Anniversary V California Coast
My wife and I just celebrated five years of matrimonial bliss. At her request, we took one of our semi-regular trips to the coast. We overnighted in Santa Barbara, Solvang, and Cambria. Here are a few of the favorite photos along with a little text. We started off in downtown Ventura to poke around the shops. Before long,… -
Re: Dark skin
The problem with black skin is the variety and range of tones. There is equal variety in caucasian skin but the range is much narrower and the difference tends to be straightforward: magenta and yellow will be proportional throughout the range; the difference will be how far ahead of cyan they run.

Re: de-lurk yourselves
Finally De-lurking.. Attn: Sports Shooters Hi All! I've finally de-lurked... I've been a Smugger for about two years and have thoroughly enjoyed it all and have learned a huge amount from all of you plus the tutorials. It almost feels like I know many of you. Got my 1st DSLR about 2 years ago, a Nikon D80 (how do I turn it… -
Re: Suggestion for travel lens
Update: Good thing I'm not superstitious or I would start to think I am jinxed, at least when it comes to recent orders for photo gear. First I dragged my feet a bit too long and missed the KEH lens. But B&H had a 9+ listed for 46% off the new price which still seemed like a pretty good deal so I ordered it. It arrived… -

Re: A Trip Too Small: Fiji, New Zealand, and Some More
The north end of the South Island has a few beaches on it that are great tourist destinations. The one we had seen postcard-worthy photos of was Wharariki Beach near the Farewell Spit, so we headed north early in the morning to catch a 7:00am low tide and found ourselves traversing a very nice trail through some beautiful… -
Re: Is a $1000 monitor really worth it
My comments in blue above. I retained the key points from your original copy and paste. Re 6bit + AFRC Typically people want a monitor with a true 8bit or pseudo 10bit panel to minimize banding. I read a lot of monitor reviews and have not seen much at all re banding with the current generation of 6bit + AFRC e-IPS… -
Re: Week in St. Croix
Meanwhile I was in a wheelchair but there was no one to take the luggage. I asked a man who was standing there and he said the redcaps had red shirts. In the course of talking to him and wheeling myself over to the luggage, I got onto the handicapped ramp and rolled backward out into the crosswalk. No one was coming so no… -
The Grand Canyon - North Rim and Toroweap
I was lucky enough to make two motorcycle/photographic expeditions to The Grand Canyon this summer. Once with my 10 year old son and again with a fellow motorcyclist/photographer. The trips were 5 days each. I'm just an amatuer photographer who started really trying to learn only 2 years ago with my first DSLR. I have… -
