Memorial Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

In retrospect, there’s another reason I’m very glad we took our trip when we did a few weeks ago. Having just been to Arlington, and the WWII Memorial, Antietam and Gettysburg, etc. it’s much easier for me to come into today with the proper level of remembrance.

Thanks to a challenge from Kevin Devin, and his own collection, I put together a slideshow of my favorite shots of 2007 from my Flickr collection. Keep in mind that these are really the photos that mean the most to me, you may not agree with the “best” monicker, but hey, they’re my photos and…

New Lens

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I ordered the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens on the recommendation of a few folks last week, and it arrived at the office today. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to try it out. The one thing I was really excited about was how well people told me this lens works with available light when you can’t, or…
