22Jun The Future of Digital photography?
Many people have said that HDR (High Dynamic Range) is the next big thing in photography. Even though HDR is fun to mess around with and gives you very interesting results.

22Jun Horrible weather in the Midwest.
I was in the middle of getting caught up from my recent vacation, when the weather took a turn for the worse. Believe it or not there is a street under all that water. To add insult to injury, the flooding was followed up by baseball sized hail. That blue Saturn lost 2 windows, and […]

11Jun 3 Legged adjustable camera support rig – First impressions
I finally made it home around midnight last night and the first thing to greet me (besides the dogs) was a large stack of boxes. This morning I dug through them to find the 3 legged camera rig I ordered a few weeks ago. There isn’t a lot of padding in the box and there […]
