… but now that I have some serious video that I need a voiceover for, it’s raining. We did this on the last one, didn’t we?
Literally a meter from the door
Yes, it’s/they’re more likely female I think, but whatever. Just shut up.
Actually, the white thing is a bucket catching rainbarrel overflow, so I popped the second one into it and carried them both
Definitely one of the more awkward things I’ve ever attempted, especially in the name of mere curiosity.
So the eastern kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula) made another appearance a few minutes ago, and this time it was too far out of the burrow to retreat back into it, so in moments I had it in hand. First things first: this is not the same one as
Actually, it’s hard to believe that, in over sixteen years of posting, I haven’t used that title before…
So early this morning, the ISS was supposed to pass in front of the moon again, at least in my location, and I was all prepared to go out after it again. I didn’t have visibility here at Walkabout Estates Plus, so I packed my gear down to a spot just off the waterfront,
Holy shit, it’s been over a year since the last Profiles! You must think we’ve become compassionate or something! We’ll have to see what we can do to correct that horrid misapprehension…
This time around we have Shailagh, whose favorite month is June because people think she’s observing Pride Month when in reality she always looks like this, observing nothing because
Okay, this holiday actually occurred almost a week ago on May 25th, but I’m bringing it up now intentionally, and you’ll understand why in a moment – give or take.
Today (not today) is the birthday of Dumfroot Spaglokkit, known far and wide to photographers as the inventor of the shutter lag. Here’s his story:
In the early days of the field when photographers had to create
It’s January, it’s cold, everyone (in the northern hemisphere) is cooped up inside, and to top it all off, we’re back with the tag roundup – death and tags, you can’t escape them. And while you think you know what tags are and what they’re for, here on the ol’ Walkabout blogaroonie, they’re also irreverent and uncouth comments on the content, and since
This is just a little reminder, for your sake and ours: Nature photography benefits from doing things correctly. Today, we’re going to talk about shooting through windshields. As easy as it might be, as convenient as it might be, despite the fact that your subject may not permit your attempt to avoid it by opening a door or window and leaning out, don’t shoot through windshields.
This has actually been recommended before, at about this time of year, and I’m a little remiss in not making this a full post, especially two weeks ago or more to give people a chance to get it on their own. You can get it rushed to you in time for the new year, at least.
The movie in question is Hogfather, based on the novel of the same name by Terry Pratchett, an
Or to be more specific, another milestone to photographers, because it doesn’t really impact photography in any significant way. But today is the birthday of Patois Ferndiddler. known far and wide (for a given definition of those, anyway,) as the inventor of the neck strap.
Ferndiddler’s innovation came along in that crucial time period between photographers no longer being able to afford
A bit over a week ago I guess, I woke up here at the new Walkabout Manor during the move-in process, which meant a fitful night on the air mattress while we waited for the trailer with most of our belongings to get delivered.
