Life is seldom simple so we must make sense of the twist and turns
From the monthly archives:
In yesterdays post I featured photos taken with my Nikon D300 DX format camera of local wildlife. My DX camera had clear advantages in that situation.
My second photo stop yesterday was in the historic district of Salisbury, NC. For this situation I was using my Nikon D700 with a 20mm f/2.8 prime lens. I’ve [...]

I was out and about this morning enjoying the fall weather and taking a few shots in the local area. My first stop was a park with a wildlife habitat located not far from my house.
As in most wildlife habitats there are strict controls on how close you can get to the wildlife. As [...]

I’d taken a series of photos during our trip to Alaska this past May thinking I’d use Adobe Photoshop CS3’s “photomerge” feature to create a panorama when I returned.
I’d forgotten about them until a couple of days ago. You can see the results of my photo merge below ( Please note the main image is [...]

I was going through my normal technical newsfeed reads this morning and one of the big items being discussed was the Google Android mobile OS based G1 phone from T-Mobile.
The introduction of the G1 was held in New York City.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who [...]

I downloaded and installed Adobe Lightroom 2.1 release candidate (RC) this weekend. This version is said to be a near final version so I thought it would be fairly safe to install.
No problems noted, of course I hadn’t noted many with 2.0 either.

I saw an article that more then 20 million homes have cut the cord on landline phones.
With this trend I guess my wife and I are ahead of the curve, having not had landline phones for over five years. We rely strictly on Cell Phones.
I do remember initially giving up a landline phone wasn’t [...]

Over time I’ve accumulated several lenses for my cameras. These lenses require a variety of filter sizes: 52mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm and 86mm.
Some filters I regularly use such as UV, for general lens protection, and circular polarizer. I haven’t and don’t plan on purchasing these filters in each of the sizes above so I’m [...]

I’ve been lax in keeping the “Now Reading” section of this blog updated. It’s not that I’m not reading, it’s perhaps a case of feeling like who cares I guess.
I’ve considered doing away with this section entirely, but for now I’ll keep it and do better with updating. After all how could I expect anyone [...]
