Have you? Have you been to that place more that once where you start to shoot the same photos the same way? STOP……. don’t go into autopilot. You know what works, now look for something different. Whether a different angle, different lens, different time of day or a new technique, explore it. Dare to be different, that how you become better. Don’t go home with the same or similar images. STIMULATE YOUR VISION!!!

One of the big stories in the business world Sunday was that Nikon’s stock took a historic fall of nearly 19%. The company is weighted so heavily in the Nikkei Stock Average that the news had a rippling effect across the market, causing most Asian shares to drop.
Businessweek writes that the price drop was the largest single day decline in Nikon’s stock since 1985. It happened after the company cut its profit forecast due to decreasing demand and plummeting prices.
For the fiscal year ending in March, Nikon now predicts that it will pull in roughly $407 million in net income, down from the ~$643 million it had previously forecast.
Rare Nikon Lens Deals
Just one example: the AF VR Zoom-Nikkor 80–400mm—$350 off.
There are more lenses in the sale—18 in all.
Nikon is having an unusual sale on some of its very best lenses. Nikon very seldomly offers significant discounts on its premium lenses—especially its best fast primes—when they’re not bundled in a package. This is the first such sale in a number of years. If you’re in the market for new equipment or want to expand your selection now is the time.

I am an architectural photographer who also does corporate and commercial work. I used to shoot sports but due to personal reasons have stayed away from the genre. BUT……. the more things change…
My friend Stan Liu, an accomplished sports photog himself generously offer me a credential to go shoot the San Diego State v. UNLV football game. What a great time. The game was sloppy but being able to capture athletes in an intense competition was exhilarating and made me remember why I had chosen that lifestyle for so long. If only I could have figured out how to make money doing it. Thanks Stan.
Techy notes: Shot with a Nikon D700 with a booster for the motor, Nikkor 400 f2.8 lens and images processed in Adobe Lightroom 4.
