Our new Technology Section
As you might have noticed, we now have a new "Tech" section on the top of the page. I decided to move my geeky articles over to a new section that I called "Technology Tips and Tricks" for now to separate them from photography articles.
In addition, we now have a new contributing member to our blog - my good old friend and technology geek Karim. I have known him for over 12 years and he is like a brother to me. He is very smart, super sharp and he is graduating from University of Colorado at Boulder with a Master's degree this spring!
Karim will be primarily writing in our Tech section and I will try to help him out with some of my work-related stuff as well :)
It took me some time to port things over to the new section and get rid of the old junk, which is why I have not had a chance to work on new articles. I will start catching up this weekend though, so stay tuned!

I have a tech question. On my nikon d80 with a 50mm 1:4 I was trying to focus on a rose. On one shot it was all good… on another, no matter what I did, I couldn’t focus.
What is the hitch… you guys are so great to offer advice!!! Thanks.

Deana, when you said that you couldn’t focus, did the lens go back and forth without being able to acquire focus, or it didn’t move and simply created blurry images?
If you could hear the element go back and forth, it could mean that you didn’t have enough light. If it didn’t move but created blurry pictures, then you are standing too close to the subject. The close focus range on Nikon 50mm lenses is about 1.5 feet, so you have to make sure that you are standing at least 1.5 feet away.
Hope this helps :)
