When you go on vacation, you want to take as much gear with you as possible. But then your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/life partner/significant other/puppy starts yelling at you because you took THEIR shoes out of the suitcase to put in YOUR backup tripod and you’re like, seriously Violet, you’re taking like…TWO pairs of shoes!!!! Why do you...

It’s Bargain time again! This time I have something for you Pentax people out there. I know I mostly focus on Nikon gear and touch on Canon stuff occasionally and pretty much ignore all other camera companies, but I’m trying to fix that! This one is something that I didn’t want to put up because I want it for myself so bad. Yep, even though you might have a Nikon...

Do you remember these posts? Usually I find bargains with more things in the listing like a camera with a few lenses and maybe a flash or two. If you have never seen one of my bargain posts before then you should know that I am addicted to eBay and more recently, Gumtree. I love to spend HOURS scouring the web looking for great camera bargains. I never buy anything...

So at the start of this month it was my birthday (march 4th for those of you who didn’t know…just sayin’) and with my Birthday/Christmas/any special occasion that involves gifts comes money that I put towards camera gear. This year I decided to go with some flashes, light modifiers and stands so I can set up a little studio that can get moved around with relative...

It’s that time again, but you better act fast (and live in Adelaide) for this one! We have here a bundle of Nikon goodies. Couple of lenses, camera and flash as well as accessories. The Nikon D80 was released halfway through 2006 and discontinued in mid 2008, which is apparently when the seller bought this one brand new. They are claiming less then 7000 shots, so it...

If you have been following this blog then you know about the dome flash diffuser I recently bought from Mydashop off eBay. You will also know that I love eBay. I would have little eBay babies. And we would all live in a house that I bought off eBay. But just because I am having this torrid love affair with eBay, doesn’t mean that I am oblivious to people selling...

This is the first of these posts with many more to come. I am addicted to eBay and even though most people are asking for more than what their stuff is worth, occasionally you can still find some really great bargains if you look hard enough. So here we go with a pretty good package for cannon lovers. Lets take a look at what you get and what they cost when new: Canon...
Learn MoreCheck it out! I told you I’d get around to writing about the new ND filter. ND stands for neutral density and comes in varying grades varying from 1 to 8. Mine is an ND 8 by a company called Tian Ya. Yes it is from Hong Kong and isn’t a well known brand like Cokin or Hoya, But those were $40 and mine was $12. But does it work!??! That is indeed the most important...
Learn MoreHello! Got a brand new lens, thought I’d review it. I want to get into band photography so a couple of things are good to have. 1. A lens with a very wide aperture and 2. A wide-angle lens to help capture the whole stage. If you look around you’ll see that unless you are buying a fixed focal length lens, anything with an aperture wider than 3.5 starts to get...
