As promised, my first video blog…
Here are some practical examples of the effect in action. I like it, but it’s something that could very quickly get out of hand.
I just noticed that when I was describing the dimensions of the cards, I said millimeters when I meant inches… not sure how made that [...]
Connor Christian & Southern Gothic at Wild Wings Cafe in Chesapeake, Virginia, December 12, 2008.
These guys are extremely talented. Good hard rock with awesome vocals.
Here’s a great post at Digital Photography School on a subject I wrestle with constantly.
I for one welcome our new voice controlled overlords.
ShutterVoice: this is what is so cool about the world we live in right now. A guy has a problem, so he figures out a way to deal with it, and in the process is very near to releasing a very, very cool application to help [...]
As I mentioned before, I had one more lighting scheme in mind for the smoke pictures. It’s pretty basic, but I think it’s the most versatile. Originally I thought about having the flash come from overhead, but one day while browsing flickr I saw some product shot setups that had the flash stowed [...]
Something I’ve wanted to do for awhile on my old blog was to post about images or artists that resonated with me. The format at BHN wasn’t conducive to that, but now it seems appropriate.
This image by Chris Steele-Perkins came across my feed reader this morning and the more I look at it and [...]
Holy mackeral… this is a beautiful DIY project from a guy named Joe Holst. I’ve been thinking about a light like this for a long time (I even have a ring cut and waiting under the house), but this trumps anything I’ve ever imagined.
One of the problems with DIY gear is that—unless it’s [...]
Here’s another set of Smoke Pictures. I took these this past Saturday. Overall, the method was the same, except I hand held the camera throughout this time around. I also shot at night and the only ambient light I had on was the light in over the stove, which left me often [...]
After much hemming and hawing, I got a new body last week: the Canon EOS 50D. It’s quite a step up from my 10D, to say the least.
I’m hardly the guy you’d come to for a comprehensive review, so let me just hit a few of the high spots.
It’s oh so much faster than [...]
I had originally planned to visit the Highland Games today, but the rain made that an unappealing prospect. I spent the day working on a series of smoke pictures instead. Sure, the subject is almost a cliche, but the exercise was a lot of fun.
Steve Paxton of Paxton Prints has a nice write [...]
