Last night I began looking at Nikon’s GP-1 GPS Receiver that is designed to record GPS data directly to a D90, D300, D300S and other similarly classed cameras. I was looking at the device in a purely theoretical kind of way, since I would not need it until I acquire either a D90 or D300S […]
I have been looking at some images that I took this evening. They are mostly macro in nature (and of nature). I used my close up filter kit on top of the 18-55mm VR lens for the shots. Everything looked normal, except for my focal lengths. I used to do macro at between 50 and […]
For the next little while, this form and I will become very good friends as I work towards filling in all of the holes and completing all of the courses that are indicated for semester “200960” (Fall 2009). I have filled in some spaces with courses, but I have not indicated a semester yet. I […]
Below is a list of textbooks that I have to have for the Fall 2009 semester. This is only for 6 classes, and the total is $983.20, plus shipping, which would likely be about $20. I am so glad that my textbooks are covered by the textbook rental plan, all of these only cost me […]
I am encountering fun dilemmas of how private of a person I want to be again. I have recently introduced several family members to my Flickr photostream, which is relatively clean of personal information. The most unusual thing on my profile is having Chris and his alternate identity as contacts. As a result, I had […]
Just got a few bell peppers out of my Earth Box garden on the west deck this evening. My tomatoes hate the heat, but the peppers seem to be enjoying it. This was not originally supposed to be an artistic shot, or even a formal shoot, just an image of a pepper, but a white […]
This is by no means the crispest, best shot that has ever been taken, but it is my attempt at doing shorter exposure night sky objects. This object seemed to be close to the brightness of the waxing gibbous moon (image below). Based on the best information I have available, this object is likely Jupiter […]
With my graduation coming up in a few months, I am beginning to worry about my sanity. My time with no classes seems to be mostly disjointed days of looking for tasks to accomplish, usually resulting in some really lame pattern of existence. I do not like this existence and am looking forward to classes […]
In the past week, I have seen three of my digital photographs printed and framed at a size of 24×36, which is quite an impressive size to see. Seeing those prints hanging on walls has caused me to begin reflecting on where I have come from as a photographer and also where I would like […]
I haven’t blogged in a while, so I thought I would just post some recent pics and go from there. Below are some pictures that I took at the Schiele Museum of Natural History, which Chris and I are now members of. I enjoyed playing with my 35mm lens on the D60 in a flashless […]
