Photojojo’s Brilliant Rubber Band Lens It will be interesting to see if this thing really works. I have a bumper on my iPhone which will probably raise the lens too far off the camera and my guess is any iPhone case will change focal length on this lens. Worth $15 to find out. Photojojo’s site: [...]

Candies Photographed in Water Drops PetaPixel has a nice post on how to shoot water drops on a glass or acrylic surface so that objects placed underneath the surface seem to be contained in each drop. This would be a fun setup and shot to try with different objects and various kinds of lighting.

Sharon, Connecticut. The Sharon Audubon Center has over twenty injured raptors that we love to visit from time to time. The bald eagle is magnificent as are the great horned owls. This summer, on our way to the raptor cages we passed a small butterfly garden and given that we had some rented camera gear [...]

Bryan makes this as simple as it can be. Very well explained. Everyone should try this although maybe not by a freeway and maybe on a day that’s not so windy. Great stuff. Check out some of Bryan’s other videos on YouTube.

Warren, Connecticut. I was going through some boxes of saved stuff (I have many, too many) and found a piece of The Berlin Wall that my friend David Darling brought back from Berlin for me in 1989 when it came down. If you don’t know much about The Wall you might explore the Wikipedia entry [...]

New Preston, Connecticut. We were early for yoga class this morning and next door to the building the class is held in is a small herb garden. Anne rolled her eyes and groaned when I broke out the macro gear to see about a picture of this lavender plant before class started. I didn’t know [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Two things that took me too long to learn about photography: overcast days can make for better color saturation and easier exposure setups, and flowers going by can be as interesting as flowers at their peak. I’m still using a rented Canon EF 180mm f/3.5 L macro lens and enjoying it.

Warren, Connecticut. I rented the Canon 180mm f/3.5 L macro lens for a week and I have to say, it’s quite a nice lens for these types of shots. The longer (than 100mm) focal length makes for nice compression and the lens makes nice colors and beautiful bokeh. It’s a beast though so one really [...]

My wife brings all the outside potted plants into our basement for the winter and now, just before she puts them out for the summer, there are lots of flowering plants leaning toward the big window in the basement. They’re hungry for light. Given that it’s breezy outside and difficult to take pictures [...]
