The (Other) End of the Internet

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I recalled reading something not terribly long ago which suggested that if you could take a telephoto lens and attach it to the camera backwards it would make a great Macro lens - good for close-up shots. Today I tried […]

I got some more email from those guys with the photo “contest”. The email I got about my flower picture
in case you missed it, here it is.
The latest email from these people about this picture says

Dear Thriell,
Not long ago, our Editors reviewed the thousands of submissions entered in our International Open Amateur […]

Remember about three weeks ago when I came up with My Master Plan for a certain online photo contest? It’s going exactly as I predicted.
My idea was to pick a truly awful picture to submit and see if it got the same raves as the “okay” picture I submitted the previous month. Here’s the picture […]

Yesterday I took Daughter Number Two and went to a local graveyard to take some pictures. Maybe I’m just morbid, but I think old tombstones make for great pictures. Along the way, however, I made a really stupid mistake and now I’m going to post it here so the whole world knows what a stupid […]

Again, I suddenly realized that it’s been over a week since I posted anything here. Honestly, I’m not as derelict in my duties as it might seem. First off, I’ve been devoting more time to my other blog, One Man’s Focus. While I know people who don’t seem to have a problem keeping up with […]

I was complaining talking to my brother about the recent problem that’s developed with my vision. I’ve said that it looks like there’s a thumb print on my glasses and that’s a fairly accurate description, but I kept having this nagging urge to come up with a better description.
This post is that description. They say […]

After helping my wife with a video project she was working on, I’m going to have to admit that I’m a little bit hooked. The video we put together was filmed with my Canon Powershot camera in the form of several small clips which were pasted together with Windows’ Movie Maker.
What I’d really like to […]

I spent a good part of this morning working on setting up another blog I intend to start maintaining. I’m not going to give out it’s name or URL yet because at the moment there’s nothing there.
This new blog is going to be specifically about cameras, camera accessories, and photography. My wife found a wordpress […]

I know, the picture I’m about to direct you to is a little on the old side, but it just now circulated to this end of the internet, so there.
Anyway, here is a poto of some model from some catalog - Look closely at her shoulder!
