  • Batch Scanning Old Photos the Fast Way

    Photography

    Recently I had to take a set of slides exported out of PowerPoint and turn them into slides again. While the process was totally backwards, it generally worked for the purposes of the meeting.  When PowerPoint exports slides, it puts 6 slides on a page in PDF form.  So to get them back into slides,  [...]

  • Project 365: Trying it Again!

    Photography

    For those of you who don’t know what Project 365 is, the below link is a good site to learn about it: http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/project-365-take-a-photo-a-day/ I discovered a lot about myself in the year I did Project 365 the first time in 2007.

    Another Year, another project

    One of the things I really enjoyed about 2008 was looking back over all of the photos captured in my Project365. I could look back and see something from each day and remember what happened that day. As I get older (and time passes faster) it’s nice to have some record of what happens in [...]

Some folks do a theme each month or something of similar sorts to keep the project interesting to keep [...]

  • Why can’t I just get the next Powershot S50?

    Photography

    It’s been a great camera. We’ve taken a lot of pictures together and have been a lot of places, but it’s time to move onto bigger and better things. The camera almost always comes with when I’m on the bike, so being compact is really important. An SLR is too big. I’ve looked for it’s [...]

  • Panoramic Photography

    Photography

    Being one that likes to take landscape shots, at times you just cannot convey the depth of the scene in a 4×6 shot. You can’t really get a good sense for the skyline or how for instance the mountains fit into the mountain range…. The great thing about digital photography is that you can do [...]
