Blech. Got back this morning at 1am. Worked at 9. I’m tired.
I’ll have a mosaic up sooner or later of a bunch of billboards for a place that I would have to assume can give Disney a run for it’s money.
So here’s a filler image of a dinner I made myself a while back. Pretty [...]

I don’t know when I’ll be back again….
Actually, that’s not true. I’ll be back Monday. My cousin is having a wedding on saturday, and has enlisted me to be the photographer for some very good reasons:
I’m available
I’m really good
Like, really good
I’m free
So obviously I’ll be going. The trick will be to shoot an indoor situation [...]

So this technique is pretty stellar. Using a combination of bracketed exposure, a tripod, and Photoshop, you can achieve an image that’s far closer to what our eye sees than what a camera can capture. Relatively easy, the real work is done in post – where I have very limited experience.

Saturday Emily and I took Hershey to my Aunt and Uncle’s. Good times were had, jokes were made, stories shared, but this is not about then.
We played with our cousins, and my nephew; batting around a tennis ball, playing badminton, and even losing a game of ‘baggo’ a trademarked version of cornhole. But this is not [...]

Candy!!!!!!!
That’s right, it’s Thursday, so that means you get to indulge and eat as much candy as you think the American Dental Association will allow. A storied tradition dating back to the founding of this country, Candy Thursday has been a staple of our citizenry since Abraham Lincoln used to eat taffy while signing documents into law.

This is actually a very easy shot to get. The process behind it is pretty straight-forward, you leave the shutter open long enough for a enough light to get on it from the stars. Close the aperture, and you increase the exposure time, allowing the stars to move and leave streaks on the final shot. [...]
