Isn’t this an amazing time to be interested in photography. Whether you’re a fan of the hype or not, the announcements of new tech are almost never ending.

Late Evening Thunderstorm and Some Lightning Photos
Last night just around midnight we finally had a thunderstorm go through our property. Feels like the first one that has come across our house this year, but it brought some nice lightning with it, for a very short time period. I took these shots right out my office window. I rendered the one image…

Photographers are Always Learning the Post-Process
I actually starting shooting an SLR camera way back when you could only put film in the camera (that stuff that required a chemical bath to process), and that meant processing was something that was done by someone else. The complex techniques of dodging and burning were left to those elusive black and white photographers…

How to Convert PDF to ePub File for an eBook Reader
I recently purchased a copy of John Shaw’s eBook called John Shaw’s Digital Processing, A Personal Workflow using Lightroom 2 and Photoshop CS4 (a great book if you are a photographer looking for some insight into post-processing and the digital workflow process, well worth he $25) hoping I would be able to convert it to…

Thought Out Well Planned Acts of Kindness, Not Random?
I read a post the other day from Brian Johnson called Random Acts Of Kindness // sounds like a cop-out and pretty much lifted my title here right off his blog. (For the purposes of continuing his discussion, I feel it necessary to first make the disclaimer that the title are his words, not mine,…

Sports, financial, technology, everywhere data is kept and you can gain so much information by examining statistics beyond surface level. It can show…

The North Star and Long Exposure Star Trails
If you have been following the progress of our tree and tree swing, it now has just about no leaves on it at all, so last night I decided to take advantage of the very dark night out here and do a long exposure of the tree showing the North Star. This shot was a…

Light Painting in the Image of the Calvary Cross
I should have my next edition business cards in the mail any day now. I usually print them in very small packs of 100 at a time, probably because I can never make up my mind what I want to show on my card. This time I went with something a little different. This is…

How to Use Your Blog as a Historical Archive :: Part 1
Why do you have a blog? Does your blog serve any useful purpose? Some don’t, just thought I would ask. If it doesn’t, perhaps it should. If it doesn’t, and it shouldn’t, then why exactly does it exist in the first place? Sometimes I go back and forth in my mind with my intended…

Light Painting with Sparklers and Some Low Light Photography
I love expanding my photographic abilities and learning new ways to be creative, it just isn’t as easy as it sounds some time. Light painting photography seems to be all the rage now but it is something I tried when I shot my first photos of fireworks back in 1997. It just looked so neat…

Bumble Bee in Flight Using Macro Closeup Photography
Something a little different for this afternoon. A few photos of the busy bumble bees in our yard (I am not totally 100% sure they are actually Bumble Bees, but they were to small to be a Carpenter Bee, but I am sure someone will let me know species and Latin name) as they go…
