differently in that kind of climate??

    D700 + SanDisk 32GB CF Card - Works?

    I've filled a 32GB SanDisk CF card more times than I can count while shooting the d700 during traveling and never once had an issue.

    What to shoot in Naples,Fl

    Sunsets, sunsets, and sunsets! You will be amazed at the landscape potentials with the sun setting over the Gulf of Mexico. Vanderbilt Beach is my personal favorite spot to photograph sunsets from. The Naples pier also provides some good shots too, but it's usually a much more crowded spot...

    Can someone point me in the right direction, Sigma or tamron 18-200?

    I previously owned the Sigma 18-250. It was a great walkaround lens for the low price it cost. It's obviously not going to stand up to a 2.8 Nikkor in any category, but as an all-in-one lens for times when you don't want to carry the weight of several zooms with you, it does the job quite well...

    Seeking advice on bluetooth keyboard for an iPad.

    Hey Rich, I use this one from Brookstone and have found it well made and easy to use. The keyboard can be detached from the case and still used, which comes in handy when using it in bed or on a sofa where you can't or don't want to prop the whole iPad on your lap...

    14-24 vs 16-35

    I'll vote for the 14-24mm lens. It has become my all time favorite lens to pair with a d700. It does have a learning curve, though. You have to be extra careful to make sure your camera is level, and be aware of what is in your frame, as there is minimal distortion on the wide 14mm end of the...
