Check out this ingenius idea, the Spider Camera Holster. I’ve never been a fan of camera straps and the likes. I’ve always free hand carried my Nikon D50. (with 18-200mm VR lense, so yes it’s a bit heavy) The Spider Camera Holster aims to change that. (more…)
Here are some quick tips on how you can photograph fireworks for the 4th. (more…)
When your camera battery does need recharging, do so, but don’t leave the battery on the charger all week.
LCDs are the biggest component to draw power on your camera battery. If possible, dim the brightness to save battery life.
Turning the preview setting off may be the most helpful tip here.
If you’ve got a large memory card (you should), there is no need to delete images on the camera itself. Wait until your back at the computer to so. This can really drain battery life.
Pretty self explanatory. If you often shoot with the flash, get yourself an external. The results will be much better and as an added bonus, your camera battery will thank you as well.
