I’ve been using my Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital ELPH a lot lately owing to the small size and easy carryability (not really a word but it is what I mean).
I got the SD800 to replace my Pentax Optio S6 that just wasn’t cutting it as a pocket point-and-shoot. To be fair I got the [...]

Nikon recently made my DSLR lust kick into high gear by introducing the D3 and the D300. Both cameras are coming in November. The D3 looks like it will go for $4999.95. The D300 at $1799.95.
I’ve had my D200 for quite a while now and it is serving me well. I have about 7,000 images [...]

The Pirate Party 2007 happened on Friday, July 13th, 2007. It was quite a spectacle as it was held on a barge anchored out in the Milwaukee Harbor as well as two tour boats that were moored to the barge.
The barge held the stage where both live bands and DJs played as well as the [...]

I started out with the D100 and then moved to the D200, which I really like, so you might be wondering why the Nikon D50 DSLR? Well, the main reason is that it weighs a lot less. I am going to be using the D50 on an aerial photography pole camera set up and the [...]

Well, I seem to have gotten off track a bit on this project which is an attempt to post a photo a day for a year of Milwaukee on my Flickr page. It started because I was trying out a Demo of the FlickrExport Aperture Plug-in from Fraser Speirs at Connected Flow. Cool plug-in by [...]

I am right now downloading the Photoshop CS3 Beta to the MacBook Pro. This is a HUGE 684MB file and I am 5 minutes into the 22 minutes or so the download should take although I am noticing the throughput slowing. i wonder how many copies will be downloaded today? Talk about bandwidth!
I will try [...]

Well, the trail version did its job. Kudos to Apple for finally releasing a pro tool as a trial version. After ten days or so of using and playing with the 1.5 trial version I stepped up to the plate and ordered the full version from Amazon.
So far here are some things I really like:

I [...]

I am again trying Aperture since the recent posting of the fully functional trial for Aperture version 1.5. So far so good. I imported about 10,000 photos and am working trough them much more quickly than I did when I was using iView Media Pro 3. I really like the full screen version.
After reading reviews [...]

I’ve often found the reviews at Steve’s DigiCams useful and really well done. Since I already own the D200, I was not looking to get convinced to buy one but there is a ton of info and I learned a lot about my new gear. There are about 15 pages to peruse and it is [...]

I’ve been documenting the building of a SkyKing Mark Grand Mini SR slope sailplane at the shop recently and have been using my aging Nikon 995. This is a great use for this camera! I have the D100 now for action shots but I love the size of the 995 for quick stuff at the [...]

The Junior’s, Women’s and Master’s Lightning Class Nationals sail boat races are being hosted at Milwaukee Yacht Club this week. I had the opportunity to join Russ on his Laser 28 for an up close view of the racing action.
With the recent launch of juniorsailor.com, the chance to try my photo chops in a new [...]

Whoo, doggie! I should have been better about keeping track of my digital photos for the past few years. I am cleaning off the Capture drive on my powerbook preparing to upgrade to OS X 10.4 tiger and it looks like a bomb went off on that thing. So, while I am transferring them to [...]
