Thanks to a tip I came across on a Flickr group, I discovered that my Nikon Coolpix P6000 could use off camera flashes (Strobist style) via my cheapo Cactus Triggers (aka Poverty Wizards). These are a cheap set consisting of a transmitter and receiver for any flash that I got off ebay for about $25…
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been playing around with my shiny (actually it’s matte black) new Nintendo DSi. One of the new features of the DSi is the fact that it has two onboard cameras (one facing towards you and one facing outwards), albeit sub-megapixel ones. There is a built in camera…
I recently traded in my Nintendo DS Lite and some old games for a (basically free) Nintendo DSi so I’ve been playing around with it a fair bit lately (especially the cameras it has). I stumbled upon a Twitter client for it called DSTwitter that is actually pretty cool: Of course, something like the iPhone…
Light Writer is a persistence of vision application for the iPhone. Essentially it’s a tool for using your iPhone to paint with light…and it’s pretty fun to play with. You will most likely need a camera to actually be able to see the effect. A slow shutter shot will allow the full message to be…
As many of you know, I’m a big fan of Crumpler bags. I have one for practically every situation I could need one for. I recently had the chance to ‘trade up’ my 7 Million Dollar Home for a Brazillion Dollar Home (they have the funnest names for their bags): Basically, someone bought a bag…
This year, during Earth Hour, I played around with my camera and some tea lights on the floor. This photo is the result: It was printed in The Herald-Gazette from Barnesville, Georgia on March 31st, 2009. Someone at the newspaper found my photo on Flickr and sent me an email to ask permission to use…
Thanks to a tip by Ianiv awhile ago, I’ve discovered a great way to post iPhone photos online very quickly and without a lot of effort. Sure you can simply email your photos to Flickr or post them to Twitter via Twitpic, but why not do both at the same time and with more control…
Playing with my Lensbaby Composer and the star disk from the creative aperture kit on my D90 while driving back from Seattle: Sometimes it’s fun when you don’t have to drive.
I’ve gotten a lot of requests for a low light sample with the Kodak Zx1 and thought it might be good to see how it compares to the Zi6 so I strapped them together on a tripod: While the cameras aren’t perfectly lined up, the video below should demonstrate low light well enough. Both clips…
Last month, I set a new photography goal which was to take/upload at least one photo every day. Made it…barely. A couple days were a little close but I managed to shoot something every day. The experiment continues…
