Canon EOS 50D

Monday, August 25th, 2008

One year ago, I bought my current camera, a Canon 40D. Today, it’s replacement is announced, the Canon EOS 50D
Why is this a big deal? Because Canon bumped their schedule by 18 months. For the past few years the XXD line was a new camera every 18 months, and I felt secure in that.
Now, my formerly good top [...]

Lake Powell Panoramas

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

 
At Lake Powell, I decided to experiment with several panoramic photos. Here are a select few:
 
 

Wahweap Marina on the afternoon we arrived. A decent sized thunderstorm had just passed us by, leaving the rainbow in the middle center of the photo in the distance.
 
 
 

 

San Juan River with the Rising Moon.

Shooting Photos

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Last weekend, I had the Boy Scout Troop out camping near Baker, CA. The point of the trip was to shoot weaponry,and to try to kill a mountain. I think we partially failed, in that the mountain is still standing strong. But everyone had fun, and no one was injured.

Birthday party pics

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Well, I finally got the photos uploaded properly. The Annoying Cousin’s 21st birthday party dinner (a few days late), went off a bit behind schedule due to traffic, but it was a success.Not everyone in these pictures is family, nor do I even know who all of them really are. But a good large selection of my [...]

More skiing

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Last Friday, I drove up to Mammoth. The entire state of California was in a lull between large storms, and Mammoth had received around a foot a day the past 3 days. Fortunately, the drive up was sunny, if a bit breezy. These cold winter storms left lots of snow around, including a dusting at [...]

Sunnier Day in Mammoth

Sunny day (and a half) in Mammoth

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Mammoth this weekend was cloudy with a light dusting of snow (about 2 minutes worth) Saturday morning, then clearing up in the afternoon. Sunday had not a cloud in the sky, and you’d certainly want a lot of sun screen! Ed and I arrived about 6pm, and spent half an hour shoveling out a walk [...]

Moon over the mountain

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

I like this photo of the moon over Mammoth Mountain, but I wish I had been able to bring the white of moon out more. It’d certainly be easier if the moon was fuller, but I didn’t get that chance.

Mammoth Pics

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

I’m back from Mammoth, all set to go back to work tomorrow. It was a good trip, though they need more snow. That’s scheduled to arrive starting on Thursday, with an estimated 5 to 10 feet arriving between then and Monday. I’d like to go up skiing with the new powder, but I doubt I’d [...]
