Vacation time – the best time to stay up till dawn being mesmerized by the night sky! The moon timelapse series was just the start.
All week I have been up till 3:00 shooting the night sky. With the moonrise occurring very late it’s perfect for photographing the Milky Way. [Read more...]
99% of the time I am a total Nikon fan…but this week, I am hating them.
Here’s why. As a former 35mm shooter of transparencies (slide film) I have thousands of film images the get digitized whenever I have time or the need arises. By far the tool for scanning that has the best combination of quality and price is the Nikon CoolscanV ED slide scanner. I bought mine years ago for around $1000 US, maybe a bit more. It is one of the most anti-obsolescent camera products I will ever own. Or so I thought…
The prairies have their share of wild weather in the hot months of July and August.
This storm fortunately blew over and didn’t amount to much.
The Nikon D300 comes with a built-in intervalometer for taking images at regular intervals according to you predefined exposure and interval settings.
I’ve been playing around with this and finally got a pretty cool (yet not perfect) time lapse photo of the full moon and Mars? as they arc accross the night sky. I did add bit of “music” just for fun! (The Aliens enjoy it.)
I seem to like to “redecorate” quite often, but this time the blog redesign was more for functionality and ease of use for you, than just because the blog needed a bit of jazzing up. WordPress 3.0 offers such an easy platform for everything from slideshows to uploading images from your phone that I just couldn’t find the joy in writing on the old blog platform any longer. 
I have so many new things to show you now, and new techniques to share but it was getting to be a bit of a chore to open up that old blog and get going… But problem solved – thanks to WordPress. Plus WP and my iPhone are also a super combo for getting you more innovative photography info online more often.
This first post on my new blog was made on my iPhone, photo upload and all!
