Passport photos, eh?

Posted by on Sep 1, 2010 in Photography Blog, Portrait Photography | Comments Off on Passport photos, eh?

Some friends needed new passport pictures made for their Canadian passports – you should see all the requirements for these pictures! It’s amazing, you just can’t take a picture, NO, you gotta have it be so many millimeters by so many millimeters – and the face needs to be so tall on the page, etc. etc. What an interesting lesson in passport photos! The cool thing was it KINDA (and I mean kinda) made a neat little print of the four of them! Of course, it would have been nicer if they were all smiling, BUT one of the...

Cheetahs AAU – Clark U Tourney

Posted by on Apr 12, 2010 in Photography Blog, Sports Photography | Comments Off on Cheetahs AAU – Clark U Tourney

Sports photography can always be challenging – there’s always something that can cause you to not have an ideal lighting situation. Outdoor sports are usually successful in that you mostly have good light – mostly because, if it’s getting dark, there’s not much you can do to make it more LIGHT OUT! Also, on extremely sunny days, there isn’t much you can do to make the sun be less bright – you can adjust your f/stop and shutter speed, etc. but at the end of the day a very bright and sunny day can cause...

April 2010 Desktop Calendar

Posted by on Apr 1, 2010 in Photography Blog | Comments Off on April 2010 Desktop Calendar

April Fools! Just kidding, I’m so psyched for Spring. Last April, we took a cruse and it left from Cape Liberty, NJ. We stayed the night before at the “W” hotel right on Frank Sinatra Boulevard. The kids and I had a lot of time to tool around and I took the opportunity to take a cool panoramic of the New York skyline. This month’s theme is that skyline!

March 2010 Desktop Calendar

Posted by on Feb 26, 2010 in Photography Blog | Comments Off on March 2010 Desktop Calendar

March is just about here! I keep forgetting how quickly February goes by. March’s is a shot I took last April in San Juan, Puerto Rico. What I like most about this shot is that it’s very colorful and has that Old San Juan feel to it. My favorite thing is that I was able to use my Photoshop acumen to get rid of a tourist that was right in the middle of my shot. Gotta love symmetry!

The Ultimate Data Storage Unit

Posted by on Jan 22, 2010 in Photography Blog, Technology | Comments Off on The Ultimate Data Storage Unit

If you’re into photography like I am OR worse VIDEO – you’re going to need a TON of disk space. Not to mention that you’re probably going to want some kind of backup of that data. When you get into multi-terabyte drives, backup can become a problem! Think about it, if you have 1, 2 or 3 Terabytes of data, you’ll need 1, 2 or 3 Terabytes of storage to backup that data. That brings me to my “Ultimate Data Storage Unit”: the Drobo. Data Robotics’ Drobo was just what the doctor ordered for me. I had...

NewerTech Voyager Q Review

Posted by on Jan 21, 2010 in Photography Blog, Technology | Comments Off on NewerTech Voyager Q Review

Every now and then I come across an amazing product, and just need to share it. I saw this product in a catalog several months back and thought it would be a neat solution for creating bootable backups of my iMac, Macbook Pro and older Powerbook G4. Well, it took me a while, but I finally got around to ordering the theNewerTech Voyager Q Hard Drive Docking Solution (FireWire∆ 800/400/USB 2.0/eSATA SATA I/II ). As you can see from the picture (left), it accepts both SATA Desktop hard drives as well as SATA laptop hard drives. I like this...

Posted by on Jan 19, 2010 in Photography Blog | Comments Off on February 2010 Desktop Calendar

I love desktop calendars! My cousin Paula does one for her siteYogaDudes Blogspot page – each month a new desktop calendar. So, with that in mind, I’m going to try to pick an appropriate photograph out of my library of pics and present to you a new calendar each month. Not that I need more on my plate, but it’s something that will help me keep focused on taking photographs, working in Photoshop and updating my website! This month (actually February’s) is a shot I took in Feb ’09 in Essex, CT. The sun was setting...
