Fighting ExIf

The Exchangable Image-file Format is a nice little thing that keeps up with information relating to how a picture was taken, where it was taken, who took it and what is in the picture (as vague as how far from the camera the subject, or even detailed information about the subject). The use of ExIf […]

Writing Software

It seems like lately I have been creating a lot of software applications, but not really getting any of them where I want them in terms of functionality. All of my apps are very specific in what they do and aren’t really of much use to anyone else. Several of these applications are in the […]

Mobile Computing Power

In the past several months I have spent a lot of time hanging out in UNC-Charlotte’s Atkins Library, and I have noticed an odd trend among students who take computers with them to the library… a lot of them plug in. When I began college, only a few people brought laptops to class or even […]

Arrival of Nikon N80QD

The Nikon N80QD arrived at 11:50 this morning. I ordered a camera listed as “used” in Adorama’s inventory. I ordered the one with the best rating that I could find (a rating of “D” for demo). Even with the device being of “demo” grade, I was expecting to see some signs that it had been […]

Returning to a Simpler Time

My 35mm film SLR shipped from Adorama this afternoon, after a 24 hour delay (which has yet to be explained). I have decided to spend a little time today reading the manual for it. So far what I have noticed is that I am sending myself to a simpler time photographically. The Nikon N80QD is […]

Extending a Hobby

I have decided this morning to make a fairly bold move in my consideration of working with film photography. I have purchased a Nikon N80D, 5 rolls of Fujifilm ISO 400 BW film, an developing tank and an assortment of chemicals required for the developing process (wetting agent, developer, stop bath, fixer). Before this morning […]

Thinking About Film

A long time ago, I photographed on film. From the time I was 5 until about 2000 I worked exclusively with film, a combination of 110, 35mm and APS. In 2002 I made the transition to digital photography, and then finally in 2008 I moved to Digital SLR. I have seen numerous claims that digital […]

Boredom and its outcomes

Last night after becoming somewhat bored, I decided I really wanted to play “Rodent’s Revenge”. It’s not at all a fancy game, so I thought I would give it a shot on CMK7-M. Somewhere along the way I forgot that the game was originally for Windows 3.1 and would not run on a 64-bit operating […]
