Simple Clicks – Saturday, 30 May
Last night was my girlfriend’s graduation party, so we didn’t get home until pretty late. One of our friends stayed over with us afterwards, and they were both still sound asleep this morning when I snuck out around 6. That’s me – the nut who gets up earlier on weekends than I do on weekdays, [...]
Best of 2009
Happy New Year! With 2009 now officially behind us, I’ve taken a moment to look back across my body of work in the past year and pull some favorites. The photos that follow are those shots that I like the best – chosen for technical accuracy, subject interest, and overall aesthetic. I also want to [...]
Frederick, again
Once more Frederick the Duck is my subject of the day. I got my hands on a new telephoto lens (review coming soon), and spent yesterday afternoon outside, post-snowstorm, trying it out. Subjects were limited, so one the way home I stopped by Abington to see what Freddy was up to – and of course [...]
Christmas Eve
Home with the family for Christmas Eve, enjoying goodies and the tree as snow falls outside. Some simple shots highlighting the details; cookies with the SX120 and the tree and ornaments with the 7D+50mm.
Perils of Archiving
Archiving – a necessary evil. No matter how you have it setup, no matter how you schedule time to maintain it, I’ve never heard of a single photog who actually enjoys doing archive work. We rather dread it. And what we dread most of all is a situation where all that time and work is [...]
Thanksgiving
I probably haven’t done as many photo essays as I should have, and I’m not touting this one as the best ever. It’s just a humble attempt at capturing my Thanksgiving experience, spent away from my family but within the warm circle of my girlfriend’s family. It’s not easy to keep on track with a [...]
Late Autumn @ 50mm
Out on Sunday during a rare 60 degree November day, mostly just for the fresh air and a good hike, but also to try out the new 50mm prime. There’s a quality to late autumn that makes it appealing in a stark way; the leaves are gone, the grasses gone to yellow and gold, [...]
Autumn at Ricketts Glen
Sunday was one of those rare autumn days where the weather completely defied the forecast and turned from drearily cold to sunny and inviting. I had the good fortune to spend the day at Ricketts Glen State Park with my friend Mike, who had brought his camera club up from New York City for a [...]
Early images with the Canon 7D
Saturday was a cold, wet day in Northeastern PA, but I still managed to get in some test shots with the new Canon 7D. These were really the first shots I’d been able to take, excluding the few in my apartment that came after I unpacked the camera. There’s certainly nothing scientific about these photos [...]
