Shooting with the opposite eye

Saturday night while Photowalking Washtington Street in Hoboken I was thinking about how most photographers, maybe even all photographers get so comfortable with the shooting style that they never switch it up.  For example, I am a lefty who had to learn to shoot as a righty since all cameras are basically for right handers.  [...]

Last night I decided to make a pinhole body cap for my Nikon D700′s.  I used the smallest drill bit I have instead of an actual pin but it works.  My fstop came out to 50 which is a bit larger than a 250 fstop pin but it’ll do.  It’s late and cold outside so [...]

Why I really don’t like the new iMovie

iMovie with simple timeline

I’m not a video person but I like messing with it. I have always enjoyed playing with iMovie but in 2008 they redesigned it. In 2009 they thought they made it user friendly again but they really didn’t. It’s the same layout and missing the best feature iMovie had. The simple timeline! You may say, [...]

LoveHelvetica.com

So you have to use Helvetica.” – Erik Spiekermann This quote says explains it all so beautifully.  Helvetica is one of of the most widely used fonts in the world.  You do in fact see it every single day.  Graham Smith [...]
