• Moon Shots

  There’s something about the moon that has always drawn us to gaze up at it. For centuries, poets and artists have extolled the moon, praised it, sang to it, and loved it. Popular opinion holds that the moon has power over us, that the full mo...

• Looking Back

  I’m probably too young to be feeling nostalgic, but nevertheless I am a little. I was checking out some of the Canon DSLR models that I’m less familiar with, more out of boredom than anything, and I ended up going back to read the review...

  WordPress has some nifty features that show statistics about your blog and its visitors. I’m not sure how accurate they all are, but each day I get an updated display of traffic, which pages were most popular, where people came from – th...

• Rumors – Canon 60D

  Posted on Friday July 24th, 2009 at 12:26 in canon, equipment, rumors, upgrades, off-topic

  It’s common knowledge that a new Canon xxD series camera is due out within the next year, replacing the 50D, which itself seems to have failed to gather the reception Canon was hoping for.  There was a lot of grumbling about the 50D as photogr...

  I’m not feeling very verbose tonight.  This may come as a surprise to some of you, based on some of my previous posts.  So instead of giving you a dozen longwinded reasons why sunrise/sunset light is best for outdoor shooting, I’m simpl...

  Posted on Friday March 20th, 2009 at 15:41 in Personal, equipment, buying, off-topic

  I was in the DPC forums before work this morning and read a thread where a photog was asking which radio slaves he should look into buying. Without any hesitation, the first reply was (and I’m paraphrasing here) “Buy PocketWizards, they&#...

• Under the Weather

  Posted on Tuesday February 24th, 2009 at 18:50 in Personal, update, illness, off-topic

  Being sick is a drag, and it certainly doesn’t do anything good for my photography.  I picked up a cold two weekends ago that progressed from sinus to chest to stomach to chills.  Having spent most of today home asleep, I’m finally feel...
