Nikkor 24mm tilt-shift lens
Nikon has announced new products including a D60 DSLR as a follow-up to the popular D40X. Interesting to a smaller segment of the population is the addition of a 24mm Perspective Control lens. Canon has had one of these for some time while Nikon only offered an 85mm PC lens.
Perspective control, or tilt-shift, lenses have [...]
New Ireland gallery
I’m trying to get a new gallery posted to my new website every week to get some content built up. This week is Ireland. The photos come from 2002 — the last international trip I made before moving to digital. The shot above comes from a frosty morning overlooking Killarney.
I still remember going through airport [...]
When I visited Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, a little over a year ago it was stunningly isolated. Just a few thousand people lived on the island, mostly in the one small town of Hanga Roa. Groceries were purchased in a small garage-like building on a brick street and there were only a handful of [...]
Coastline
Today I’m posting a photo that’s been a favorite of mine for quite a while. For me, “favorite” shots are not the shots that I think are my “best” but sometimes they are just photos that put me back in a place I love. This is one of those. I took it a few years [...]
MacBook Air
There you have it. The new MacBook Air from Apple — the world’s thinnest notebook computer. It’s an achievement for sure but I don’t think I need to place my order today. Thin is great — light is even better — but I’d really like small. I would like Apple to make something like Fujitsu’s [...]
Twas the night before Macworld
Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year: the Macworld keynote. The end of all the speculation on the rumor sites about what Steve Jobs will unleash next. Last year the iPhone. This year? Will it be the MacBook Air? We’ll soon find out.
Until then, I have this news from the BBC and [...]
Polaroid’s portable printer
Polaroid has a new portable printer coming out that looks interesting. The Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer (really, guys… couldn’t come up with a catchier name?) uses ZINK, or “zero ink”, technology where the dyes are embedded in the paper. At less than 3″ x 5″ and no more than an inch thick it would [...]
Change
Think of that bus as the new year screaming past. The first week of 2008 is nearly behind us and there are only 51 more to go. Time truly does fly.
It looks like the theme of my 2008 will be change. I know, everyone is talking about change these days — especially politicians — but [...]
Korea, batteries & kinnearing
I’m still tinkering away at my new website. Today I’ve added the first gallery to the images section. I chose to start with a gallery of photos I took in South Korea and will be adding others soon. This one is a multimedia slideshow but others will be more traditional image galleries so that there [...]
