One of the most useful accessories you can get for your digital SLR camera is a battery grip. A battery grip performs a couple functions. First, it allows you to put two batteries in the camera at the same time, effectively doubling the length of time between changing batteries. By…
Shortly after I bought my Canon t1i, I also bought a Canon 200DG Camera Bag. I had a smaller, off-brand camera bag, and it just didn’t hold up. The Canon 200DG wasn’t quite as durable as I’d hoped, but it is certainly sizeable. Here’s a quick run-down of my experience…

What happened to ? I don’t know why I went to Amazon the other day looking for them, but I couldn’t find them. When I eventually found a link to them on Amazon, they’re listed as “Currently unavailable,” and they don’t know when they’ll be back. Hmm… guess it’s time…

I’ve seen a lot of different questions about the Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens. It seems like a popular choice, but it’s a bit of an investment… and people often wonder if it’s really useful for their purposes. So is an 85mm lens useful for wrestling?
Photography is an expensive hobby. After you plunk down hundreds of bucks for a nice dSLR body, you start collecting lenses, speedlights, lighting accessories, and all sorts of things. That’s why Christmas is such a great holiday… you can stock up on nice, shiny gifts! So, if there’s a photography…
