Is there something scary about big cameras?
Posted August 21st, 2008 by Some Random NerdA few weeks ago, I went to see Radiohead playing at Victoria Park in London. As I tend to do when I go to see something that I think might be interesting, I took my camera along.
As I went through the security check, I was told that I wouldn't be allowed to take my camera out once I was inside the arena- especially with my zoom lens. Apparently "small" cameras and mobile phones with built-in cameras are fine, but "big" cameras are forbidden.
RAW versus my hard drives.
Posted May 25th, 2008 by Some Random NerdI came across this article on Wired about the RAW picture format.
If you don't know what RAW means (and are too lazy to click on the link), it's a picture format that some cameras can use that basically means that you're capturing everything that the camera's sensor is recording.
Lights... Camera... Action! (At last! Action… Part 1)
Posted March 8th, 2008 by Some Random NerdOK, so enough rambling- time for some "action".
As this is supposed to be a record of me and my wife learning how to take good photos, I think the best way to fill the "action!" part of this introduction would be to show some pictures that we've taken.
