I finally broke down and ordered an off camera cord to help me learn flash. I went with a Chinese knock off over the canon because of the price. Because it was so “inexpensive” I also picked up a few other things from dealextreme while I was “there”. The tripod head is an “inexpensive” knockoff […]

Happy Easter everyone. This is Elias’ second Easter, we’re spending it the same way as last year, having lunch at the Stinton’s. We also had dinner at my parents house last night. Not much else going on this weekend except for a rain-out yesterday (got a few things done inside) and it’s been cold/windy all […]

A few friends of mine from my photo forum have been getting together to shoot sunrises lately. This is our fourth meet, this time it was at Ft Wetherill in Jamestown. We’d probably all agree none of us get our best work done at these meets (between it beeing way too early and us talking […]

Well, Adorama finally got LX3s back in stock again. I actually ordered this almost 2 months ago (I ordered it late January). I’m somewhat torn as to even opening it. I had my samsung NV-10 which was a terrible P&S but it did what I needed a P&S to do. But it broke skiing (pushed […]

I got up and shot another sunrise Saturday with my friends. This week we went to Sakonnet Point which was a bit of a drive considering it’s still in RI, but was over an hour away! We had a great time as usual and I got some shots I’m pretty happy with.

Yep, this is my second time around with the 17-40, and I’m selling it again. The 2.8 zooms keep calling my name, especially now that I shoot indoors so much with Elias. So I’m moving on the the older 16-35 I this time. Hopefully I can deal with it’s soft corners (only when not stopped […]

My buddy Markitos ended up one upping my 20-35 with a 16-35. NOT a 16-35II but the original version… That got me thinking, and I checked KEH.com and it turns out they had one for less than my 17-40 and 20-35 are worth combined. I had a 16-35II for a while, but it was too […]

Well I’m back on the fence about 2.8 zooms again. I’ve been loving my 20-35L, but it’s been bugging me owning 2 lenses with the same FL. Especially when the same 2 lenses are/were later combined. But I’d owned the 16-35II and didn’t like it’s size/weight, but I especially hate it’s hood and filter size […]

I got up super early this morning again for another NSOP landscape/seascape shoot. We had a blast shooting Black Point in Narragansett. I got a few good shots and had a ton of fun. I’m not thrilled on the processing of these, but it’s a new camera, computer and software, so I’m working the kinks […]

Well the parade/party day at least. It’s been a hectic week (yes I say that a lot, but it’s been a very bad few weeks at work, then we had an issue with our gas line at the house). I then shot this morning’s sunrise (up at 5:30am) with some guys from my photography forum. […]

After a rough week at work, some of the guys on my photo forum were having a group meet down @ Weakapog beach this morning, so I decided to join them. It was actually very nice to get out and shoot something w/o people in it. That’s what I generally prefer shooting, but it was […]

Well Monday night we had another birthday party for Elias… His official party was Sunday, but since we were home Monday as well we figured we’d have my parents over for dinner and have another party on his actual birthday. We were supposed to be flying to/in SLC visiting my sister, but work issues forced […]

Yeah, it’s ALMOST Elias birthday… So close in fact today was his first (of 2) parties… Debbie and Andy threw him an awesome party today at their place and we invited everyone we knew with kids as well as Nikki’s family and friends. It was a great time and Elias seemed to enjoy all the […]
