This guest post on smoke photography is by Paul Bonnichsen: Fall photography brings photographers out in droves, but as winter approaches the majority of photographers pack their cameras away until spring. I somewhat fell into this pattern for many years except that my commercial photography continues year around. My life and photography changed two years ago when I viewed my […]
I guess this week will be dominated by patents and guests posts… First, few patents (USD682338, USD684203 and USD683779) that show different Nikon 1 camera designs. Could those be the new set of Nikon 1 cameras that will be announced in the next few months? All three patents were filed on March 6th, 2012. Maybe the […]
Today Jonathan Björklund (website | Facebook) will share his experiences shooting with the Nikon D800E in the Arctic (click on image for larger view):
Nikon filed a patent in Japan for a 300mm lens with a diffractive optical element (Canon has a good DOE explanation on their website).

Here is a recap of the rumored/expected Nikon products in the next few months: Nikon D5300 I still expect Nikon to announce three major cameras by the end of the year. Some of the announcements (most likely the D5300) could be in the first week of January right before the CES show in Las Vegas. Nikon […]
The Nikon GP-1 GPS unit is currently listed as discontinued at B&H and “archived” on Nikon USA website. The GP-1A model is still current. New Nikon D600 now listed for $1,729 at DigitalRev.

After Nikon Sweden listed the TC-14E II teleconverter as discontinued few weeks ago, we now have a major retailer (DigitalRev) who also marked the 14E II teleconverter as discontinued. With the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi (February 2014), I will not be surprised if this TC and the Nikkor 300mm f/4 lens get updated.
