Download or read book Going Pro for $200 & How to Choose a Prime Lens written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer and writer Shawn M. Tomlinson, author of the Photo Curmudgeon column and books, explains in detail the joys of working with a professional, albeit older, DSLR, the Nikon D1. "In fact, you can put your hands on a professional DSLR body and a lens for around $200 if you really want to know what all the fuss is about," Tomlinson writes. "No, I'm not talking about a Nikon D4S that, ah, 'fell off a truck.' I'm talking about the very first, ground-up DSLR for the professional market. The Nikon D1." The author covers buying and working with the Nikon D1, illustrating points with many D1 photos. In the second part, Tomlinson explains the usefulness of prime lenses. He considers the uses, advantages and disadvantages, and provides a conversational approach to making the move to primes. "In this short guide, I give you some pointers about what prime lenses do, what type you may need for your particular photographic vision and how to choose what you need," Tomlinson writes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be wary, ye whoÉ Sorry. Just wanted to warn you up front that some of these stories donÕt have conclusions. Most of them do, but some I just never could finish. Oh, yeah, and some of them are parts of series that are here published alone because I just was unable to find the other stories. I swore when I was young that that would never happen to me. It did. IÕm dealing with it. The reason that such stories Ñ those without endings and those for which there are other, connected stories Ñ is that, well, IÕm getting old. I wanted to collect the majority of my writings before IÕm dead. Some of these are very early stories. The earliest, I believe, is ÒCounterterrorist.Ó Yes, the main characterÕs name is Jack, but it was written many years Ñ decades Ñ before Jack Bauer, counterterrorist, made it to TV in 24. That should be obvious, but I thought IÕd mention it. Just try to enjoy the stories.

This book was released on 2018-06-09 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÒJust like me to never have any money when the end of the world comes, Ó thought Martin Fahy as he walked through the bitter, ceaseless rain. He laughed slightly and wondered what he was going to do now. Sure, he had been the one who always knew The End was coming soon, but he just couldnÕt convince anyone else. He wasnÕt a religious fanatic or anything and his predictions of the coming doom had nothing to do with apocalyptic visions or cultist beliefs. It was based largely on his continual observation of scientific predictions. And now, it all was happening. Fahy realized what heÕd always said was his prime philosophy still was true: The only way out is throughÉ
Book Synopsis How to Choose a Prime Lens: Expanded Edition by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book How to Choose a Prime Lens: Expanded Edition written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer and writer Shawn M. Tomlinson, author of the Photo Curmudgeon column and books, explains in detail the usefulness of prime lenses for photographers who typically only use zoom lenses in this expanded edition. He considers the uses of prime lenses, the advantages as well as the disadvantages, and provides a conversational approach to making the move to this type of lens. Prime lenses are sharper and have less distortion, less chromatic aberration and brighter maximum apertures than zooms, he reports. Tomlinson examines the most common prime lenses, how they are used and what a photographer can expect to pay. "In this short guide, I give you some pointers about what prime lenses do, what type you may need for your particular photographic vision and how to choose what you need," Tomlinson writes in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Realm of the King is volume four of my complete shorter fiction collection. It contains some finished stories, but largely it contains a collection of unfinished pieces. Either I got stuck at certain points of the pieces or just stopped writing them. I first collected some unfinished tales in my chapbook titled 'Tales Without End Vol. 1' way back in 1995. It was, in fact, one of the last few chapbooks I published. This volume is an attempt to get most of my unfinished tales into one book. Who knows? I may complete some or all of them one day, or I may not. In any event, they are here for what theyÕre worth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert W. Chambers: Maker of Moons: Author of The King in Yellow Unmasked traces the history of the author of The King in Yellow, the book that influenced H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. Chambers was a top selling author in the early 20th century writing nearly 90 books, but has been largely forgotten except by the readers of horror fiction, particularly fans of the Cthulhu Mythos. This is the first full biography of Chambers, researched over nearly four decades by Shawn M. Tomlinson who grew up in the small town where Chambers summered. Tomlinson wrote many articles about Chambers previous to this book, primarily for area newspapers, as well as for several magazines including Adirondack Life and Ride of the Horsemen. His chapbook about Chambers, first published in 1996, went to three editions. Robert W. Chambers: Maker of Moons: Author of The King in Yellow Unmasked includes portraits of Chambers, interior and exterior photos of his summer home (Broadalbin House) and a full bibliography.

Tomlinson creates a quick guide to help budding photographers. The book includes equipment advice, exercises for becoming better, photo processing basics and more.

In part two, 'Great Starter DSLR: Revisiting the Sony A100, ' he takes an in-depth look at the camera and continues his series devoted to helping budding photographers get started without breaking the bank.

