9 Jun 2009I 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 [...]

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 it, [...]
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 [...]

The ability to save your previous source and destination folders pre-populate the new folder name [...]
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 [...]

10 Mar 2008So you just plopped down $1,000+ on one of the latest hip digital SLR cameras. You got hooked on taking photos and on your next trip to the camera store, or bhphotovideo.com if you are smart, and burned up your plastic for another $1,000 in a nicer lens, tripod and flash. You ate up Circuit [...]
