  • GIMP Raw

    When photographers I know talk about processing their digital images, they generally talk about Adobe products like Photoshop or Light Room. Some talk about Apple’s Aperture. Operating system only matters when it manages to make filters finish faster on the equivalent hardware. But… I am cheap. Photoshop was in my tool set back when work…

  • Katie is All Smile

    Katie is All Smile, originally uploaded by Ezra S F. Yesterday was another Athens, GA Strobists meet. Like the previous meets, there was lots of talk about camera capabilities, radio trigger capabilities, working the camera within the flash synchronization speed, etc. I did stand in for some shots while we waited on actual models to…

  • I’m blogging this.

    For about eight months I have participated in a group called the Brunch Bunch here in Athens. We get together to eat and talk. Many conversations drift into the nerdy (my forté?). The locations vary so I have gotten to try new (to me) restaurants. Elizabeth (pictured right) vouched that I am a great guy.…

  • Losing My Mind

    CPR/AED training requires time on the floor rescuing dummies. Objects in pockets, like my Digital Elph, interfere with rescuing dummies. Digital cameras on desks without supervision have a tendency to disappear. (Not so much from coworkers kleptomania but from my distractions.) So I put it in my work backpack.  Today is the First Day of…

  • Shooting on the Run

    Do you have a camera that you take everywhere? My Canon SD800 IS (Elph) This digital point and click camera does well for every day use. In the winter, it fits in my coat pockets very easily. In the summer, it fits in my cargo or carpenter shorts’ pockets. I have it so often, others…

  • YouTube

    Finally got over my YouTube issue…. Basically, the upload form said files were limited to 100MB. That’s like 1 minute for the default settings of my Canon Elph (640×480 @ 60 fps). So I end up not having to use longer videos I shot. Until I found Google Video had a downloadable tool to push…

  • Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3

    Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 Originally uploaded by sneezypb. I’d like to welcome this Sigma lens to my camera family. It will replace my Canon kit lens for Digital Rebel XT for all around use. I find the 18mm useful… however, the 55mm was limited. Being able to go anywhere from 18mm to 200mm is quite versitile.…