From the book: "After waiting the proper mourning time for Minolta - about a year - Sony took the black armband off and unveiled its first DSLR, the A100. And why is this important now? It's vitally important if you are a beginning photographer and want to get a great DSLR and great lenses that won't mortgage your house."
Book Synopsis Tales Vol. 5: In the Time of the King by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book Tales Vol. 5: In the Time of the King written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-06-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside was crazy. The thick, coming storm weighed me down. It could come any minute: thunderous, hurricane rain, followed by all kinds of hell. I dashed across the lawn, into The Lab and up the stairs. The bookcase was locked. Most of our books anyone can look at. Some, we donÕt think would be wise to let out. I fumbled the key chain, looking for the tiny key that could open the door. I managed to get it near the keyhole when the electricity died. Cara may curse my pipe, but right then, I think sheÕd have been glad I had a lighter. The lighter helped me again. The deep, old books were a window to the past. We had read few. That would entail things like dying horrible deaths. Instead, we had a collection of Òabout books, Ó essays written anywhere from last year to a thousand years ago. The one I was looking for was deep red, 'AichlanÕs Deimos.' In it I hoped to sort out how to send Xith back to wherever the hell it came from before it ate Lily Dale, or whatever it does.
Book Synopsis The Film Photography Book by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book The Film Photography Book written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-07-24 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film is back! And about time, too. We just were getting a little too comfortable with the idea of snapping selfies on our dumb phones at the ends of vanity sticks when film returned to slap us up. Film is not for the faint of heart. It takes serious effort, serious time. It costs money for each frame, from buying the film to paying to develop it or developing it in a film tank. Only those interested in the unique and fantastic look of film will brave this path. The Film Photography Book is for us, those interested in all aspects of film photography from choosing cameras and lenses, to choosing film and subjects, to buying chemicals and processing. The book can serve as a refresher to those who now are returning to film photography after a long absence, and as a "getting started" course for those who never shot film in their lives. It's an adventure, a new Voyage of Photography, part of Shawn M. Tomlinson's Guide to Photography Series, the beginning of a sub-series about film photography. Come on along.
Book Synopsis The (Almost) Complete Hitchhiker in Time by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book The (Almost) Complete Hitchhiker in Time written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-07 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hitchhiker in Time columns were the single most popular things ever written by Shawn M. Tomlinson, which honestly doesn't say all that much. All together, they appeared in fewer than 10 newspapers between 1988 and 2001. Well, multiple copies of those newspapers, of course. The highest circulation was approximately 40,000, so not exactly Bob Greene levels. Still, Tomlinson had a following with these columns and to a great extent, they hold up well today. Either that or Tomlinson would like to think so. Many of these columns appeared in chapbooks over the years, but this is the first full collection of them to be in print.
Book Synopsis Retro Camera Buying Guide: Getting Serious About Photography On the Cheap! Expanded and Revised by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book Retro Camera Buying Guide: Getting Serious About Photography On the Cheap! Expanded and Revised written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot has changed since I wrote and published this first volume of what became this guide series. One thing hasnÕt. I still have the same enthusiasm and joy in photography I had way back at the beginning of the series. I have a lot more knowledge and experience now and, occasionally even get close to taking good photographs. ThatÕs the thing, see. I didnÕt know a lot when I originally wrote this guide. I had been working in photography since 1982 professionally. Everything I knew, pretty much, was self-taught. In general, thatÕs still true. ThereÕs no need for you to do it all by yourself, too, though. This book and this series are meant to help you get going with the basics fast. Yes, OK, I tend to relate my own experiences, but that, too, is meant to help you avoid some basic mistakes I made. And, perhaps, I write in a tad too friendly manner, but think of it as sitting down with me to have a friendly talk about a passion we share: Photography!

Book Synopsis Photography: Choosing Your Film SLR by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book Photography: Choosing Your Film SLR written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film cameras - the bodies themselves - have little to do with image quality. Lenses are far more important to image quality than camera bodies. So, as long as your camera has accurate shutter speeds, aperture settings and metering, the brand you pick doesn't really have much of an effect upon the final image. So, then, it appears the model camera you choose is irrelevant. Well, no. The type of film SLR camera you choose is most important to you as the photographer in features and convenience. Comfort has a lot to do with how good you are as a photographer. What I mean by that is that, you choose a camera that feels comfortable in your hands and becomes an extension of your brain as a photographer. This makes it easier to capture the types of images you want.
Book Synopsis Vol. 19: Photography: Beyond Semi-Pro: The Nikon D800 & D800E by : Shawn M. Tomlinson
Download or read book Vol. 19: Photography: Beyond Semi-Pro: The Nikon D800 & D800E written by Shawn M. Tomlinson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been somewhat reluctant to write about the absolute best digital single-lens reflex camera I have ever used, the Nikon D800E. The reason is that I like to write about older cameras that have become cheaper to buy and use for the frugal photographer. Although some of the cameras I have written about were terribly expensive when first released, by now they are reasonably cheap. For example, IÍve written books about the Canon EOS 1DS/1DS Mark II, the Nikon D1 and the Nikon D2X. These all are pro DSLRs and as such were released at prices ranging from $6,000 to $8,000. By now, however, the most you will pay is around $400 for any of them. In a few years, the Nikon D800E, too, will be much cheaper and an obvious choice for the frugal photographer. No matter the price, the D800 and D800E are two of the best DSLRs ever made. Either will change you as a photographer in fantastic ways.
