Not-very-hypothetically speaking, if one were to be taking a trip in the near future to a location that will involve a lot of swimming, under- and on-water activities, and the occasional downpour, what would be everyone’s recommendations regarding an affordable waterproof image-capturing device?
From what research I have been doing, options still seems strangely limited, despite camera manufacturers producing arguably weather- and water-proof cameras for almost as long as they have been producing cameras [...]

It makes a lot more sense when removed from its case. Also, it tends to be somewhat energetic about the whole “removing” thing:
(The sides are held up by metal bands which are wrapped around themselves for packaging – if you do not expect it, it can be… interesting. )
Which allows me to take photos like this:
Now I [...]
- (closed) | 2236 25Oct12 | written by LinogeMy friends at Tennessee Tactical Airsoft of Knoxville are in the midst of cleaning out the warehouse soon to be their indoor CQB arena (incidentally, this building was originally constructed by Camel Manufacturing Company, which provided the US Military with tents and associated canvas products way back right after World War 1 and on until today), and they let me come over and take a few pictures. I promised them some useful pictures for their [...]
- (closed) | 1200 30Sep12 | written by LinogeThese pictures were taken approximately at these two locations:
The first two are of the Harris Distributing Warehouse, the third is of a building near it, and the rest are along the tracks near Old City.
I just keep seeing the second-to-last one as a resupply station in Half Life 2 or something…

I will not even try to behave like I understand the science of that thing’s inner workings, but here is what it turns into when the [...]

- (closed) | 2114 10Oct11 | written by LinogeWhen I am not busy trying to keep myself from feeding my other far-too-expensive hobbies (firearms and automobiles), I find myself wandering around the nooks and crannies of Lens Hero trying to decide if I want my next lens to be a dedicated telephoto, a dedicated macro, or some combination of the two (my current kit only consists of the 18-55mm kit lens and a 35mm prime). I have been dragging my feet for something [...]

- (closed) | 1844 22Sep11 | written by LinogeYou see that awesome new header image at the Empty Mags Podcast?
Yeah. I took that.
Crazier still? He paid me for it.
Please excuse me while I go do a happy dance.
…
So. Anywise. If you want a specific photo for your weblog header image, use on your site, or some other purpose, drop me a line at “linoge (at) wallsofthecity (dot) net”. Likewise, if you want a hardcopy [...]
- (closed) | 2023 12Sep11 | written by LinogeWalls of the City Photography now has an online print store, courtesy of Imagekind. I shopped around a bit for sources to sell prints through, and these folks seem the best for my purposes at the moment… and they do not charge a subscription fee. You and I both know I will not sell enough prints to cover a $150-a-year charge, but for the pros who casually drop thousands on single lenses, I can definitely [...]

My DSLR shoots pictures at 2592×3888 pixels, which works out to 1×1.5. This is not equivalent to 5×7 (1×1.4), 8×10 (1×1.25), 11×14 (1×1.27bar), or 16×20 (1×1.25 again).
In regards to that new shop I might or might not be working on, do you want me to (A) put the pictures up in their original dimension ratio and let you all do your cutting-and-snipping as you like, or [...]
- (closed) | 2142 23Aug11 | written by LinogeOk, maybe not, but it could be.
Apparently my pictures of the Knoxville Standard Knitting Mill were a hit. Go me.
So do you want an actual copy of one of those (or any of my other pictures) to hang on a wall of your own? Zazzle seems capable of generating 8”x10” to 24”x35” photo prints for between $3ish and $40ish respectively, and posters for between $10ish and $25ish, and CafePress can do [...]
