Slashdot Mirror

As a photographer specializing in pet photography I decided to start sharing some of my buying choices and review what I use. I've put it up at Nikon Camera reviews . Some people seem to think that it's usefull for Nikon reviews. It's biased towards what works for me but it could help someone out.

Here is a brief review with video of my experience and a screen shot of the interface. Bottom line: Pretty cool, lots of time goes into making even a simple robot. Lego Mindstorms NXT review

By accident I got a set of Mindstorms last tuesday. (i mean accident of the Toys'R'US). Having played with it for a few days I can say they are pretty awesome, and I can see a huge potential. Be warned though they are a time sync! Hours go by quickly. Probably it's more stimulating that reading /. comments :) Here is my review complete with a 50 second video of the NXT in action!

GPS is here now, both the Nikon D200 and D2x digital SLRs mark location when hooked up to a GPS unit. You can see my review of the D200 here: Nikon D200 Review Although I don't mention this feature exactly. Also the Nikon D2x has voice recording for each image(The D200 does not). Both Cameras allow you to name the images what you want and to capture to different directories on the Flash card. So what you need is a $4500 Nikon D2x, and a GPS unit. Then you have all your needs met. I expect these features will migrate down to consumer models eventually. -Cotton

(blantent whore) I have a review of the Nikon D200 on my website loaded with google ads that I shameless ask you to click on, but the review is good. Nikon Stuff Reviews Check it out, leave feedback for me here as I'm always interested in this stuff. Bottom line is that D70 is better than D50, and D200 is better yet, but you already knew that :-p (/blantant whore)

I have a site with a lot of Nikon reviews, it's a whore out, and I have ads on my site, and I really want you to click on them, but it also has a lot of good Nikon lens reviews and reviews of the latest D200 Nikon Digital SLR body. Film is dead, long live film! Nikon Camera Reviews .
You know film is dead when Playboy started shooting all digital except for the cover and centerfold. Those are still shot with an 8x10 large format camera. The rest are shot with a 22mp medium format digital camera. Ah how pr0n has changed.

You know as long as this is just an ad site now, you can visit my site for some photographic information. Nikon equipment reviews . It's still in beta, a lot of articles are place holder, but the ads are up! Go click on them! Let the /. pyramid marketing scheme work for you! :)

I used mambo and then joomla to host a site that I hope some day will compare with the evil Ken Rockwell in the photography world: Everything Photographic While still very beta the site looks good and is easy to maintain. This in my mind is far better than all the sites I've coded by hand in the past. I'm at the point where I feel like the content should take my time, not the coding. Joomla rocks.
