I have been going in so many directions recently, tackling umpteen different projects at once, to the point where I’m barely picking up the camera, and when I do, it’s more for things like the previous post. Thus the blog has been sadly neglected, and I apologize to all one readers…
This is not to say that I haven’t been doing anything photography-related, however –
And by, “important,” I mean, “ridiculously and trivially personal,” which is exactly what a blog is for, right?
Anyway, a few days back I lamented being unable to capture images of a frog while it was ensconced within the grooves of the elephant ear stalks, which was enough to stir Fate
I will admit, this is the boring end of photography, and indeed, any kind of potentially money-making venture, but it’s necessary nonetheless, and perhaps I can assist in making it a little easier and less time-consuming, so it’s less boring for that. So let’s look at the seedy underside of such pursuits, which is the administration. While this is geared towards
I’ve collected a few too many frogs, so I’m slashing prices and passing the savings on to you. Let’s see if I can complete this before October really and truly has left.
Back on the 10th, I found this little spud sitting on the decorative sweet potato plants alongside the front door, slightly larger than a thumbnail. It behaved well enough to allow me
Another quiet week, so we’ll make up for it with a video – how’s that sound?
While the wood ducks (Aix sponsa) had thinned throughout the summer, they were still making appearances, albeit mostly the juveniles. Abruptly, the Canada geese (Branta canadensis) joined them, a couple

Yes indeed, October has to go pick up the kids, so it’s dropping a couple of abstracts by the pool in a hurry before anyone can ask any questions. They look a little something like this:
One of those times
Okay, this is one that I do not have mastered well enough yet, and still get caught on – not often, but more often than I should, given how long I’ve been doing this. And it’s simple: Check your settings!
As in, each time you take the camera out of the bag, and each time you put it back (either one would be enough, if done consistently, but both is a safety margin.) It’s not
A handful of the pics that have been accumulating over the past couple of weeks I decided to go with the creepy ones this time around.
First, if you recall when I tackled the jagged ambush bug some time back, I placed
For the last Tip Jar where I talked about making your own photographic accessories, I uploaded the design of the custom macro softbox to Thingiverse, a 3D design hosting site – I’d been meaning to do for a while but avoided it because, well, the softbox only works for one type of flash unit, long discontinued (though
