I have been getting asked recently about geotagging. Why do it, how to do it, where can I see the ‘map’? Since I have been shooting the Nikon AW1, I thought I might explain geotagging a little more. And talk more about performance of the AW1 in the cold…really cold. Geotagging is simply adding geographical Read More

Long Exposures
I got some emails asking me about my last post, particularly the night shot. But the questions weren’t on shooting at high ISOs, rather did I shoot any long exposures for star trails.
