And thank you, Bubba
2007 was a satisfying year photographically but a much more satisfying one financially. And money is needed to pursue this hobby of photography so it’s a vital issue for this photographer.
You see, I manage money for a living. Mine and others’. And yes, I put my money where my mouth is. […]
Almost ready for prime time
A year ago I fantasized about the idea of using a flat screen TV to show changing pictures on the wall.
In one fell swoop you could have displayed an infinite number of images with vastly superior dynamic range, owing to the provision of transilluminated rather than reflected light, and none of […]
At least one child ‘Thinks Different’
Happy Christmas!
5D, 24-105mm at 70mm, 1/30, f/4, ISO 1600, processed in Aperture, of course.
It’s that time of the year
Our boy is busy practising his carols at the local church, so yours truly dropped by and snapped a few pictures. Here is one from today.

There was another photographer there using flash and a tripod, no less. How little did […]
No great new technology breakthroughs
If 2007 has been a disappointment on the hardware front for photographers it’s mostly owing to the lack of any new breakthrough technologies. Cameras added megapixels, generally for the worse, as too many on a small sensor means loss of sharpness. Imagine if one of those miniscule sensors in […]
A few months’ patience will save hundreds
It’s not hard to guess what the Mark II version of Canon’s 5D will be like. If the upgrades to the current pro (1D Mark III and 1Ds Mark III) and amateur (Digital Rebel, D40) models are any guide, expect to see sensor dust removal technology, a […]
Watch how they are made.
A reader posted an interesting comment (scroll down) with a link to Canon’s videos showing how lenses are made. (That same reader was very helpful in resolving a problem that prevented Internet Explorer users from commenting - thank you, Ben!).
Click on Lens Assembly Process (click through to get there - […]
Most certainly not a solution.
OK, so I was feeling a tad spendy, as my wife would say, the other day.
And, yes, I have complained loudly and often of the awful LCD screen on Canon’s 5D. ‘Useless outdoors’ about summarizes it.
No problemo. I look up the splendid B&H catalog, you know, the one printed […]
A simple amusement.
I was reading Vanity Fair, a must-read for photographers everywhere, when I came across one of those questionnaire interviews with a famous person. At least he must be famous, because he is in Vanity Fair, right?
What on earth would I answer if asked these amazing questions? Ah! I know. You […]
Nothing new under the sun
America 1932 or 2008? These folks lied on their mortgage application, the lenders colluded in the fraud, and now the four remaining taxpayers in the Un
