I love Budapest at night
Liberty Bridge., originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. This isn’t my Day 32 post, by the way. I’m working on that. This is just a lovely shot of the Liberty Bridge and the Danube River, with the Gellert Hotel in the background. It was a lovely evening yesterday. :-)
Euro Trip Day 4: See that “no photography” sign? I’m pretending I didn’t.
Let me preface this post by saying that I don’t expect everyone to have a huge level of technical expertise when it comes to photography. I really don’t. Honest. But for the love of pete, if you don’t learn ANYTHING else about how to operate your camera, PLEASE PLEASE learn how to shut off the [...]
Trying out a new lens on my living room
Because I like to play, I opted to rent a wide-angle lens to take to Rome, as I don’t own one, and I remember feeling frustrated in London with lots of large buildings and things that I couldn’t fit entirely in my lens. You might remember last spring when I rented Canon’s 10-22mm lens, and [...]
Out of season

Wide angle lens fun day 5: Able to capture whole murals in a single shot
For an idea of how big this mural is, look at the parking spaces in front of it. For an idea of how far away I was standing, look at the parking spaces in front of it. The answer is in the picture’s caption. . 100 degree field of view, baby!! .
More snowboarding pictures
Here are some more pictures from the ones I took on Saturday at Sierra-at-Tahoe. After spending pretty much the full day (and taking over 700 pictures) I’ve decided that I can safely strike “professional snow sports photographer” off of my list of potential careers. I spent most of the day crouched/lying in the snow with [...]
Wide angle fun, day 4: Haunted house
Last Halloween I was wandering around town looking for Halloween-themed pictures for an October photo challenge when I stumbled upon a really creepy-looking house several blocks from where I live. I snapped some pictures which I posted to my Flickr but later decided not to use, but then I promptly forgot about it until a [...]
Wide angle fun, day 3: The skate park
Yesterday after work I wandered a few blocks over from my house to a skate park that’s in an old warehouse. It’s right on the way I take to the river, so I’ve noticed it before, but I’ve never actually stopped to check it out. I figured that in preparation for Saturday’s upcoming funness that [...]

Wide angle fun, day 1: Inside my house
For the next two weeks, I’m renting a Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens from LensRentals.com. I’m doing this for a couple of reasons. First, a friend of mine told me that I need to quit focusing in on details of stuff and try zooming out and looking at the big picture for a change. I [...]
