When I am making gear decisions, I am constantly trying to balance cost, portability, and quality. It would be easy if the kind folks at Nikon sent me a compliment of fixed zooms and full frame bodies, accompanied by an assistant to carry it all for me. However, that isn’t the world I photograph in. I am trying to make cost effective images wherever I go. Whether that is hiking, riding, commuting, traveling, or scuba diving. Therefore my decisions are geared around kits that compliment my lifestyle. I know I’m not alone in this endeavor and many of my photography friends are involved in the same decision making process. Knowing that, I decided to publish my findings if I came across something (either software/hardware) that worked well as a member of my team.

Full disclosure: I have no affiliation with the companies that produce these products. However, if they ever wanted to send me something, I would happily accept it. I am sure the world needs more Nikkor 400mm 2.8 AFS VRs coupled with D3X reviews (wink…wink…Yasuyuki Okamoto).

Hi Justin,
Discovered your blog/site/book just before leaving on my vacation in july. Thanks to your reviews and tutorials I took most of my 1000+ shots with my iPhone. Downloaded most of the apps you recommended as well! Was wondering if have had a chance to use/review Photogene for iPad? Thoughts? Is it worth the $2.99 or more of a duplication of others you’ve recommended. Thanks!
Howdy! Glad you found me. Sorry for the delay, I was on the road working on a project in Nevada when you posted this. I can’t say. I’ve never tried it. However, I’m of the mindset that for $2.99, why not?
