The Think Tank Rotation 360 camera backpack is a pretty amazing contraption. It’s a new take on the camera backpack concept. We’ve seen sling bags and other variations on the backpack. As far as I know though, the Rotation 360 is the only one that lets you keep the backpack completely on your back while retrieving your camera. [click to continue…]

Everyone needs a good tripod and head combo. I’ve spent some time lately with the Benbo Trekker MK3 tripod. In this review you’ll find my impressions of this kit, what it can do for you, and what kind of photographer that I think the Trekker MK3 is built for. [click to continue…]

Interesting in shaking things up in your photography? How about shaking things up by using a single, 50mm lens for a year?
That’s what Project 10-50 is all about – “making pictures of the year 2010 with the use of 50mm prime lenses only.”
It doesn’t matter the brand of your camera or the model of your lens – so long as it’s 50mm in length. And, we’re big fans of the 50mm lenses.
Here’s the pitch from the Project 10-50 crew to you:
We’ve just started a new initiative: Project 10-50.
It’s all about photographing with nothing but 50mm prime lenses – one year long: 2010 (hence 10-50 …).
Any brand camera or lens will do – as long as it’s a 50mm prime only. Besides beautiful stunning pictures we’re looking for something to learn from eachother as well. So every picture posted has to contain the EXIF data and if possible ‘the story’ behind it. We want to read how people had to ‘work’ to ‘make’ the picture instead of just ‘taking’ it with a comfortable super-dooper-zoom lens.
The word is starting to spread already and people are starting to join.
Will you help us making it a little bigger too?

RitzCamera.com (not the bankrupt brick & mortar stores) is clearing out some Pentax stock. I checked on a few of the prices and it seems like a pretty good deal for those of you Pentax shooters out there.
There are DSLRs (the K20D seems to be discontinued at most retailers), point and shoot cameras, lenses, flashes, batteries, grips, etc. in the clearance. Here’s the link.
