Honestly, I could do what every other person does. I can go to the grocery store and by those “fun size” bagfuls of candies, sit by my door, and wait for the costumed little trick-or-treaters to arrive and shout ‘TRICK OR TREAT” and then I hand off the candies. Lather, rinse, repeat. Not this year.…

For those who are having trouble viewing my stereoscopy photos…

So in the interests of helping you see the stereoscopic view without having to relax your eyes or cause you a headache-inducing brain bang … Here’s some of my shots…
Read MoreYou are not ready for JOT the Dot.
While Saturday morning cartoons were the best way to survive the weekend – a nice big bowl of Froot Loops and 4 1/2 hours of animation while your parents slept – Sunday morning children’s fare was kinda hit and miss. I shall explain. In many cases, Sunday morning cartoon shows were essentially either Saturday morning…

So I fixed an issue from last Saturday’s stereoscopy experiments. I thought I had both of my Nikon Df cameras perfectly calibrated. Nope. The Silver Df was set for sunshine white balance, while the Black Df, for some reason, was tuned to a Kelvin white balance. Which makes sense, I think the last time I…

Okay. No going back now. I’ve got everything lined up. My dual Nikon Df setup, along with two matching Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D “Nifty Fifty” lenses. And all I need to do is find a suitable subject or subjects to photograph. You know what? I bet the fall foliage looks swank in Clinton this time of…

One stitch left. One final pull of dark cornflower yarn into this massive rug. Background. Earlier this year, I had planned to produce a latch hook rug of one of my photographs, my shot of the Quechee Covered Bridge in Vermont. The problem was, however … I started the project and hooked in the wrong…

And it looks like my travels will include at least…
Read MoreAnd in the end … I went silver.
Some time ago, I postulated the option of either getting a second Nikon Df camera, or ditching my current Df and going for a pair of Nikon Zfc mirrorless cameras. The idea behind this postulation was to go full-bore into three-dimensional stereoscopic photography, whether it involved creating custom View-Master reels, or standalone Holmes Stereo cards…
