After seven months, I rang Wex and asked them, "Where is my new toy?!" They said, "It's here!" So I'm getting something new to play with tomorrow. I've already warned my boss that my productivity may be low.. Far too excited for my age, and I don't care. No idea how to fit it into a camera...

BIG THANK YOU. I will keep you all up to date, I am ridding all the time when weather is nice yesterday rode 12.11 miles today off mowed the yard 1 1/2 hour 3.56 miles. I invite you all to Sedalia Mo. if you are in the area.

Yesterday (April 18, 2023) Adobe entered the modern noise removal arena. Yesterday’s release includes real AI noise reduction in Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. I have been a big fan of DxO Photo Lab for the Deep Prime noise reduction. Until now I think it has been the best there is with Topaz...

A recent mistake has me a bit concerned. I shot a bunch of photos that were supposed to be 33MP but they ended up around 14MP. The guides for printing on the internet all seem to err on the side of caution. In the past I've had excellent results from 20MP M-4/3 at either 24" X 30" or 24" x 36"...

Last night, my wife and I traveled 160 miles to watch my Kansas University play Texas Tech in basketball. KU is #7 in the nation and TT was 13. Our seats were in the nose bleed section of the Fieldhouse but it did not matter. I was among the 16. 299 other fans screaming for the Jayhawks. KU...

The RX10 Mk4 is the "big camera" and the G12 is the little camera -- got it? The Mk4 ticks all the boxes on my great camera list, except small. Small it isn't. So a lot of times when I'm rattling out the door for an errand, I grab the little camera . . . "just in case." That's what I did...

Huge partial moon hanging in the sky this AM. Put the RX10 4 in full auto mode to see what it would do. Could hear it chattering away, making multiple images and stacking them. Got this: Put it in P mode and rolled in a bunch of minus exposure compensation: Ran it through DXO 9: Ran...

Judging by the preannouncement by Canon, the upcoming EOS R5 is looking to be a big player. https://www.dpreview.com/news/8022128608/canon-announces-development-of-eos-r5-with-8k-video-and-20fps-shooting I don't always see eye to eye with Canon wrt their lenses but I have to recognize their...

What do you desire this moment, how come and will you do anything about it? What fancy reasons, made-up or otherwise you are able to tell yourself? :)

Every year I shoot a huge vacation bible school. Which is now by far the biggest event I shoot since retiring from cons and festivals. I've posted about all the changes I made to my kit. Gearing it towards portraits/candids, musicians performing, and events. After the second day I realized that...

I decided it was time to redecorate the living room wall. It's an 8 metre wall with no windows or doors in it, and it's just begging for a big print. This is five 80x120cm (32"x48") canvas prints combined in a 400x120cm (13' by 4') panorama, and it looks awesome :) The source image is a single...

These used to serve as a sign Big Boy Burgers restaurants when I was growing up. I had not seen one in years. But driving today through the arts district I found this on display. (carefully chained as not to be stolen). Had to stop and grab a photo. Used the Coolpix A little flash to pop the...
