What a great landscape shot. A perfect example of how an interesting foreground can turn a nice landscape into a stunning landscape.
Shot with a Nikon D50.

Learning Adobe Lightroom

If you’re like me, you love Adobe Lightroom. If you’re not like me, you should give it a try. The learning curve is easy. The controls are intuitive. It blows through RAW files as seamless as iPhoto does with JPEGs. It’s not quite the power hog that Aperture is either.

No camera bodies are included […]

Consider a visit to Picturetown, SC . . . just pack your Nikon D40 though.
Everybody knows once you go DSLR, you never go back.
If you like geotagging your photos in flickr, save some time and do the tagging via your hotshoe.

Holy cow! What a close-up wildlife shot!
Shot with the handy Canon Powershot A75. It’s 3.2MP, which just goes to show that you don’t need the latest and greatest 12MP DSLR to capture great images. Just take a look at the rest of Megan’s photostream on flickr for further proof. Other […]
