Geez, I thought I was done with shopping/research :)
Seems that once you have your background and lighting down pat the next step is better glass. Keep in mind when I originally purchased my camera I didn’t consider it might be necessary to upgrade the lens. I did understand I may need a different lens for landscape shots for instance.
Through this process I’ve come across various sites that show images from one end to the other of the range of a particular lens. I’...

Hello fellow woodworkers,
I have enjoyed looking at all of the excellent projects displayed on LJ. They inspire designs and urge me to make that next piece even even more challenging. All these project are shown to the world via pictures. A picture is your way of expressing the time and effort you have spent on a piece. It is important to take time on the composition and setup of your picture taking to optimize the quality of your pictures. After all, you have spent countless hours wo...

Here is a photo tour (as promised) of our shop in Santa Cruz, “Drew’s Used Tools.” I just thought you might have fun looking.
Drew’s Used Tools is a small, locally owned tool store which buys, sells, and trades new and used tools. Currently there are only three of us working here including Drew. The other two are me and Bryce.
Due to the nature of our business, our “inventory” is constantly changing because we mostly just have whatever people bring us. It’s always fun to see what’s new ...

Cabin Renovation and Progress
....and so I continue on today with some shots of an outside//inside wood project, that has been eating up some of my time.
Time delays….running with the after-effects of projected numbers on sheets of paper, that can never catch up to the reality of why is this not done….yet!
I am not interested in excuses for delay;I am interested only in a thing done.—-Jawaharial Hehru
So put some warm clothes on….hope you remembered to brin...

I recently invested about $40 bucks on a large sheet of black velvet from the fabric store for a photo background. I just wanted people to know that It is easy to take great display photos with a small investment.
Any black material would work well, including less expensive felt or cotton. Even a sheet would be fine. I splurged for the velvet because my wife decided she could use it for taking pictures of jewelry she makes as well.
Just lay the velvet over your couch and give it good di...

Designer’s Evolution at having Livid Imagination
What happens when the door is opened and ‘livid imagination’ meets the powers that are written in wood?
....these are the thoughts that transform my desire for design, much as the stretching of an old wineskin when new wine is poured in, and as my horizon is gone to vertical mode of jacob’s latter, i am culled out to release some jewels of what amasses within my head….

Etchings That Come From Wood
....and so twas at the closure of an-other day, while out walking my feet in forests of green, that the clomp-clomp mistaken plop-plop of rattled brain fraze, was awakened by the desire before my eyes of one such as you….
—-where i was coming from was of no-consequence before your ire, and that you had called to lead me here was now understood, since your trunk of structure gave me soundings of the rage, that was gathered inside your wood of stee...

What I Need Comes by Way of Wood
….from where i sit, the woods give grace, in the light of coming day-space, where off in the distance,
....there walks one who cannot come back….
—-ah yes, what is to be the conflict, of this one shaped as a mis-fit, dis-in-tangled from the society of structure,
....and walking now by sound of ‘deep calling unto deep’....
Long were the ages of past, when the ancients of old, gave forth the tales we are told, and so...
