Introduction:
CompactFlash cards are not very popular anymore as Secure Digital cards are typically much cheaper. That being said, pro-sumer Digital SLR cameras as well as full Professional SLR cameras use CompactFlash as it seems to be more reliable and is certainly faster [...]
While winter brings its own beauty, I often find myself uninspired to take out my camera when it gets cold outside. I was looking through a few of winter pictures that I’d taken last year and hope to get inspired to try out my 300S this winter. Here in Alberta we are currently sitting under [...]
I’m a junkie… It’s an addiction that I can’t put away and unfortunately costs a whole lot. I’m talking about photography and although you can’t always chase after the latest and the greatest gear, sometimes there comes along a nifty piece of hardware or software that is worth the money. I recently purchased the onOne [...]

I’m happy to be taking a break from the rat-race/madness that is my life here in sunny Southern Alberta and heading down to see the in-laws. Unlike most people (at least stereotyped people), I get along quite well with my in-laws and will enjoy getting away. We do have at least one day [...]
It has been an absolutely crazy month around here, but I was able to head out west into Kananaskis Country with the family and took a half-day hike around the Sheep River Falls area. This was an exceptionally good time as my boys are old enough to enjoy the outdoors and put in some good [...]
If you’ve got a nice camera – or any camera for that matter, you may wonder how many times you can pull out the card and plug it into your computer without wearing things out. Quite a while ago I picked up an Eye-Fi card to accompany me on a trip. This card doesn’t have [...]
