How do I do that?… Keep the roll in the box

Kevin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:23:34 +0000

Have you ever wondered why the roll comes out of the plastic wrap box every time you try to use it to wrap up those leftovers? You're not alone. I have wondered the same thing. But then I found these little push-in tabs on the ends of the box. It works! No more wrap on the floor for me!

Our genes are not our fate

While watching a TED talk last night I couldn't help but think of how it related to our new paleo lifestyle. It's way more than a diet. It's a way of life to enable us to live more healthy and have a longer, better quality of life. http://on.ted.com/AGmn#blog #paleo #grok +Allison Lemere

Practice like it's the real thing

Kevin — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:52:22 +0000

This shoot was for a magazine. The purpose was specific but the outcome was a little outside the boundaries of what they might be looking for… especially with this picture. Although it has great color, and a dramatic lighting effect it probably won't make it into the magazine for various reasons.

First, it lacks the layout-ability. I think I just made that word up. But really, it would be difficult to put this photo on a magazine with any of the other ones from the shoot because it is so different.

Second, it's not normal. What? Yeah, I said my photo is not normal. Hey, my photography is not normal. I like shooting different scenes, cool effects, and dramatic backgrounds. So what if I'm a little different right? I get some really neat photos by looking at things a little different sometimes.

This photo was taken with my backup camera, a Canon Rebel XSi. It's not my favorite anymore because the 60d stole my heart. However, the Rebel still holds its own as a second shooter camera and a backup.

How I did it: The sky was really bright so in order to tone it down I used the sweet 16 rule. I started at 100 ISO f16 1/100. However in order to bring in the right amount of light I had to quickly move up to an 800ISO while dropping the speed to 1/80 and choosing an f13. Add in some off camera flash to light up the subject and we have the appearance of a twilight setting.

Wow that's cool!

One of the coolest things about Google+ is the visibility of posts. I've posted a picture from my iPhone and then people on the west coast commented on it. That's really cool.

Now, if I could just get some FB friends over here. LOL. It's ok FB friends. For now I've decided to automate the posts from here to there so you can still follow me on the book and not miss a beat.

Well, it's been a long day and we've got inventory coming up at work so I'm going to say g'nite.
