So as I mentioned earlier, I got a new flash for macrophotography. It's pretty cool! Of course, the first thing I did was stick it on the camera and point it at something on my desk, in this case a stuffed animal. Here's the first shot: As you...

I finally found an hour to process some of the photos that I took in Vegas last weekend. The net result is that I'm quite happy with the vantagepoints I found, but now I'm having severe glass envy. I want a lens that reaches to 400-500mm, but th...

Last weekend I bought a couple of OddBallz light-up DNA balls to use in photographic experiments. We were originally going to juggle with them, but that proved to be a bit difficult, so we wound up just waving them around in interesting patterns...

Here are two shots that I got of the bay bridge on my way home tonight. The first is taken from the Embarcadero, and the other is on the ferry just as it was about to depart for Oakland.

Fireworks are easy! All you have to do is set the right exposure, point the camera, and then figure out the right times to open and close the shutter. I got two out of three right on this one.

Fireworks!

This weekend is Kaboom, the annual fireworks display put on by one of our local radio stations. I'm trying to decide between going to Treasure Island and going to the Port of Oakland to take pictures. In the meantime, here's a picture from Four...
