Posted at 4:41 am | Filed Under General, Photos

Well with the whole sRGB and Adobe RGB fiasco behind me and sorted, I need to come to a decision of how to manage photos online.  Currently I use flickr pro account and smugmug basic account.  At the moment, I like to use flickr for displaying pictures and using smugmug for storage and prints.  I also [...]

sRGB, Adobe RGB, What a Headache…

Posted at 5:59 am | Filed Under General

sRGB hit me like a truck the other day when I was comparing pictures from Smugmug to Flickr, I stumbled upon this by total accident and all I can say is doh. Notice, don’t mind the different sizes as that don’t make a difference: Smugmug: Flickr: So what happened to the Flickr photo to look [...]

Shocking: Facebook Education! OMG!

Posted at 12:18 am | Filed Under General, Windows World

I just cringe when I log into my facebook account and see my Wall full of stuff people Liked.  It didn’t take long for people to discover that facebook users will click the Like button on a page if you post something that strikes their curiosity.  All they have to do is setup the malicous [...]

I Just Want a Simple Tv

Posted at 4:00 am | Filed Under General

TV is getting complicated.  We got a new tv here at the office as our old one died and if you ask me, it’s complete rubbish.  When you flip through the channels it has now 2 channels of each channel, an analog one and a digital one.  I didn’t have this before, so why do [...]

August Delivers the Heat

Posted at 3:23 am | Filed Under General, Photos

Seems like August never disappoints when it comes to heat.  Today we hit 34C and some areas even higher.  The wind was calm and with 65% humidity, it made for a balmy day.   It’s just so weird when the wind speed is like zero, the air was just thick.  I like the heat, but the [...]

Tornadic Storm

Posted at 2:26 am | Filed Under General

I got my new webcam just in time to record a tornadic storm rolling through the area.  It was a very hot and humid day.  I don’t think I have ever experienced such humidity before.  I was out trying to take some photos of the lightening, but the skeeters were just hungry and I couldn’t [...]

Rough Start to July

Posted at 4:49 am | Filed Under General

Last week my allergies went out of control and I choose to try and wait it out and of course when you try to avoid the doctor for help is when you get yourself into trouble.  Developing infection on top of it was a lesson to learn.  I was so out of it last week [...]

1/2 Way Through

Posted at 3:55 am | Filed Under General, Photos

Can you believe that we are 1/2 way through 2010 already?  I’m hoping July will bring in better weather and we can actually get a summer.  Yesterday was our first day of any real heat and it shot up to 90 degrees, which is like 30 degrees higher than we are use to, kind of [...]

Crashing In

Posted at 4:09 am | Filed Under General

It feels like ages since I have picked up the camera and went out for a walk.  A break in the rain came along and instead of mowing I jumped into the truck  and head out to a location I hadn’t been to in many years.  I would of enjoyed it more if I would [...]

Firsts of the Year

Posted at 7:52 pm | Filed Under General, Photos

Tried out a ring light experiment this past weekend with Ally.  Ring light is pretty cool effect on the eyes for a catch light.  I did a DIY ring light thanks to a post I came across on the photocamel forum.  It was really easy to build.  Basically 8 bulbs in a circle with a [...]

Hitting a Lull

Posted at 5:10 am | Filed Under General, Photos

I would love to bring back April again.  May just hasn’t gone any where, but rain and cold.  I’ve lost so much motivation and feel like I have just taken a giant step backwards with progression.  It shouldn’t take so much energy to get up and going.  I finally got myself to go out last [...]

Early Spring

Posted at 5:11 am | Filed Under General

It’s been a long time since I can remember a spring where it has been nice on Darwin’s birthday.  Normally we are still waiting for the snow to melt out of the yard.  This year the farmers have already been seeding and we are in need of some rain to settle down the dust.  Each [...]

Time and Changes

Posted at 4:35 am | Filed Under General

This is the same creek I shot a couple of blog posts ago and the snow is now gone.  There is still snow laying around and everything is pretty drab yet.  Weather wise it seems to feel like we are a month off.  It seems like April has been more of March type weather.  March [...]

Spring!

Posted at 3:36 am | Filed Under General

Spring is arriving early here in North Dakota and the sun has finally came back out after 2-3 weeks of foggy weather.  It’s so exciting to see the sun again and it really boosts the energy level up to get outside.  The problem with being outside is the mud and water.  The good part is [...]

My Dream

Larger Version Tonight, this is my dream where I come out of the cold shadows and enter up into the light.  Each step I take I can feel the heat from the light warming my skin and the most calming feeling begins to flood my body.  I can not see clearly what will be waiting [...]

Last weekend I did something that I haven’t done in a very long time.  I drove down to Bismarck, ND and met up with a wonderful gal that I have been chatting to since end of December.  It felt great to get out of the area and to have fun.  The first thing we did [...]

Mother Nature needs to take a nap

Posted at 3:34 am | Filed Under General, Photos

The snow just keeps coming and coming.  It seems like mother nature is getting a nasty habit of rolling in bad weather for the weekends and making getting to and from events a mess for many.  Hockey season is in full motion and a lot of our games are away games, so it’s making it [...]
