Photographing Historic Sites with Nikon 1
Depending on our individual interests many of us visit historic sites, especially when on holidays. Photographing these sites can be challenging given the crowds that visit during the height of the tourist season. Planning a trip mid-week, or in the off season, can help reduce the number of people in our images so we can focus on the attributes of the historic site.

Comparison of Shooting 1 Nikon 10-100mm lenses at f/16
I was out this afternoon doing a bit of field work for my upcoming review of the 1 Nikon 10-100 mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens.

I had neglected to bring any variable neutral density filters with me, and since I had left my tripod in the car I thought I’d use the opportunity to do a bit of an experiment. I had my 1 Nikon 10-100 mm f/4.5-5.6 PD zoom with me, along with the 10-100 mm f/4-5.6 review sample that Nikon Canada had arranged. Shooting 1 Nikon 10-100 mm lenses at f/16 is something I hadn’t purposely tried before so I thought I’d give it a whirl. Continue reading Comparison of Shooting 1 Nikon 10-100mm lenses at f/16
