Worst Image of M42 Ever

I do believe this is the worst image of the Great Nebula in Orion that has ever existed: I must say I am at least somewhat proud of it though, since I have never seen anything like this in any of my astrophotographs at all until now. I’m kind of proud of my little pink […]

Camera Bag Diagram #1

Getting this diagram into a usable form was not easy. Just an overview of how my camera bag is laid out. The bag itself is in the center, the two side areas are the two zippered sleeves on the sides. The thing that looks like a square growth on the main bag is the bag […]

Project 365 Notebook

I have finished the software side of the site that will be the online equivalent of my physical Project 365 notebook. http://project365.livecurt.net There is still some info missing from the pages, but all of the images are present and the structure is as close to matching the physical notebook as it can possibly be.

Project 365 Substitution Challenges

I have decided to accept Jared’s opinion for the substitution of days in the event I am to miss a day. I will substitute the day with a prearranged challenge, as prescribed by the following list: Self Portrait Inversion Harmony (an image that makes sense normal or color inverted) In the Moment (capture a moment […]

Project 365 Substitution Rules

I have just been thinking about Project 365 in a more administrative capacity than usual. So far, I have made 33 days without missing a day, but I still have to repeat that 11 more times before the end of the project. My question is now this: What is to happen in the event of […]

An Introduction to Project 365

I have created an introduction to my personal Project 365 to place in the front of the binder in which I am mounting prints of all of my project photos. Here is the (quite lame) introduction I wrote. Its good to know that I have not lost all of my skills of BS that I […]

Light Unhappiness

A few days ago my new softbox light arrived, I was so happy, I even played with how it worked on the ground, etc. I was a little unhappy because the light wouldn’t screw into a tripod, so I figured, ok, there must be a trick to this, that’s why Adorama was trying to sell […]

The Pleiades

Not the greatest astrophotograph, but its a start. Chris pointed to a blue patch in the sky and asked what it was, I pointed the camera and gave it a shot. Not a long enough exposure to pick up the blue in the Pleiades or the Reflection Nebulae, but I did get the stars themselves. […]

P365: Day 19

This isn’t originally the image I was wanting to take. I was sitting at Chris’ desk and thought his CD rack looked interesting with this audio connector sitting beside it. Only problem was that optically the whole thing didn’t translate the way that I wanted it to, I wanted something more reflective I think. I […]
