My new lens arrived today, just as I was leaving my apartment to go back to campus for a meeting. It’s a new Canon 24mm 3.5L TS-E. That TS-E being the significant bit. This lens has movements akin to what I used to use on 4×5 cameras (only not as much range). [...]

As I mentioned in this post, I was ordering some new gloves. They just arrived today because DHL decided the snow yesterday was too scary and didn’t bother to ever actually try to deliver them.
Here’s how they look when the fingertips aren’t folded back:
First impressions are positive. They fit well, are tight but not too tight and they do a pretty good job of insulating my hand and blocking the wind. The folding fingertip design seems to work well too. [...]

Sorry for no new content. I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately. Having trouble figuring out what to shoot and not to pleased with the results at times. Has happened before, hopefully it will pass soon. I’ve got some things I’d like to try to shoot this weekend if not sooner should I feel energized enough to do it. The results make it worthwhile, sometimes it’s just slow getting [...]

On newschoolofphotography.com’s forum someone stumbled across these gloves and nobody could find them on sale anywhere. I finally ran in to a site that carried them and ordered a pair (hopefully they fit, otherwise I’ll have to exchange them). They’re made by Pow, and the fingertips on the thumb, pointer and middle fingers fold back. Essentially they’re aimed at photographers, they call them the “Pho-tog” after all. [...]

I just successfully (I hope!) updated the blog to the latest Wordpress. After biting my nails, it wasn’t all that bad. If anyone sees problems, let me [...]

These past few weeks have been hectic between finishing up this term, getting ready for the next and getting travel arrangements in order. I hope to do some shooting later this week, and especially in the next two weeks since I’ll have some time off. There will be some new stuff, I [...]

Sometimes I take an image and have a heck of a time getting it to come out right. Yesterday I went to Letchworth State Park with a couple friends to take some photos and I got a handful of shots that I’ll put up here over the next day or so.
One of the first images I edited was the one below and the first one I produced was too green. Usually I can rely on digital counts to figure out the color of whats in the scene but with a shot like this it’s harder. [...]

Like I mentioned yesterday, Joe and I went up to Irondequoit Bay and this time shot from the south end facing roughly north. We went back and forth for a bit before splitting up and shooting behind this boat dock/launch storage place. I’m not quite sure what it was, but when we were in the middle of shooting a couple pulled in to put their boat away and I was sure (based on past experiences) that we were going to get yelled at and shooed away. [...]

I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since I’ve posted anything. Having school start back up has really distracted me. I have only gone shooting twice between the last post and now. The first time, around the 13th of the month, nothing worthwhile came of the attempt. Yesterday though I got a few things worth keeping from Irondequoit Bay. [...]
