FacebookAugust 10 on 10: Troubleshooting.
I will get back to this blog eventually--honest. I actually debating skipping doing this 10 on 10, since there are a ton of other things I should be doing, but I ultimately decided to cameraphone it, so that way I could keep some continuity going. Yesterday was all about troubleshooting. OK, maybe not all, but mostly. Over the course of the →
Singapore Trip Day 3: City Lights
(As always, click here for the set with all of my Singapore pictures.) This is going to be a bit of a random post, since yesterday was somewhat fragmented. So bear with me here. I've been trying to get better with using photo filters for a while, at least with my cameraphone. I like how they look on other people's pictures, but →
Singapore Trip Day 1: May 10 on 10, Singapore edition
Since this seems as good a place to pitch it as any (don't think I've mentioned it on here before) go vote for me for Best Local Blogger in the A-List competition on one of our local news stations. :-) I know I won't win, but it'd be fun to get some points on the board at least... ;-) Ok, so →
By the dawn’s early light
This past Saturday morning, I got up before sunrise and headed out to the Yolo Wildlife Area in hopes of getting some pics at least as good as these ones I took two years ago. Back then, I was using my Canon XTi and 100-300mm telephoto. This time, I was equipped with my 50D, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens, 2x teleconverter, →
Sitting by the dock of the bay
Eschewing my usual blog post format of "ramble ramble ramble picture" for a change, here's another shot from my trip to Washington this past May.
All sorts of autumn-y goodness
I've been keeping an eye on the trees for signs of fall color, but so far I'm only seeing bits and pieces here and there. I know though that any day now, I'm going to wake up and walk out of my front door, and the trees on my street will be red and orange and gold and glowing in →
I love Tower Bridge
(Pssst -- go to the main page of my blog and check out my new header pics, then leave a comment here letting me know what you think!) :-) One of Sacramento's more distinct landmarks is the lovely art deco Tower Bridge, which spans the Sacramento River and leads to the state Capitol building. While I've driven across it, I for →
Fun with filters, again
When I take pictures with my cameraphone, I generally open them up in PicSayPro, an image-editing app for Android phones (I have the Motorola Droid) and do a bit of adjusting, mostly for temperature/white balance and tint (my phone tends to take pictures a bit on the bluish/greenish side.) Given the fact that (a) it's a program on a cell →
Bookshelf at Borders
Books on the shelf at Borders. I read in a photography book that you're always ten meters from ten good pics. I found one. :-), originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I went to browse the photography books, and in one of them I read that you're always ten meters from ten good pics. So I started looking around. It wasn't easy--the →
Fun with my cameraphone and in-phone processing
I know I've been totally MIA lately with regards to this blog. I've been working on a HUGE report project for work, and I've routinely been putting in 14+ hour days. Yes, I'm getting paid extra for this--it's going in my trip fund for this summer. And it's an interesting project--frustrating, but challenging. I thought we were done a couple →
My niece, amused by the other baby in the window (her reflection.) :-)
My niece, amused by the other baby in the window (her reflection.) :-), originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. I took this yesterday on Christmas, when I was playing with my niece. I loved watching her fascination with the "other baby"--she was giving it big, sloppy kisses on the glass! I missed getting a picture of that, but at least I did →
