Having finally found the “correct” camera calibration, I’ve now reimported my entire library back into Lightroom and have begun processing again. I’ve now posted some of the remaining pictures from Curaçao which have been waiting since last year. Maybe, by the time it’s time to leave for this year’s dive trip, I’ll have last year’s pictures [...]

Last week, I received my Ikelite case for the Canon G9. This case is brand new. So new, in fact, that I am probably one of the first people to get one. I bet that even the underwater photography product reviewers got theirs no faster than I. It was released on October 17th and in [...]

Be warned: some technical information follows… So – in the previous posting, you learned: That TIFF is the “master” of all digital formats – all RAW and DNG formats are really just tweaked TIFF. That Lightroom applies “wild guesses” of what they [Adobe] think the RAW images should look like. That the “wild guesses” Lightroom [...]

Now that we’re back from our all-too-brief vacation, I’m back at work. Luckilly, I’m not working the crazy schedule anymore. Things have slowed down considerably. For that I’m grateful. Of course, that means that I need to spend some time on the things that slide when I’m working too much: like organizing my office, posting [...]

Today, Laura and I head out to Massanutten, VA. We’ve never been out there, but it should be fun. It will certainly be COOL since a massive cold front has blown in taking us down from the low 90s to the 50s or 60s. It is actually begining to be a little like fall. We’re [...]

With the upcoming arrival of the new camera, we will begin our next attempt at underwater photography. We have tried this mulitple times with two different cameras so far, but with one setup: a pocket digital camera and an underwater housing. We have not yet tried it with a strobe. This picture illustrates what a [...]

We’re going to try out a new underwater camera: the Canon G9. We were planning on renting a housing for Laura’s Rebel XTi, but found out that for the same price as the rental [or perhaps a little more], we could BUY a great quality pocket camera. So we started looking… Looking at the old [...]

This weekend, we did another wedding. This time, we were the “only” photographers [there were a lot of family and friends with their own cameras]. We had very little time to prepare as we were only asked to do it a few days in advance and didn’t even have a chance to discuss what was [...]

It’s official now. No Dive Turkey this year. So, Laura and I will be going on our own little jaunt to Los Cabos in Mexico. This is our first venture to the Pacific coast of Mexico and the Baja. It’s certainly possible that we could see some large sealife – even up to the Whale [...]
