14 Oct 2009Are you going to the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas next week? Do you dig photography (or just walking around Las Vegas with some cool fellow SharePoint folks)? Since both of those things apply (in my case), in conjunction with @philoking I’m organizing SharePhoto – the unofficial SharePoint Conference Photowalk.
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept [...]

9 Jun 2009 I haven’t done a photography post in awhile. I have been doing a little nerd bashing (not that I think I am not a nerd, more segmented nerd bashing) and I thought I would take a break for some positive and uplifting thoughts on photography.
If you don’t look at flickr regularly, you should. Their [...]

28 Feb 2009We have all seen these wonderful photos. There is a subject in very sharp focus, and everything else fades to this soft blur. In photography, this blur is called Bokeh, and the cause is something called Depth of Field. This article is targeted towards those of you with point and shoot cameras or perhaps a [...]

23 Sep 2008This is a quick one, but I thought it was way cool so I am sharing. Microsoft Research has put out Microsoft ICE for panorama stitching. If you don’t have Photoshop CS3, this is a serious alternative, and a free one, for stitching together awesome panoramas. I used a series of 13 images shot on [...]

19 Aug 2008I have been into digital photography since 2003. I first started messing with RAW then using Phase One’s Capture One software. At the time I was shooting with one of the original Canon Digital Rebels and printing large prints. The ability to tweak the RAW photos in Capture One was an obvious advantage, but [...]

18 Aug 2008I love this backpack! The Lowepro Flipside 300 is just what I have been looking for. In preparing for Alaska, I quickly realized that my over the shoulder bag was too small, and my laptop/camera bag was too much trouble to carry. With my laptop it was too heavy with not enough room, without [...]
So last night, I decided to go take some photos to give Aperture a real workout in RAW image processing. I love the view of Seattle from Gasworks Park and thought that if I hurried, I could catch it at sunset. I drove like hell and unfortunately just missed the sun.
I decided to take [...]

27 Jul 2008I have played with this before, but a co-worker, Steve Handy, did something really interesting with it, so I decided to play with it some more. There are several shots on my Flickr feed, but here is one I particularly liked.

24 Jul 2008I am preparing for a fantastic 7 day cruise with my wife and family to several ports of call in Alaska. In getting ready for this I have been expanding my camera gear so I can take a true photo vacation. So far I have upgraded my Canon 10D Digital SLR to a Canon [...]

3 Jun 2008So you saw my list of updates I wanted to make to this little application I assume, if not, my want list is:
The ability to separate RAW and JPG files into separated folders if you shoot in RAW+JPG modes.
The ability to save your previous source and destination folders
pre-populate the new folder name with the date/time [...]

2 Jun 2008 I decided I needed a little app to make me more diligent about backing up my photographs and being sure I don’t destroy them while I am making web previews, edits, etc.
I started today with a little user scenario that goes something like this:
I insert a CF card into my computer. Autoplay launches and [...]

30 May 2008Since the advent of reasonable priced digital SLR cameras like the original Digital Rebel from Canon, there has been one big achilles heel in the consumer digital SLR arena. Often loved by long range shooters, but much maligned by those who want to get far out, the Nikon, Sigma, Sony, Pentax, Canon and other [...]
This week I bought a new camera. Having been a Canon SLR user since 2003, I know a thing or two about Canon Digital SLRs and photography in general. I found a smoking deal at Circuit City, buy the camera online, get 10% off instantly and you can pick it up in the store the [...]
