  • Havin’ a ball

    Some­times it great just to kick back and play ball with the dogs. Espe­cially when it’s ‑20 some­thing out­side and the little Daschunds just don’t enjoy play­ing out­side. Yes, they like their squeaky balls. As you can tell, I’ve been play­ing with pho­tos in my iPad Dark­room. This shot was taken with my Panason­ic FZ-30,…

  • When is an iPad not an iPad?

    Ok, per­haps it is actu­ally “magic­al and revolu­tion­ary”. Or per­haps we’re just mov­ing toward the day that yes, there really is an app for that. Smart phones and tab­let com­puters are set to explode this year, but what will really move the hard­ware is innov­at­ive soft­ware cre­ated by developers who can see bey­ond the tra­di­tion­al fare…

  • Revisiting an old friend

    It’s a new year, so the slate is clean and there’s lots of new things to try. Or old things that dropped off the radar to revisit. In my case, it’s pho­to­graphy and image pro­cessing. I used to enjoy work­ing in a wet dark­room and watch­ing images mater­i­al­ize on paper. That was years and many…

  • 3 Awesome Photo apps for your iPad

    Now I know what you're thinking -- Brad, the iPad doesn't have a camera so why would I want photography apps on it. Well, because the iPad is portable, has a great screen that presents photos better than any other mobile device, and lets you d...

  • Kodak All-in-One is awesome asset in the digital darkroom

    “Man that sucker’s huge”, was my first thought as I unboxed Kodak’s new flag­ship All-In-One photo print­er. But that stands to reas­on, as the Kodak ESP 9250 All-in One Print­er (hence­forth known as ‘the 9250’ or ‘Kodak Unit’), does a lot more than just print. And that’s why it’s so hard to write about these Swiss…

  • Engine Start

    Little bit of crop­ping, little bit of col­our pro­cessing, little bit of Tilt Shift. All done on the iPad. I used Cam­era­Bag, Tilt­Shift­Gen, and PhotoPal. Fun with iOS apps 😉

  • Christmas Lego

    Just anoth­er excuse to take some pho­tos of a couple of Christ­mas lego con­struc­tions. Simple layout: Drape a bright red scarf as a seam­less background Pos­i­tion Lego object Shoot with the zoom racked in to telephoto Off­load image to the iPad Pro­cess / crop with Instragram Upload to Flickr Blog about it 🙂

  • Personal Indulgance: Airplanes and Photography

    Earli­er this week I found a rather cool web­site that com­bines two of my interests; pho­to­graphy and aviation. YouLikeAirplanesToo.com is a simple little Tumblr blog that pro­files inter­est­ing avi­ation photography. It’s clean, almost sparse, giv­ing all the atten­tion to the images. Which I appre­ci­ate. Maybe you will too!

  • Exactly 1 week ago today [slideshow]

    Exactly one week ago today we were enjoy­ing our last day on Maui, by snorkeling. By our rough count, we man­aged to get in and under the water about every oth­er day — which is pretty good for a prair­ie boy. So, to revis­it the exper­i­ence today seemed a bit appropo, with a slideshow of all…

  • Point and shoot — and hope you captured your subject

    Yes, this is anoth­er post about some cool tech that I took trav­el­ling with me on a recent vaca­tion to Maui. And yes, again I’m talk­ing about the Panason­ic DMC-TS2, a nifty point-and-shoot cam­era that I fell in love with in a pre­vi­ous post. This time, I’m going to talk about tak­ing the unit under…

  • I think I’m in love with a point-and-shoot camera

    If you’ve been fol­low­ing my recent flickr image posts, you’ll know that I’m not freez­ing and endur­ing the spring snow that’s hit the Alberta prair­ies. Rather, I’m bask­ing and bak­ing in the sunny trop­ic­al para­dise that is Maui, Hawaii. …more This post is an excerpt from one of my weekly posts on the Future Shop…

  • Adobe makes magic — CS5 Content Aware Fill

    I could describe it, but it’s much easi­er to watch the video below and con­sider the possibilities. This is likely the one good reas­on for me to upgrade my CS suite 🙂
