Netted me these:

............. having an original print of your Grandmother in her wedding gown in 1933? A: Having the original negative for the image!!!!!!! Yep! In my project to digitize all my old family photos, I've come across about 1,000 original negatives tucked away in several old...

As of today, I'm officially more than doubling my digital camera collection. I've had my two D600 and a P7100 for a year now. Today, the Magic Brown Truck delivered the last of my four latest purchases..... S3500's all. So I've gone from 3 digital cameras to 7..... at least until Saturday...

King Kamehameha - Shooting in the waves - Pictures - CBS News Can't find a link to the video.

Noticed this morning that Siggy's 8mm circular fisheye (for full-frame bodies) is no longer listed on their website. Did they drop it from their line-up, or is it simply a website error?

Finally got out with a camera for the first time this year. Was talking to the neighbor, and they had jays and cardinals and all sorts of winged critters at their feeders. So after I got my chores done this morning, I went a huntin'......... and all the birds were gone. So I picked another...

Just a heads-up for anyone who uses any sort of digital camera: It's a fact of life you will, at some time or other, find yourself needing to recover images from a corrupt or reformatted memory card. DO NOT wait until you need to recover lost images before you look for a solution. It's...

Finally got out this morning to take my new (to me) Sigma 8mm circular fisheye for a test drive. I haven't had a chance to do my standard bench-test to find to 'sweet spot', so I tried to keep the aperture at f/8 or f/11. As I'm visiting family in Texas for the holiday, I took a stroll around...

Decided to see what the 70-200/2.8 could do with the neighbor's Christmas lights.... what the bokeh might look like as well as stars. I only stayed out 10 minutes... it's too cold!

Got bored today, so I went hunting for the descramblings of various manufacturers alphabet soup they use on their gear: Canon AFD – Arc-Form Drive AL – Aspheric Lens CA – Circular Aperture CaF2 – Fluorite Element DO – Diffractive optics ED - Extra-low Dispersion EF - Electronic Focus EF-S...

Nothing earth-shattering.... Just spend the day with a friend.

Ha ha! Made you look! You thought it was going to be 280 Mpixels!

Funny how you see something over and over, then suddenly you see a shot!

For some reason, this tree just fascinates me. I took several shots of it in '12, but only edited one originally. Lately, I've been going back through the archives to put a fresh look on old shots, and I keep gravitating to this tree. I think I finally got justice done with a B&W conversion...

Scanning & digitizing the old family photos, and came across this:

Cleaning my gear tonight, and wanted to see what was on the memory cards. So I pushed the Preview button, and got a black screen. Hmm. Somethings wrong here. Turn camera off and back on, press the Preview button. Black screen again. Try it a second time, same results. OK, so what am I...

.... and some days, like today, I'm stuck at home sick as a dog. To pass the time, I try to get creative. Comments welcome!

Vini, vidi, vete. (I came, I saw, I was bored)
