My uncle pointed out a hummingbird nest out front today and in typical obsessive fashion I just had to get a decent shot of the little gal. Little being the operative word here. I don’t think she was more than 6″ in length. Shooting through the window produced less than desirable results so I headed [...]

And its downright cold. If you need to out side in Denver today take a Taun Taun to crawl inside of. You’re gonna need it!

I’ve been having fun just playing around with a single flash. This one is on the right track, but I blacked out the front a bit too much. I think with a little more fill up front this idea could be a winner.
This is a Blue Snowball microphone, in case you’re interested. The wife has [...]

And sticking to everything.
Also from today, an icicle from the tree and snow covered leaves.

I was hoping that some people would check out my pics of the 2009 Denver Zombie Crawl, but didn’t expect this. Yeah, for some on Flickr this is just another day, but for me this is huge! Thanks to all who have viewed, commented and favorited my images.

Too much fun. The only mishap of the night was the yahoo who decided to touch his (fake) bloody finger to the front element of my lens. I probably reacted a little strongly, but, hey, DON’T TOUCH YOUR STICKY HANDS ON MY CAMERA! ‘Kay? Good.
More photos on my Flickr Set.

The view from our temporary office space in the Newsgator offices in Downtown Denver.
There’s a few smudges on the window, but they don’t exactly open on the 25th floor, either

I got to head out and shoot a Porsche Club track day at High Plains Raceway a couple of weeks ago. I’ve finally got enough of the images up to call ‘em a set. But the one I like the best includes MY car
If you’re interested in seeing a lot of Porsches on [...]

Little niceties keep popping up in OS X 10.6, aka Snow Leopard. For example: its super easy now to tether a digital camera and use your Mac as a remote for the camera. Handy if you want to do a little live shooting action for whatever reason.
The secret lies in the Image Capture application that [...]

Lead singer Max Carl and guitarist Bruce Kulick (also of KISS fame) on stage at The Taste of Colorado. Some years they manage to bring in some interesting bands – we got to see Cheap Trick a few years ago. We’ll have to see if I can make it back on Monday night for Foghat!

Every year its not a matter of if we’ll get foxes in the neighborhood or not, its a matter of where they’ll be. This year we got a family of 2 adults and 4 young-uns just down the street from us.
I’ve seen one or two on occasion as the weather gets warmer, but recently they’ve [...]

The wife and I decided that we should finally follow through on getting matching wedding rings since we finally found a designer that we both really like. The designer is John Hardy and the rings are fantastic. Its significantly larger and heavier than my old one, but with much much more character. Much better than [...]

I want a Pentax K1000 or Canon AE1 but with a digital sensor. That’s about it. I want a manual control only camera with a digital sensor. Keep the cost down by keeping out all the fancy dancy features. Here’s the basic features I would like to see:
Manual Mode
Aperture Priority
Shutter Priority
Custom White Balance
PC flash sync [...]

The wife noticed a flash in a trash can in our alley and asked if it was mine… I said no and asked her to bring it to me. Someone had thrown away a poor ol’ Vivitar 283 Flash.
After a little cleanup he still has some paint on him, but not on the bulb, and [...]

Ok, so my beautiful wife is my best friend, but this is running a close second
I’ve actually had it for a few weeks now and just can’t get over it. I came into a little money and decided to treat myself to a new lens – a Canon EFS 10-22mm zoom lens with [...]

So, I finally broke down and joined Flickr. My account is under tehGipster.
I tried for a long time to resist and make my own gallery but 1) that never got done, 2) the service is just too damn good, and 3) I finally realized that I just don’t want to program that much any [...]

Snapped a few of Bear after playing for a while. He was quite pooped and that tongue seemed to have a mind of its own.

I had a chance to photograph my dad’s racing club this past weekend and had an absolute blast. It took me 2 days to edit down all the photos. I took more than 650. Its just so easy to do when shooting digital.
I’ve put together an Aperture gallery for those who are interested. Check it [...]

Its getting so nice out here in the evenings we can just spend some time enjoying doing nothing. And, of course, I can have the camera handy…
I’ve been struggling creatively lately so I figured 2 things can help. Just pick up the camera and use it, no matter what for, and just shoot everyday things [...]

I’m typically out the door at 6:30 or so in the morning to get to work at 7:15. I like that work schedule as it gets me home by 4:45 or so in the evenings.
One other benefit is the sunrises (which I haven’t been taking pictures of – dumbass!). They’re wonderful.
I do so love the [...]

It happened about 3 weeks ago now but I should probably post the pics anyway. I my father started racing a 1967 Porsche 912 and he had a race up here in Denver at the Second Creek Raceway – one of the last groups to get to run on that raceway before closing down.
I won’t [...]
