Now on PhotoShelter

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 20:07:12 -0500

I have recently started posting some of my photos on the new PhotoShelter Collection website. The PS collection was recently launched and is trying to fill a middle ground between the micro-stock photo sites and the big named photo agencies. They are also trying to offer a comprehensive collection of the freshest editorialized photos online. You can view my current collection of stock photos available for sale on the PhotoShelter Collection website.

Published in FONZ Wildlife Adventures Magazine

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 21:05:39 -0500

A Cheetah photo I took at the National Zoo was recently published in the August/September 2007 issue of WILDLIFE Adventures. The Cheetah Conservation Station at the Smithsonian's National Zoo is the home to two adult female cheetahs and four males. This photo was used in conjunction with an article about the FONZ Photo club. I have been a member of the photo club for over a year.

New Website Design

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 20:58:48 -0500

I have done a soft launch of my new website design. There is still a great amount of work that needs to be done to the new design, but I'm starting to head in the right direction. I have also uploaded over 50 photos into the gallery from my recent trip to Montana in July.

Website Plans

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:42:05 -0500

Plans within plans are underway for the future of this website. I have been doing a great deal of thinking about this website and I'm close to figuring things out. One big change is that I will be moving this blog to a new location on this website, or another website entirely. So please stay tuned. In other unrealted news, I just learned that Siouxsie Sioux is coming out of retirement with a new album.

Siouxsie's new album is to be called "Mantaray" and is released on September 10th 2007, it features the new single "Into A Swan" (which is released digitally on 13th August and on CD, 7" and other formats on August 27th). [ more ]

Here is the first video from the new CD.

Here is another photo Infrared photo from the graveyard located next to the church photo from yesterday.

I found out where you can modify the CSS styles in the Flickr blog API and I'm giving it a try on this post.

Laytonsville Church in IR

Laytonsville Church in IR, originally uploaded by macmoov.

This photo was taken on my way home from the Rachel Carson Trail yesterday. The sun was just starting to set and the church spire was gleaming. I just had to stop and take a few shots from the parking lot.

I had the IR converted Canon 400D and took the shot above.

I'm also testing the Flickr blog posting API with this post as well. I have been thinking about doing a site redesign and moving the blog to another location on the site. If this Flickr API works, that means I will probably be posting more frequently.

Update: Well the Flickr API seemed to work ok. Some of the formating is a little funky and the EXIF tagging that I have built will not be filled out. However, most of the EXIF data is available up at Flickr via the photo link. I will leave this post as is and think about what I want to do going forward. I like the simplicity of the tool and it may allow me to post more frequently. It just means I would have to do a redesign.

American Goldfinch

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:21:20 -0500

This past weekend I purchased a bird identification book (Smithsonian Birds of North America) to help try and figure out all the birds I'm seeing in my backyard. We have been calling the American Robin's an Oriole and it took a long time for me to figure out that this bird was an American Goldfinch (Carduelis Tristis.) I have been calling it a goldfinch, but I didn't want to misidentify another bird again.

American Robin

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:55:34 -0500

During Easter week I built a bird blind out of PVC pipe and some camouflage netting. So I setup the blind before sunrise to photograph the birds that have been visiting our feeders. I was hoping to get some nice warm light from the sunrise, but it ended up being a gray morning and there were even some snow flurries that drove me back into the house to get warm. Here is a shot of an American Robin (Turdus Migratorius.) I wasn't that happy with many of the shots I received that morning, but I wanted to document my first attempts at backyard bird photography. I will post a few more over the next couple of days.
