    Paper or e-reader

    This brings up the other complaint I have with my Nook. It is enough larger than the Palm/iPhone that it isn't really a pocket device. Almost anywhere I can fit the Nook I can fit the iPad. After adding a cover that holds the light (needed) the size and weight are very close to the iPad, but the...

    Paper or e-reader

    Before I compare the current devices, some background. I've been reading e-books on handheld devices since 1995 and I've owned (or own) all of the following: various cell phones; Apple Newton; Handspring Visor; Palm Pilot 1000, M125, T2, TX, and Zire 72; Nook (e-ink); iPhone; and iPad. Out of...

    Micro 4/3 Bags, carrying cases and straps! How do you carry your gear?

    I'm currently using a Kodak bag that came as part of a kit. I had bought several of the kits as a gifts to friends using bridge or larger compact cameras and makeshift bags. I had one left and when the E-PL2 arrived, everything I had was TOO BIG! I'm using this bag for now as my carry bag. I...

    I hope so. I went out and took a few shots of familiar subjects to see what the lens/camera combo would do. I'm still looking things over but it looks good so far. Now, I just have to decide about bags. I'm using a Kodak bag that I picked up cheap last year. It was actually a kit with the bag...

    It had better be. One thing that attracted me was a compact body with 14X viewing for manual focusing. The eyes have started to go and I have a hard time manually focussing these days. Plus, mounting the S1 200/3 (really 2.8) to make an effectively 400mm @2.8 sounds like fun. Then there is the...

    What is parallax error in photography?

    If you are viewing through the lens that actually takes the image then parallax is a non-issue. When you have different lenses for viewing and taking, such as a TLR, rangefinder, or when using a separate optical finder, it can be an issue. The closer the subject is to the camera the larger the...

    I've been lurking a bit and finally decided to get an E-PL2 for everyday carry. It arrived last week and I'm still finding out what works best for me. I have the 14-42 MKII lens and a VF-2 on the way. I'm also deciding on a K-mount adapter so I can use my older Pentax K and Vivitar S1 M42 glass...

    Sculptures and Statues

    Oops, I thought I had done the W&I. Funny story on The Dancer. The current location is not the original for it either. However, it was moved from its' original location because the dancer is a nude male dancer and the former location was right outside the rooms where the elementary school art...
