I don't have a way to just share this with those of you in the United States (which is where it applies) but I've made print prices as reasonable as possible to try and get orders in for Christmas Gifts. Every year there are last minute prints orders and it is nearly impossible to get them to you in time. Plus you probably would like time to mat and frame them. At any rate – [more]
Seeing this about to happen, and running up, and click, and wondering if I got anything as I continued on my way to my "real" job. #FilmFriday That was the thing about film. After you had taken a shot – you could walk around for a long time wondering whether you had it or not. I'm not shooting film any longer, but it's one of the things that I miss about it – that sort [more]
This is another example of an HDR shot that was done with the GorillaPod – not on the floor but leaning on a sign. What was that sign? No pictures? I honestly don't remember. I could probably do about the same thing handheld, but the gorilla pod is very useful when you are in a dark situation as this was. I hate to carry around a lot of equipment. So the fact that I can [more]
#pixiq-dlb I've begun to do some writing for Pixiq and I'll post links to them here. Why post them there and not here? Only one reason – I signed a contract to supply them with four posts per month, which will help make ends meet. It will also be easier to find them by category etc. on Pixiq once there are a bunch of them. Even now you can see all my posts at this [more]
I have no idea why I called this "bike jump" when I scanned this medium format negative. I see bikes, but not that he's jumping over them. Maybe they're out of frame. But as I recall the shot, they had a slope that the skater went at as fast as they could and then lofted into the air. I can tell you this – had I been shooting with a 35mm camera, this would not [more]

When I first began to experiment with infrared (in the film days) I got a lot of flak from blog followers who wrote things like, "infrared is what photographers run to when they're bored." Or: "oh, no, Dave – say it ain't so. Infrared has been done to death." And of course a similar reaction happened (going back a bit) when I went from film to digital (though that was a circuitous path that deserves [more]
