Google's top 10 most searched photogenic spots in the US in 2022 - some might surprise you!

Eileen Tan/Dreamstime.com Google recently released its list of its most popular searches during 2022, and when it comes to scenic spots in the United States there are some surprises. For starters, “scenic spots” in Google’s definition does not include iconic places like Vermont’s Technicolor White Mountains in fall or the yawning Grand Canyon in Arizona (and by the waym more about canyons later). Instead, Google users were primarily interested in where to see and photograph some of Mother…

A blissful moment with humpback whales in Bora Bora

Work being slower than in prior years - fewer weddings, couple's shooting, and visitors in general - has allowed us to work on our underwater photography. Taking photos of marine life is something I love doing, grateful to always have my wonderful vahine at my side. Animal photography takes patience and a good amount of luck in having the perfect situation, unlike a wedding or couple's photo shoot, we cannot create the scene or situation for the perfect shot. We love photographing sharks, over…

Underwater photography in Bora Bora

To unleash aquatic photography, I use Canon + a Nauticam housing. I got my first dive certification at age 14, at 18 I had acquired a Nikkonos V with a 35mm! That was my first UW rig, today and after having tried many underwater housings, Nauticam is what I consider to be the best brand. We are proud to have sold a few prints to several magazines and also have a few available (at a reasonable cost) on our gallery! I use a Canon DSLR, a Nauticam housing with Inon strobes, several LED lights &…

Day 5: Bonjour, Been having great fun mixing my stills an videos together for my 30 DAYS IN PARIS new media project on FB. Check it out and let me know what you think. www.facebook.com/30daysinparis. I'm using a Canon G12 for all the stills and video. It is a pain switching the settings back and forth, but having all the files on one SD card at the end of the day is great. Tested a new Kodak Z8 yesterday while visiting the Champs Elysees and avoiding terrorists. :-)

KImberly: Thanks for the link.

I've been a Canon loyalist since the 70s, so I don't know anything about the Minolta brand lenses. But I have to say, I would take a glass lens over a plastic lens hands down. There are different qualities of glass lenses too, so I would just say do your research and find a few lenses that would work for you and then start looking for them. You can also borrow a lens to see if it will work with your camera. You might want to check out BorrowLenses.com Yes, I'm an affiliate of theirs, but they've got a good system for checking out lenses before buying them.

I don't know much about either the Minolta lenses or the Sony Alpha, but I would say if it fits your camera, a really good lens is well worth it.
Anil October 2, 2010 at 5:13pm

Does anyone have insights into using old Minolta lenses with Sony Alpa DSLRs ? From what I have heard, some of those glass lenses were very good, so if I do find a good lens, is it worth my while ?

Hi Kevin, It sounds like your project is coming together! Good luck!
As a kid I lived right on 66 in the Mojave--Helendale. Jane Russell lived there to.

Cheers,

John
