SDXC Cards – What the New Format Means to Photographers
January 13, 2010 Equipment No Comments
We’ve certainly come a long way since the first SD card was offered at 8MB in 2000. Nowadays, a single file from a DSLR can reach 30+MB in size and SDHC capacities up to 16GB and 32GB are becoming more and more common in photographers’ camera bags. It won’t be long before we start seeing those 64GB and larger cards more frequently in our bags. As image sensor resolution and HD video options continue to grow, we are going to need more and more capacity to contain all of that content.

Biggest, Tallest Tree Photo Ever (Video)
October 2, 2009 Equipment, Photographers, Photography, Photos No CommentsNational Geographic sent Nichols to spend an entire year in California’s redwood forest. His mission was to capture the majesty of some of the tallest trees on Earth, some of which date back before Christ. And if you’ve ever photographed in a forest, you’ll understand the challenge this presented. There’s no capturing the awe one feels before these monoliths that measure, in some cases, upward of 300 feet.
