Flickr meet, April 25

The Rochester Flickr group had a get-together on the roof of one of the member’s apartment building Friday night. It was good timing as the Rochester Red Wings were playing and there are fireworks after the game. Rather small turnout for whatever reason, but it was still a fun time and a nice location too. The Red Wings lost but the fireworks were still pretty good. [...]

New line of

My friend Dan has been working on developing a line of bags for the past month or so. At the moment there are several types of bags he’s working on: messenger, camera and some kind of neoprene “quick draw” camera bag as he calls it. I don’t know the details on what exactly will eventually be available or how much they’ll cost but I expect prices to be reasonable and bags to be available in all manner of shouty colors. [...]

Image stabilization through rapid fire

If you’re like me, and you don’t own a lens with Image Stabilization, Vibration Reduction or Optical Stabilization (I think I covered all the names out there) and your camera body doesn’t have any anti-shake features built in, you may sometimes find yourself in a tough situation. [...]

Time to find a drum scanner

I’ve been looking at some older work and found a few film shots that would probably benefit from re-scanning should I decide they’re worth it. The current most likely candidate to get that treatment is a medium format shot from my first attempt at shooting star trails. I’ve always been attached to those shots (probably because they’re my first star trails), and this one from my Yashicamat for whatever reason has always appealed to me. [...]

Back to Mendon Ponds

Somehow I convinced my friends to join me down to Mendon Ponds yesterday to go for a hike and take some photos. We parked and hiked in a little bit and found some interesting things to shoot, mostly just taking advantage of the nice light from the setting sun. Eventually we decided that it was getting too dark and too chilly to stay there much longer, but I think we were also just running dry creatively for whatever reason. [...]

Wandering the Village Gate

Went to dinner with my friend Joe somewhere at the Village Gate and went upstairs to takes some photos. Unfortunately it seems a lot of the light upstairs disappeared while we were eating, I guess those skylights were doing more than I originally though. Still, it was an interesting space and probably worth exploring again sometime. I only brought my 90mm Tilt-shift in with me so I played around with that a bit. [...]

Abandoned BJs

The local BJs moved to a new location which is only probably 1/8th of a mile away as the crow flies from its original spot. I have no idea why they moved, but it at least leaves a big empty building which seems to have become a target for graffiti. [...]

Just updated WordPress to version 2.5 today. Looks good so far but I’m still lost as I wander the dashboard. Hopefully there won’t be any issues! [...]
