Update: new photos of the recent snowfall taking with this amazing wide angle lens. Click here to see it!
Forgive my indulgence, I wanted to write a quick post about my latest lens, the stunning Nikon 14-24mm F/2.8 ultra wide bad boy.
Even though I have had this amazing lens for some time now, I have not had the opportunity to use it as a proper gig. It has come out with me on a few weddings but even then I trust my Go-To lens more which is the Nikon 24-70 F2/8.  …

This beast from Tamron has given me pause for thought. It has a 15x zoom range which is unheard of in the SLR world which gives the travelling photographer a huge advantage by not having to carry many lenses around with him.

Digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras are the standard tool for serious photographers. With the introduction of cameras such as the Nikon D40 and the Canon Digital Rebel XTi the market for digital SLR cameras has expanded tremendously.

I review the stunning 70-200mm F2.8 AF-S VR lens. It’s big, it’s clever and it’s fast but there is one situation where I would wouldn’t consider taking it with me

I’m huge fans of this band. Very talenting, awesome energy, full commitment to their sound and lyrics so I’m dedicated a page just for them. Click here for the photos. Or go to http://www.slashedseataffair.co.uk/ for the official website

Saturday night, King’s Head. Heard the band Slashed Seat Affair. They gave an amazing energetic performance. Visit http://www.slashedseataffair.co.uk/ to hear their tracks.
Rob, Drummer. I used the Pocket Wizard flash trigger to create that ray of light effect.[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="399" caption="Darren, Bass guitar. "][/caption]

Choosing Lenses for Concert Photography | ishootshows.com: Concert Photography
Todd is a photographer i have alot of respect for. I frequently visit his blog to look at what he’s been shooting. He has posted an article about the lenses he recommends when shooting musicians. You should really have a look if you are serious about photography; it’s not for the faint hearted though, the lenses are often more expensive than the camera body.
Photographing live acts is something I am very passionate about; there is something very engaging when I see performers …

The second act was something I wasn’t prepared for. I’ll admit I have not been to many local music sessions so the soft Lisa Thuenissen was something I was expecting. When The Swamis came out they were loud, fast, powerful and made me stop and go “YEEEEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
Absolutely commited rock. As well as the sound I was very impressed with their pressence and performance; for such a small venue they really rocked it out; the crowd was immediately behind them. Now remember Aylesbury is just know for it’s Ducks so three …

It was the weekender at a local pub, I couldn’t attend on Saturday beacause of conflicting photo assignments, but I am so glad I went last night. I saw 3 acts, Lisa was the first one I caught. She played a great set and was always natural infront of the camera. That’s the wonderful thing about bands, they’re always prepared to be photographed and don’t mind you taking shots.
Lisa and the band played to a receptive crowd, there was quite a buzz with many people enjoying the music.

I recieved my new lens yesterday and like a kid with a new toy I just had to test it out. So I went into town to find the largest thing I could, and behold a might crane was in town!
