More Macro Photography

Here is a gallery of macro photography that I’ve been working on.  I don’t use a proper macro lens.  Instead, I use a macro adaptor as well as a cheap metal ring that allows me to mount my lenses on backwards.  (I know it sounds odd, but search Amazon.com for “reverse lens mount” and you’ll [...]

Seattle At Night

Here is a series of photographs that I took of Seattle, WA at night in late January 2011.  Most of the photos were taken at using a Sigma 50MM 1.4 lens on my Canon 5D Mark II.  The aerial photos were taken from the top floors of the Columbia Center.

Minneapolis Blizzard 2010

Well, it snowed.  It snowed a lot.  We have gotten over 20 inches so far and it will not be stopping for a few more hours.  So, I grabbed my camera, Katie and went to take some photos of the Walker Sculpture garden in the snow!  Enjoy the photos and videos from this afternoon.

Time Lapse Experiment

This is a time lapse experiment that I have been tinkering with for the last month.  I wanted to try a new work flow based around raw images instead of JPEG images.  Every frame was captured as a raw image and imported in to an Aperture 3 library.  From there, I batch processed the images [...]

Here is a high resolution panoramic view of a beach we visited in Michigan. It isn’t a great photo technically, but it is fun to scroll around so I decided to post it. 72 Megapixel Michigan Beach

Apple Keyboard + UV Light

I have a question for all material scientists & plastic experts.  I have an Apple wireless keyboard and a near-UV LED flashlight.   As one would expect, many things fluoresce:  tee shirts, white paper, etc.  What is odd, is that only some of the keys on my keyboard do this.  I would expect this to be [...]
