So here is a taste of the geography of the Everglades, where we spent our vacation last weekend. The first image is the *.jpg after being touched up by Picasa’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” function, and the second image is [...] An interesting taste of some pictures to come, courtesy of Rollip. At Les Jones’ suggestion, Better Half, some friends, and I spent some time out at Burgess Falls and the Black Mountain Loop Trail. Well, it looks like my XTi is back to fully-operating condition. I took a few pictures around my town yesterday, and then tinkered them into HDRs – gotta love RAW images, apart from the whole “MASSIVE filesize” thing… As [...] Well, it is looking like my shiny new XTi will be headed back to see its maker. Neither I, nor Better Half, nor a friend of ours, can get it to focus properly on much of anything. [...] A while back, I mentioned that I was upgrading my old-and-busted S200 to a new(er)-and-shiny XTi, and, well, the toy got here: Coincidentally appropriate for the day, while North Korea was testing their new nuclear toys, Better Half and I were exploring Alcoa’s own “Millennium Manor“. Les Jones has probably the best collection of news [...] I am a sucker for taking pictures of old buildings, especially ones that have started succumbing to entropy, whether it is due to abandonment, of simply the ravages of copious temporal displacement. One such structure I have had the [...] The copious amounts of rain we received this morning, in conjunction with a conversation on IRC, reminded me a bit of how my car looked after Katrina had its way with it… For clarity’s sake, this is what a [...] While I have never really lived anywhere where this particular epiphytic plant was prevalent, I have always considered “spanish moss” to be rather photogenic. A trip Better Half and I took a while back afforded me the [...] All of the following pictures were taken at or in the Al-Fateh Grand Mosque in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This mosque ranks as one of the largest in the world, and is capable of accomodating [...] How is it that I am just now finding out about high-dynamic-range photography? For those interested, below is how those black and white pictures from earlier turned out. One of the more random things we snagged on our short foray into the Church of Commercialism on Black Friday was a couple 12-place fames from WallyWorld, holding 4 3.5″x3.5″ (random-assed size, that), 8 4″x6″, and one 5″x7″ [...] Well, reminding myself of DoGA reminded me to reinstall it on this new computer of mine, which prompted me to test out its rendering capabilities. Considering that it can render a 1600×1200 image sprouting far too many [...]
One of the more random things I collect (aside from firearms, books, nutcrackers, and movies) is shotglasses – they are small, easily portable, and relatively easy to come by in just about any corner of the world. Thankfully, Better [...] So, apparently, way back in the day, all American-made furniture was made in the vicinity of Hickory and High Point North Carolina, and the towns around them. These days, those same companies that used to [...] One of the byproducts of our most-recent move is that Better Half and I have realized just how little we have in the way of furniture. Two dressers, a bed, two futons, an arm chair, a desk, a desk [...] So if I was not at the gunblogging event of… at least the year, then where was I? Well, Better Half and I took something of a short vacation up in the hills of Western North Carolina with her [...] So, I have to admit, those stupid little five-dollar tool kits from WalMart make all the difference in the world. As a child, I was only able to make use of the tools, knives, and implements I could scrounge [...] … so to speak. I finally got up off my lazy ass and took a short walking tour of the city in which I am currently residing… just as well, considering that I will be moving out of it in [...] One of the few (only?) advantages of living in northern coastal Florida is the easy access to a plethora of different beaches, be they straight on the ocean, on brackish inlets, or on full-blown marshes. There is absolutely no shortage [...] |
