Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A while back, I wrote a guide to the first truly professional and practical DSLR camera, the Nikon D1, titled: Photography: Going Pro for $200: Revisiting the Nikon D1. That volume proved popular and I hope it helped some photographers to get started with their first pro DSLRs. The aged D1 may not have the megapixels of modern cameras, and it certainly has some frustrating menu items, but it is a fun and inexpensive way to get your hands on a pro DSLR without spending a lot of money. This book recently was expanded for print and adds details about the Nikon D1x and D1H. The thing is that, if you are like me, once you've shot with a pro DSLR, it makes you hungry for more. But those current models - the Canon EOS 1Dx and Nikon D4s (the latest as of this writing) - still have huge price tags that can bring tears. The best thing is that, used, you can put your hands on a D2x for less than $400 and get one of the best lenses Nikon makes - the Nikon AF D 50mm f/1.8 - for another $100.

Book excerpt: I have been somewhat reluctant to write about the absolute best digital single-lens reflex camera I have ever used, the Nikon D800E. The reason is that I like to write about older cameras that have become cheaper to buy and use for the frugal photographer. Although some of the cameras I have written about were terribly expensive when first released, by now they are reasonably cheap. For example, IÍve written books about the Canon EOS 1DS/1DS Mark II, the Nikon D1 and the Nikon D2X. These all are pro DSLRs and as such were released at prices ranging from $6,000 to $8,000. By now, however, the most you will pay is around $400 for any of them. In a few years, the Nikon D800E, too, will be much cheaper and an obvious choice for the frugal photographer. No matter the price, the D800 and D800E are two of the best DSLRs ever made. Either will change you as a photographer in fantastic ways.

It contains some finished stories, but largely it contains a collection of unfinished pieces. Either I got stuck at certain points of the pieces or just stopped writing them. I first collected some unfinished tales in my chapbook titled 'Tales Without End Vol. 1' way back in 1995. It was, in fact, one of the last few chapbooks I published. This volume is an attempt to get most of my unfinished tales into one book. Who knows? I may complete some or all of them one day, or I may not. In any event, they are here for what theyÕre worth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer and writer Shawn M. Tomlinson, author of the Photo Curmudgeon column and books, explains in detail the usefulness of prime lenses for photographers who typically only use zoom lenses in this expanded edition. He considers the uses of prime lenses, the advantages as well as the disadvantages, and provides a conversational approach to making the move to this type of lens. Prime lenses are sharper and have less distortion, less chromatic aberration and brighter maximum apertures than zooms, he reports. Tomlinson examines the most common prime lenses, how they are used and what a photographer can expect to pay. "In this short guide, I give you some pointers about what prime lenses do, what type you may need for your particular photographic vision and how to choose what you need," Tomlinson writes in the book.
