Shihding, Nikon Scene Modes, & Elusive Hiking Trails
My goal on Saturday was to hike an interesting trail near the little town of Shihding just outside of Taipei. Things didn’t quite work out for the hike, but I had an interesting day nonetheless.
I set off on my scooter pretty early after making sure I had sunscreened all the important bits of my body. I didn’t bring a change of clothing since I didn’t …
Nikon D7000 – Mirror Lock-Up Confusion
I wrote earlier about a problem I was having with the LCD screen on my newish Nikon D7000. You can read about it in detail here.

In Search of a Digital SLR
July 7, 2010
The search for a digital camera (probably an SLR) continues. I’ve been a diehard slide film shooter all of my life. Only once or twice did I stray and shoot actual negative film – and I regretted it each time. I have a fondness for slides and slideshows.
The computer era, however, has changed me. I still like slides and I’d prefer to shoot …
