New: Presentation on Google's Picasa for Hendersonville Camera Club here.
Welcome!
Digital Expressions brings together my love for photography and the new digital world in a way that compliments each other. Delivering high quality photos and art to the web or to a frame is what this site is all about.
With this site, I've been able to combine my love of the outdoors, photography, and my full-time career as computer programmer.
I've always lived in God's country, the mountains of the central Appalachians, and I currently call Henderson County, North Carolina home. Nearby, I have access to numerous scenes, including the Blue Ridge Parkway, DuPont State Forest, and Pisgah National Forest. Following a life long fascination for waterfalls, I enjoy "hunting" them with my camera throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Enjoy your visit here at Digital Expressions. And if you have any comments, please be sure to drop me a note!

Canon 5D Mark II HD Video samples
We have just added two sample HD movies from the Canon 5D Mark II at 1080p resolution to the camera's preview. We'd recommend downloading them, rather than trying to view them on the page because 1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second makes for substantial files. More Information here.
Eye-Fi adds Flickr
Eye-Fi has added popular websites including Flickr and Twitter to the list that users of its wi-fi memory cards can upload images to. Changes to the Eye-Fi Manager web application also allow the creation of RSS feeds. 'Direct-upload' options have also been expanded to include Apple's MobileMe and AdoramaPix. This follows the partnership the company has recently established with Lexar. More Information here.
Just posted! Nikon D700 review
Just Posted! Nikon D700 in-depth review. When Nikon launched its first ever full-frame DSLR, the D3, in August last year it was an instant success with professionals and serious amateurs alike. Now Nikon has transplanted the D3's excellent full-frame sensor into a more compact body and offers the package at a price point that is much more appealing to the masses. A recipe for success? Find out after the link. More Information here.

Photokina Interview Series: Olympus
Taking an hour away from the bustle of the main Photokina exhibition hall we sat down to chat with Toshi Terada, Product manager of SLR product planning and Heino Hilbig, Olympus Head of Corporate Communications & Marketing Services about Micro Four Thirds, standard Four Thirds and the future. Our conversation - much of which had to take place without the tape running, unfortunately - covered a wide range of subjects, from the impact of Micro Four Thirds on the future development of the E-System to the burning question of the renaming or splitting of the Olympus Talk Forum (as regular visitors this was a subject they brought up, not us). Check out the latest in our series of interviews after the link... More Information here.
