This has turned into something less of an ideal weak for me to get out material. I’m currently working on a series that takes a look at watermarking or otherwise protecting your digital images and how effective it is. Along with some thoughts into the usability problems each of the methods creates. In the mean [...]

With weather taking a turn for the worse backed against storm clouds, the USAF Thunderbirds 1-4 make a pass in a diamond formation at the 2012 Lauderdale Air Show.

Not really sure what to say about this, so I’ll let the work do the talking for itself. Taming Light – a set on Flickr

Continuous release isn’t just useful for fast moving subjects, it’s also handy for times when you just barely have enough shutter speed to get a sharp image while hand holding. Pressing or releasing the shutter button, regardless of how smooth you try to be or what technique you use, you will always move the camera [...]

 January, 2010 Technique: Use Continious Release for Sharpness

This one will be short. I recently saw a site produced by the Boston Globe, that explores a single topic regularly (I think 3 times weekly) though the best images that they can find from their photographers and that have been published via the wire services. The images generally are awesome to say the least. [...]

Canon’s 100-400 maybe isn’t the best-built lens, the push pull design makes the bearings and zoom lock prone to picking up sand or dust from the lens’s body. However, it is one of my favorites. I actually like the push pull zoom for a lens of the range, and my copy is very sharp. However, [...]

 February, 2010 The Death of a 100-400

On September 20, Fuji announced the latest addition to their Finepix line of “compact” cameras, the X100. Only the X100 has the potential to be much more than just a point and shoot level compact. It’s styling and is reminiscent of the rangefinders of yesteryear, and it’s controls are quite possibly the best designed I’ve seen yet.

If you’ve ever read any introductory material on photography, you’ve probably seen the hand holding rule of thumb. The rule of thumb suggests that to avoid camera shake, the shutter speed should be at least 1/focal length of the lens or faster. So for example, if you’re using a 100mm lens, you need a shutter [...]

 May, 2011 The Hand Holding Rule of Thumb for Digital Cameras

I was going though my reading list in Google reader and realized that Moose Peterson, is probably the most prolific poster of imagery of all the people I follow, not to mention he’s posting something like 2 or 3 times a day. Of course if you ask me, he’s lucky living somewhere with more accessible [...]

 April, 2009 The House of Refuge at Gilbert’s Bar, Hutchinson Island

Photography books that aren’t clearly textbooks aren’t generally my thing. Even then, there’s so much good information available online that buying a book often seems like a waste of money. Even from that perspective, I’m always looking for new inspiration and new techniques and every time someone recommends a book, I tend to want to [...]
