I have spent the last half an hour drooling over digital camera, some of them SLR, some not. I have been looking very carefully at SLRs and trying to figure out what makes them special in digital cameras… from what I can tell… not much. The only thing different between a really good “point and […]
The Digital Photography course at UNC appears to now be open 🙂 It wasn’t scheduled to be available until Tuesday, but it seems as though the syllabus, course website and course Blackboard module are now open and operational. I am quite happy and will likely spend several hours diving into the course and having some […]
In my preparations for the summer semester digital photography course, I obtained the camera, some filters and a few other little things, but one thing I forgot, a camera bag. I am so used to my Nikon N7900 fitting into its little leather case and not needing any accessories. For the last few days I […]
A few sample images from the new camera are now available at: http://www.disturbingthoughts.net/gallery2/v/album/album/.
The Fujifilm FinePix S5200 arrived before I woke up on Friday, perfectly on schedule. In the past few days the camera has taken a little over 100 test images, not a bad start. The camera is certainly more sophisticated than my N7900, which in some instances is a good thing, and in others, not so […]

After spending the early part of the day reading through the syllabus for the Digital Photography course, I decided that I REALLY want to take it, and finished up the registration process. There is one thing I didn’t notice last night that I did this morning though, the course is not self-paced as I had […]
Do any of my readers know anyone who is willing to sell a used Digital SLR camera? I’m not looking for anything fancy, or even anything with any lenses. All I need is a digital SLR camera body suitable for academic use. I would like to take a Digital Photography class this summer to fill […]
Another use for the GPS tracklock is geotagging. GeoTagging uses a digital or encoding film camera’s internal clock stamp on images in the EXIF data format and the tracklog from a GPS (automatically using known time information) to match points in the GPS to images. A lot of modern utilities, including Google’s Picasa (with Google […]
