Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Mode: Auto
**Personal Note** I absolutely love this lens!! I highly recommend it, if you can afford it!
The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens is an easy-to-use
standard zoom lens that can cover a large zoom area ranging from 24mm
wide-angle to 105mm portrait-length telephoto.
The EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM incorporates Canon's highest
standards of precision optics. The L-series is Canon's flagship
professional lens range, combining outstanding image performance and
ultimate operability with dust and moisture resistant construction.
Canon's ring-type USM gives silent but quick AF, along with
full-time manual focus. Moreover, with dust- and moisture-resistant
construction, this is a durable yet sophisticated lens that meets the
demands of advanced amateur photographers and professional photographers
alike.
Image Stabilizer
Ideal for handheld work, IS Image Stabilizer allows use of
shutter speeds up to 3-stops slower with no perceptible increase in
image blur.
Fixed Aperture
With no change in aperture over the full focal length range,
photographers can set exposure at the widest aperture and zoom through
to 105mm without slowing shutter speed.
Super UD and Aspherical Lens Elements
Constructed with one Super-UD glass element and three aspherical
lenses, this lens minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion. The
result is excellent picture quality, even at wide apertures.
Ring USM
Ring USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations
to drive responsive, near-silent high speed auto focus. Good holding
torque stops the focusing lens group with precision without overshoot.
Full time manual focus override is available without having to switch
out of AF.
Super Spectra Coatings
Optimized Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping
suppress flare and ghosting - more prone to occur with digital cameras
due to reflection off the image sensor. Coatings also help achieve true
color balance and increase contrast for vivid hi-fidelity images.

Pentax Optio WG-1 Adventure Proof Digital Camera Photo Samples and Review in NYC
Pentax Optio WG-1 Adventure Proof Digital Camera Photo Shoot in the Concrete Jungle of NYC From H and B Digital.com
Camera: Pentax Optio WG-1
Mode: Auto
You're looking for a tough camera? We'd like to introduce you to one who fits the bill: The Pentax Optio WG-1 Digital Camera.
Not only does this snazzy little point and shoot take great 14Mp photos
and 720/30p video, but it's built to last. How so? Consider the
following: The WG-1 is waterproof to 33', shockproof - able to withstand
drops of up to 5', crushproof - able to withstand weight of up to 100
kilogram-force, coldproof to negative 14°F, and dustproof. Impressed? We
are. Drop it, kick it, take it out in the harsh elements or under the
sea, all in the name of capturing moment, and the WG-1 will live to do
it all again.
When it comes to the more basic aspects of the camera you'll benefit from a 2.7" LCD display, 5x optical zoom, and Digital Shake Reduction. The camera also features an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot. You can store your videos or still images to the compatible card of your choosing. The WG-1 also has an HDMI connection for direct viewing of your HD video on your HDTV. Additionally, the camera also boasts a Digital Microscope mode for macro shooting. The WG-1 is definitely more than the average point and shoot.

Google+ as a Photography Platform
Using Google+ For Photography
This is a photo taken by Victoria llina from the G+ page, "Digital Photography"
Photo taken by Kevin McNeal from the G+ page, "Nature Photography"
The Google+ hub is still slowly rising among internet enthusiasts and social media fanatics, however, within the photography community, word is spreading quickly and photographers have found a new professional playground to post their visual art that not only makes it easy to fill their own news feed with inspirational photos but also to promote and to showcase their talent in an attractive and accessible way.
While exploring the new G+ platform, I simply typed "photography" in the G+ search engine and found a stream of G+ profiles featuring stunning photography and interesting articles including photography tips and the latest electronic gadgets.
So using my personal G+ profile, I circled some of the photography profiles I thought were interesting, here are a few examples of the type of photography on G+ including links to their G+ profiles...
Photo taken by Kevin McNeal from the G+ page, "Nature Photography"
Photo taken by George Wheelhouse on the G+ page, "Photography"
You can use your personal G+ profile to showcase your photography or you have the option of creating a G+ page linked up to your G+ profile to display it. Either way you choose, it is a remarkable tool for quickly and easily posting your photos and sharing them with the world.
Recently, I created a page for H and B Digital through our main Gmail account and unfortunately, Google only makes it possible for pages to circle other pages but not personal profiles when using it through the G+ page (but it does keep spammers away), so that's why I'm hoping people will circle our H and B Digital Google+ page by adding it through our website or by checking out this blog post and adding it here.
Also, as a fellow photography lover, you can also add my personal profile to your circles if you are interested in seeing more of my photography or sharing your photography with me.

Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II Lens Photo Review and Sample Images
Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II Lens Photo Shoot in NYC From H and B Digital.com
Camera: Panasonic Lumix GH2
Lens: Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II
Mode: iA (Intelligent Auto)
Mount Adapter: Panasonic DMW-MA1
The Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II Zoom Lens is part of the High Grade Series, and this II version has been upgraded with several improvements. The lens is a portable, high-quality Digital Zuiko wide-angle zoom that provides edge-to-edge sharpness and superb color reproduction.
This II version has improved magnification, with up to 1:2 (half life-size) magnification possible. It now uses a 7-bladed circular aperture mechanism, which produces more attractive background defocus points. It also integrates with the "High-speed imager AF" system included in recent Four Thirds DSLRs.
The fast f2.8/3.5 aperture makes it ideal for low-light situations while rendering a bright viewfinder image in the camera for easy focus and composition.
