From Instagram (follow me if you'd like - I'm "iacas"), this shot was from the seat of my puddlejumper on the PHI-ERI flight. It will be great to sleep in my bed again tonight.

From Instagram (follow me if you'd like - I'm "iacas"), this was shot on the Watson range at Reunion Resort. Beau Rials was there. Good guy, and whether you know it or not, you've probably seen him in several infomercials. We were fit for wedges, hit some of our new irons (still to be made), [...]

From Instagram (follow me if you'd like - I'm "iacas"), this shot was from the back of our house at Reunion resort as I sat by the pool. The picture is from a different day, as will most of the rest of the images. I'm backfilling.

From Instagram (follow me if you'd like - I'm "iacas"), this shot was from the back of our house in an unfinished sub-development looking out over one of the courses (Nicklaus, I think) at Reunion resort. The foreground is mostly dirt with a few scrubby brushes and weeds, a reality nicely masked by whatever filter [...]

A few weeks ago, I picked up an olloclip. It's a three-in-one camera lens attachment for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. I've been impressed with the quality of the iPhone 4S cameras, so I jumped at the chance to try out the olloclip. The olloclip is a small attachment made of lightweight aluminum, reasonable [...]

Sweet! Adjustments made to your phone are imported into Aperture as adjustments which can be undone! Still, the age-old advice still applies: get it right "in the camera."

Oftentimes I'll go back to a site I "designed" or helped to design months later and think "blech, that's terrible." Not so with DSLRU: http://nslog.com/imgs/dslru_screenshot_1.png http://nslog.com/imgs/dslru_screenshot_2.png Now I'm not saying these things are winning any awards or blowing anyone away, but they're well crafted, solid designs that I appreciate to this day. It'll be a [...]

Josh has a nice writeup on why DSLRU failed. The site and all of the code and intellectual property behind it remains available for a sale. Someone would do well to pick it up fairly inexpensively.

Some links on the Maisel/Baio thing that's been talked about lately. http://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/ http://duncandavidson.com/blog/2011/06/maisel_vs_baio http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2011/06/kind-of-screwed.html http://john-mccoy.blogspot.com/2011/06/sound-of-money.html I think Maisel had a right - perhaps "artist to artist" - to ask that the cover be pulled. But that's about it. The $32k? Puh-lease. Going way too far there. IANAL, and I did read some things about "derivative" [...]

I really recommend you check out one or both… And spread the word. If you'd like to publish an article for sale (or free!) on DSLRU, we'd be happy to talk to you about it! Using Beauty Dishes http://dslru.com/courses/S2003 While light modifiers like umbrella lights produce a soft light that can make anyone look good, [...]

A friend passed along this really nice display of photos, called "Window Seat." They're photos taken from - you guessed it - the window seat of airplanes. Some of them are quite amazing. In this day and age I sometimes feel odd about taking out my camera on a plane - particularly during takeoff and [...]

We've posted a new - and free - course at DSLRU covering the hot topic of High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography. The course is available at http://dslru.com/courses/D1004 along with ten other courses, all priced free or inexpensively. Don't forget, too, that you can enter DSLRU's launch contest to win free software from Nik. Registration at [...]

Today we drove to Pittsburgh and spent the morning checking out the birds at the National Aviary. The aviary is quite small - you could walk through the entire thing in five minutes - but the proximity to the birds is incredible. I shot the below image - a sea eagle - from only a [...]

http://dslru.com/ - the "DSLR University" - is now open. The site is free, has a free forum and blog, and several free classes. Other classes are available for as little as $0.99. Drop by, sign up, post in the forum, and peruse some of the classes. It's been a long time coming, but it's here [...]

Yes, please.
