Right around New Years, several of my blogging buddies posted articles that laid out their photography resolutions for 2012. Even though I had some goals in mind, I chose not to post them, because I knew that the moon would need to be in the correct phase and the planets would need to be aligned [...]

Basic photography
A certain 20-something who lives in my household – but who expects to move to Asia in the near future – told me yesterday that this blog has gotten stale, that it was much more interesting when I talked more about photography and less about social networks. I think it’s just a matter of taste, [...]

Ice, day and night
Sandwiched by last week’s 10 degree wind and today’s freezing rain, yesterday brought beautiful weather. It was a great day to go take pictures, and it happily coincided with the “Ithaca Ice Wars Carving Competition” on the Commons (a stop on the NICA Tour of Champions!). How could I miss that? The competition started Friday evening [...]

Hockey photos
In my quest to branch out from taking photos of dogs, squirrels and birds, I decided to take advantage of some tickets that I had won in a drawing earlier this week, and spent the afternoon at the Cornell women’s hockey game. Well armed with advice on taking hockey pictures from helpful bloggers Daniel Woolston [...]

Thursday evening at the mall
When it’s dark outside by the time I get out of work, where do I go to get some good photo ops? The mall, of course! It’s kind of like street photography, but the warm-in-winter variety. I took a street photography workshop in July – toted the S90 around the Commons – and had a [...]

The 50mm arrives!
Woohoo! The 50mm lens arrived today! This morning’s flooding rain turned to snow, but nothing deterred Brown. I patiently waited about half an hour -just-in-case there might be some problems with condensation when I brought it in… then… I put it on the camera, eagerly anticipating that beautiful first shot! Oh right. I’m not a [...]

Adventures in RAW
RAW format. My S90 has it… the Rebel XS has it… what’s so great about it? I’ve been looking around the web to try to figure out whether I should shoot in RAW or jpeg. The best post I found was here. The answer appears to be: if I’m not in a hurry to get [...]

And so it begins
I like to take pictures. I’ve taken some that I really like, and lots that should never see the light of day. I’ve never gone beyond the standard point-and-shoot… until this morning, when I took advantage of Black Friday at Best Buy (for you Chuck fans, it’s kind of like the Buy More) to buy [...]
