Nikon Authorized Photo Service–Update

December 30, 2019

Nikon gear broken? Get to APS quickly!

Hi Everyone,

Last week, I had the good fortune to spend some time conversing with the guys at APS, the Nikon repair store in Morton Grove. True, having a lens repaired on December 23 was not really in my budget, but we discussed the possibility of Nikon USA withdrawing their support of this local and vital service. The staff still has no clue as to whether (or not) corporate will keep their doors open. They expect a decision sometime in January. IF Nikon removes the required  software and tools, this place is history. Here’s what you can do to help: Visit NIKON USA website and let them know how much you value having APS (Authorized Photo Service) in Morton Grove. I know Joe, David and the rest of the crew will greatly appreciate it.

Weekly Photo Tip

Keep camera parallel with subject

When colors are dramatically different, you will want to keep the focus sharp across the frame. That’s a bit easier to do when you’re hand-holding the camera to grab a shot of a moving subject. Keep reminding yourself to find–and keep–that parallel for maximum sharpness. It works quite well for small subjects.

Keep camera parallel with flat subjects. F6.3 @ 320, ISO 200

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
