Nikonnet Honors Professional Photographer Tony Sweet

Nikonnet Press Release Excerpt:
Tony’s striking images are based on one guiding principle: “Every single thing in the picture space either helps or hurts the image; there’s nothing neutral.” He believes that photographers turn imagined images into pictures— seeing things first in their mind and bringing them to existence by hitting the shutter. “When you’re playing music, when you’re really in the moment, you’re reacting instantly and totally to what’s going on,” he says.

“You’re almost pre-hearing where someone is going, and you’re there. You can’t be thinking about technique; the moment you think about it, it’s too late. It’s the same thing in photography. The only way to achieve what you want in photography is to master your craft and then just forget about it. You shouldn’t be thinking of how to get what you want; you’re just out there doing it.”          Full Article

Nikon D200 Review at PC Magazine

PC Magazine wrote a review of the Nikon D200 and said: "Perhaps the smartest innovation in the D200 is its ability to control an external flash wirelessly from the built-in pop-up flash. Controlling an external strobe usually requires another full-size one to be plugged into the camera's hot shoe. Some cameras, like the D70s, let you control the external unit from the camera but don't let you use the pop-up simultaneously."          Full Article
