Eye-Fi works … sort of

17 May

It works! Kind of!
Effort­lessly uploaded by Eye-Fi

The new Eye-Fi card will take pho­tos in my Nikon D200, how­ever it won’t wire­lessly upload. Turns out the com­pany doesn’t sup­port adapter cards. But, all is not lost. I popped the SD card in our Canon Dig­i­tal Elph and it imme­di­ately uploaded all images to Flickr and my lap­top wire­less — and fast! How cool is that? Looks like I’m going to try and sell my D200 and buy an SD-card based Nikon DSLR in the future!

 

Running again!

28 Mar

Self por­trait: On the run Sept.15, 2008 in Seoul, Korea.

With Spring comes moti­va­tion. I’m run­ning two miles a day again. In recent years, injuries have plagued my best inten­tions. Espe­cially this past year, I’ve been gain­ing weight and becom­ing com­pla­cent. So far this sea­son, my feet are hold­ing up. We’ll see! As for now, I’m headed for the door and another run!

Labor Day 2009

06 Sep

Labor Day 2009

This is a self por­trait from my daily 365 project in 2009. We went camp­ing near Chun­cheon, east of Seoul, over Labor Day Week­end. This is a 30-second expo­sure on my tri­pod. It was very dark, but the long expo­sure and rear-flash set­ting at the end of the expo­sure makes it decep­tively bright!

 
 

Studio Shot

Day 221 of 365

Just time for a quick stu­dio shot with a bit of Adobe Light­room post-processing! We did the oblig­a­tory PX/Commissary run with lunch at Burger King. I took CJ swim­ming while Mom and Patrick napped. Relax­ing Sun­day here!

 
 

Jeju Trip Day Three

13 Jul

Jeju Trip Day Three

What a blast! Jen­nifer and I hit the dirt trail on ATVs for an awe­some morn­ing. I should have left the cam­era behind! It kept pound­ing my wrist! But I’m glad I got this shot. We flew to the Island of Jeju far south from South Korea. The island is a trop­i­cal par­adise and the site of many hon­ey­moons and vaca­tions. We are cel­e­brat­ing our 8th wed­ding anniversary!

 
 

Would someone please tell me…

07 Jun

… where the escape key it?  Many peo­ple ask if this is Pho­to­shop. Well, no it’s not! I first took a stu­dio snap of myself with my hands in the air look­ing off to the right. I saved that image as the back­ground on the new iMac. The rest is light­ing. Actu­ally, I took mul­ti­ple shots with the cam­era on a tri­pod. Each shot I moved the flash off cam­era to high­light dif­fer­ent parts of the scene. Here’s where I used Pho­to­shop! I blended the result­ing shots into one! And when I was done, I drank the beer!

 
 

River Run

26 May

Day 139 of 365: River Run

Tonight after work I hit the river run again. This time I ran to Hangang Bridge and back to our apart­ment. That’s an easy 5K and it took me 40 min­utes. I’m no speed demon, that’s for sure. My right foot has been com­plain­ing from all the run­ning, but I’m try­ing to work through the pain and keep the momen­tum going for my sum­mer run­ning sea­son. Note: to take this photo, I set the cam­era up on a mini­tri­pod, framed the shot and pressed the shut­ter. It has a 10-second timer, so I ran down, did a U-turn and ran into frame. It’s fast and easy! Army Strong! :)

It’s Magic!

It's Magic!
It’s been a year since I did this Pho­to­shop project and peo­ple still ask how I did it. C’mon! It’s magic! The orig­i­nal was against a white wall. This is remas­tered with a tex­ture cour­tesy Paul Grand.
