Sony HVL-F43AM review.

The new Sony mid-level flash unit is the best that Sony or Minolta has ever produced.  It has a fast recycle time of less than 3 seconds at full power, 4 second modeling flash, a 15mm wide panel diffuser, (look for a 10mm-? zoom soon), customizable multi-flash emission, weather sealing, (I don’t see it), a …

Noticed:

*A brand new NEX-5 bundle* (18-55mm, 16mm, an 8gb card and nice padded carrying case) for $599!  Offer ends Sunday the 27th!  The latest NEX-5N is $599 for the body only!

Updated recommended products page.

I put up a new page to give you some ideas on how to make better pictures during, (and after) the holiday season.  Most items were culled from the other two ‘recommended’ pages, although I’ve added a couple of new items too.  Here you’ll find accessories like neutral density, graduated ND, and polarizing filters, flashes, …

Real Estate sample shot.

Here’s another sample shot from a Real Estate shoot.  It’s also similar to another shot from a few months ago, but I guaranty it’s not the same one!  Upscale homes in Southern Arizona almost always have a pool with a view.

Get yourself an early X-mas present.

SanDisk went and lowered
the prices on its flash cards today.  Video junkies and serious shooters might want to check out the 32gb card, it’s $51.95 with free shipping.  I bought the same card last year for twice the price.  A very economical choice is the 16gb, $25.95, which records over 1000 …
