December 2008

I’ve been toying with purchasing the MicroTrack ever since 2006, but I never did, due to the price. Yesterday, however, I received an e-mail from B&H, with an offer I just couldn’t turn down. The price was right, the time was right, so I bought it! I can’t wait to start recording audio to accompaniment my photos.

I wanted to share an episode from one of my favorite photography podcasts, LensWork. The episode is entited “The Myth of Tonal Control”.

Why do I like LensWork? Because each episode is informative, thought provoking, and short. (<10min) If you like what you hear, why not subscribe, it’s free after all.

Zoom lenses are very convenient, but boy do the primes shine at times!

The Microtrack performed fairly well, but the cold sure ate up the battery! Click the link below to hear a short sample from one of the recordings:

On December 21st & 22nd, I took around 1,400 photos in Cleveland, TN at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge. It was very, very cold, (single digits) and windy, but well worth it!

And after a few days of work, I’ve filtered down the photos to 25. This was not an easy task, as there were lots of great photos, but I feel it’s better to share the best, rather than hundreds of “average” photos.

Few are interested or smart enough to study these fields anymore, and the people who are intelligent are apparently labeled "terrorists".
