Just out of curiosity could you let us know how much the Strobist blog's traffic increases due to a mention in the New York Times? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to know.
So cool!
@Brian-
Interesting. I will later, in this comment thread.
@Brian and @Strobist:
I'd be even more interested in knowing how much Dale Harper's blog traffic increased as a result of the *previous* post...
Congrats, Mr. Hobby!
Hahaha. Love the headline. Congrats on the mention!
...also mentioned in Scott Kelby's blog. That will also increase traffic here.

Bryan Peters? Is actually Bryan peterson and his book, understanding exposure I a must read for every beginner. At least it has been for me. Mt. Hobby, you created a monstar and here's the result :-) I'm pretty sure you're veeeery proud of it !
Congrats
Nicola
Congrats on the publicity David!
Nice long string of quotes! Congrats!
I'm more curious to know how they get away with putting up a picture of a EF 50mm f/1.8 MKI. A lens that hasn't been made since 1989.
A good Christmas present for sure but good luck finding one.
David,
Congratulations. Yet another wonderful nod your way. Certainly do appreciate your contributions in helping us all improve our creative photographic talents.
Yeah! Way to get your name out there. Congrats!
Congratulations David.
Congrats David.
David, I have to pick on you. The NY Times article quotes you as saying photogs should use an alarm clock to take "dusk or dawn" pictures. But you've always talked about your own habit of sleeping in.
You yankin' our chains there? :-D
@Sleepy-
I will get up for a good picture, or really good fishing. But it takes an sequenced array of iPhone alarms to do it.
Start with crickets, just in case the first one works. Then, at 1 minute intervals, bells, dog barking, and that emergency alarm thingie sound.
Usually works.
Hmm. The Photography Mentors Triumvirate
Hobby, McNally and Kelby, for all your lighting, shooting and 'shopping needs.
Fame at last David. Hearty contgrats from Ireland and Have a Happy peaceful Christmas ...
Don't you hate articles about a subject, where it is clear the writer knows nothing about the subject?
I love the "D.S.L.R" with periods. I guess the Times doesn't have editors with any photography experience.
While I poke fun at them, at least they point people in the right directions - lenses and lighting gear.
How much did you have to pay to get your name in the headline?
That's a free service provided by the punsters on copydesk.
Excellent! It's very nice to see your name in print. I know you've been there many a times too but it never gets old. I remember my work being published for the first time I bought the magazine then ran around showing EVERYONE! =)
@MasterOfGoingFaster
The New York Times has very fixed policies on acronyms. It seems that when the acronym is spoken as a set of initial letters, it is always written with periods, like "D.S.L.R." and "U.S.". It's just a style guide thing, it has nothing to do with ignorance of the subject.
Congrads David, if they spell your name right and quote your correctly that's half the battle.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
David, Great stuff, but when are you going to start writing for the China Daily or the
Shanghai Daily? This will get you access to a truly huge market.
Have a great Christmas and new year from all of us in China.
Peter?
Read it also in my International Herald Tribune all the way in Denmark! congrats!
