No, I still haven’t dealt with pics from Chuck’s birthday party *am so bad* but last weekend I took the camera with me to the St. Andrew’s Celtic Festival to snap pics of the band while they performed. Man are they boring to shoot. Except for Loch Ness Monster, one picture is much the [...]
I haven’t yet spent the quality time with my new flash that I had hoped to by now, but I got a couple of things wrong. It isn’t an off-camera flash, exactly. It fits into the flash shoe above the lens barrel. So…still might have red-eye probs. Grrr. It comes with an offset attachment [...]

My first foray into photography was in July 2004 at that year’s Gatecon. Joe and I took off with both a traditional 35mm point and shoot Olympus Stylus and a 5 megapixel Sony Cyber-Shot. We took pictures under just about every conceivable situation: outdoors (sunny and overcast), indoors, in a dark room from far away, [...]
