Remiss
I’ve mostly focused on posting at the Photoblog lately.
(First time visitors, take note… that’s where most of the focus shall continue. A site about photography ain’t right without photos. If you want keen insights into the whys and wherefores of photographic gadgetry, Ken Rockwell, Rob Galbraith or Moose Peterson are better bets than li’l ole me. If you’ve found me, then you can surely find them.)
I feel remiss, however, in not catching up a couple of things.
1) Sorry about the lack of Fuji F10 pictures here. There are a couple at the Photoblog. It’s a fine enough camera for casuals, but not enough to displace even the venerable D2H. A couple of notes:
- Battery life is fantastic, as advertised & reviewed.
- The big selling point of this camera, the ISO1600 mode, works well enough. I’ve gotten usable shots in very low light.
- That said, this camera needs a very steady hand, especially when zoomed. And I’m not talking about digital zoom, either. Just using the 3x optical at maximum, I have a hard time getting shots that don’t blur. I readily confess that I am completely spoiled by the majick of dSLR in this regard.
2) Alaska is a photographer’s paradise.
3) Dammit, I need to shoot more. My wife really doesn’t have the quantity versus quality problem that I have. She’ll try anything to see if it will work, and I’m still too far restrained in what I think will and won’t work. “Education” can really hold you back sometimes. I focus far too much on “the perfect subject” in “the perfect light.”
Well, after having registered this domain late last year in order to provide some sort of homepage where I could talk photography, I’ve finally gotten around to it. You’re looking at the text end here. This may stay, and it may not.
