Light is something that is Relative

Just how many of them are there?
March 17, 2012
Have you ever looked at an image or movie, and then wondered how many people are there really there when several are the same person? That is a little of what we will cover today: multiple exposure. There are two types of multiple exposure, in camera and out of camera. With today’s digital cameras, it […]

March 17, 2012
Have you ever been in a night club and everything just glowed really bright from the black lights? Have you ever thought about doing photographs with a similar effect on people or another subject? How about with paint? UV photography or black light photography requires only two things: a) a black light to shine on […]
Studio Strobe triggering issues with ETTL
January 23, 2012
Earlier today, in one of the closed discussion groups for photographers, one of my local friends posed a problem that he was getting random exposures when he used his flash to trigger the strobes. Somehow, he was able to set the camera manually and balance this with the strobes. The effect was as if the […]
Studio Lighting
January 14, 2012
Everyone hears that they need many lights and a whole lot of light modifiers from soft boxes, barn doors, gel holders, and a lot of other things to be a good photographer.

We have covered quite a bit in this series of entries. In this entry, we will cover one more way of softening your flash or making it less obtrusive and then we cover something that is the meat of using a flash. One more way to make flash less obnoxious is through filter gels. Two […]

In what seems like a previous life, I have worked on computing technologies such as CADD (you see your UPS driver using the system), the Internet (various projects), various custom accounting packages on CP/M-DOS-MacOS-Windows-UNIX-Linux, medical imaging technologies (PET, CT, MRI, Etc. in clinical and preclinical trials), and several engineering applications of computing technology. I was a consultant and worked at three startup companies (FC Business systems, Fielding Enterprises, Technology Advancement Group) and other organizations as a consultant. I also have a small stint being trained in rescue including a few years of experience.
In my spare time (when I had some), I sketch with graphite and charchoal. I also create heirloom jewelry for my wife and certain other special people in my family and for close friends.
