Too close for missiles; switching to guns….
I’ve seen a few people doing really great work with duplicating themselves photographically on Flickr, so I decided to give it a shot with the 2 crazies this morning. Dylan’s shot turned a ton better than Donovan’s, but he’s smaller and fits better in the frame of the couch. I will have to play this … Read more
Every time I go to sell a lens board, it’s like every time I go to Home Depot to buy wood: it’s never labeled. So I wind up Googling the world to figure out what size the damned hole is. Now, once and for the problem is solved. For anyone who has the same problem … Read more
I started playing around with HDR photography a bit, and it’s interesting what gets picked up and some of the tools that interface with Photoshop. It’s pretty flippin cool. The image shot here on the right, was made up from 5 separate images, shot at 1 stop intervals from 0. I did not use the … Read more
Well, okay maybe not really – but it will be the recipient of all of my photos for my blog gallery from now on. I like the gallery software that I installed here, and in fact, if I cared at all if folks viewed the images on my site or on Flickr, I might actually … Read more

t’s funny what goes through your mind at times isn’t it? How time always makes some things seem like they were just the bee’s knees. Take, for instance, February in Oregon. More specifically, a cold, rainy, dark, sunless day wading through thigh deep water (that is swiftly moving by the way) with run-off smacking you in the grape, all the while trying to find a picture in the madness of being trapped in a 30ft wide, 250ft tall box canyon. Sounds like fun doesn’t it?
This is pretty damned amazing! Go to codefromthe70s.org and check Desktop Earth. Do it! NOW! It’s pretty cool. Unbelievable actually.

Just yesterday I was a guest speaker for a local Photography club, the Niagara Frontier Regional Camera Club; and I covered a basic intro to Large Format Photography. It was an interesting and enjoyable experience, I met some very nice folks, excellent photographers and hopefully found another way to meet new people and find some … Read more
This is pretty damned amazing! This image (captured by the IMAGE satellite) is an enhanced image of the Aurora over the southern pole. It’s enhanced, because you really wouldn’t have been able to see much of anything due to the fact that it was in the ultraviolet spectrum. There is a video as well, and … Read more
I just ran across this website (Planetary Photojournal) just a little bit ago, and Holy Cow, are there some wonderful image son there. That is where I retreived this beauty of Saturn. With thousands of images on all of the planets, and information on the equipment used to make the images – there is a … Read more
Having recently read an article in Novembers Popular Science (I know I’m a bit behind in my magazines – so what) I was pretty much left in complete awe of Graham Flints 9 x 18 inch camera. So basically, he’s using a custom machined lens(dubbed the Asymmagon) built on a customized camera which utilizes parts … Read more
So I decided today to revisit Little Rock City, and take some more film with me and go to town. Well, as you may (or may not) remember from the original post, I was pretty taken with the place. Well I still am. When Litsa and i first went there, we didn’t even scratch the … Read more
Not a very original name, I know, but this place is pretty cool. It almost reminds me of home in lots of ways. Okay, I guess I should be careful how I use the word home now right? Errr…. I mean it reminds me of Or-Y-Gun. Anyway, this place is very interesting. It’s basically … Read more
