Peter K. Burian • Jun 01, 2000 • 0 comments

Whenever outdoor photographers discuss their favorite gear, one significant item is frequently overlooked. Binoculars, though not categorized as photo equipment, can be invaluable for scanning or scouting an area and for searching out potential subjects. Especially in bird and wildlife...

Downloading On The Run; Portable Digital Storage Units And CD Burners For The On-The-Go Photographer
Accessories
Stan Trzoniec • Jul 01, 2006 • 0 comments

Traveling today with a digital camera is certainly an enjoyable experience. If we are not careful in the field, however, at the end of the day we wind up with too many images and nowhere to place them. You can carry extra CompactFlash cards, but that can be expensive and you have to back them up anyway as you go. In addition, today's high-resolution digital SLRs, like my...

Eight Unique Monopods; Multifaceted Camera Support Options
Accessories
Dave Howard • Jun 01, 2005 • Published: Jul 01, 2005 • 0 comments

A monopod can be as simple as a walking stick with a 1/4"-20 camera screw on top, or a high-end industrial model created for field use with professional TV and video cameras. Yet many photographers fail to comprehend their benefits, other than being handy for chasing the cat out from under the bed. They reason that if you can't shoot handheld for whatever reason, then...

Epson’s P-4000 Multimedia Viewer; The Magic Box
Accessories
Joe Farace • May 01, 2006 • 0 comments

I get many questions from readers, pros, and people I meet who don't trust putting their images into a portable storage device, hoping that they'll safely be there (in the card) when they get back from a vacation. After all, the gadget has a simple job to do; it must safely hold your image files until you download them onto your computer. There are many kinds of...

Epson’s PowerLite 1715c Projector; A Portable Multimedia Sharing Device
Accessories
George Schaub • Apr 01, 2007 • 0 comments

I enjoy it when a new product arrives that holds a surprise right out of the box. The surprise with Epson's new PowerLite 1715c projector is when you first lift it out of its shoulder bag carrying case--it's the lightest projector you will probably have lifted, slide or digital. Weighing in at under 4 lbs (3.7 to be exact) and 3.1x10.7x7.6" in overall size...

To generate and continue our business growth from a small town in rural Georgia, we have focused on the equestrian market. This geographically broad niche seems to have a generous amount of expendable dollars, as well as an ample interest in images and related art. The most challenging aspect of the business--beyond...

“Something you threw together in crafts class, Princess?”—Buck Rogers in the 25th century

As a kid during the 1950s, I had one of the last Buck Rogers ray guns produced. These were actually flashlights made by Norton Honer but were designed to look like Buck’s ray gun. It’s only fitting that ExpoImaging’s Ray Flash ringlight converter projects light as...

Field Accessories For Digital SLRs; While Perhaps Not Top Priority, These Items Can Really Come In Handy
Accessories
Stan Trzoniec • May 01, 2007 • 0 comments

Being a gear head at heart, I'm not really happy unless my backpack is overflowing with neat photo equipment. However, while most of the photo gear used in the field is apparent and readily available, there are some lesser-known products that seem to earn their keep fast. Some are for very specific shooting situations or environments while others never seem to be used until...

There are many accessories that not only make life pleasurable in the field, but also add greatly to the picture-taking experience. Here are some of my favorites, most of which go with me depending on what my course of action might be:
First on my list is a good, heavy-duty, but light to carry tripod. My choice for comfort and support is a carbon-fiber model. Two actually, one of which...

4GB CompactFlash Card For All Digicams
Accessories, Features
George Schaub • May 01, 2004 • 0 comments

If you recall our review of the Lexar 4GB CompactFlash card in the November, 2003, issue of Shutterbug, we went to great lengths to explain why some cameras (at least at that time) couldn't accept the card, or at least couldn't deliver the 4GB capacity. It all has to do with FAT 16...

Jay Abend • May 01, 2001 • 0 comments

Over the years I've seen a lot of weird and bizarre photo products. While the photo market is a relatively modest niche all by itself, there are always those willing to cater to the sub-niches and micro-niches within. When a Flashkon 2000...

Foolography’s Unleashed Geotagger; Bluetooth Enabled For Nikon D-SLRs
Accessories
Jack Neubart • Jul 01, 2010 • 0 comments

Until now I thought I’d experienced practically every flavor of geotagging device on the planet (“Geotagging Devices And Software: Now You’ll Always Know Where You Took That Picture,” Shutterbug, May 2009). So when I was later introduced to Foolography at a trade exposition, I didn’t pay too much attention to their new Unleashed. Until they offered to send a test...
