Ammo in the armaments

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:30:26 PDT

Last night the DALPUG (Denver Area Lightroom Users Group) had their bi-monthly meeting and host Brian Reyman walked us through some of the features of the Lightroom 3 Beta. It was a gret seminar and offered an opportunity for many to get an idea of what to expect. I had not realized that there are [...]

Building the Perfect Camera, Pt. 1

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:30:47 PDT

One of the more recent episodes from the guys over at This Week in Photography had them wrapping up their coverage of PMA, where they talked tech about all the latest cameras to come out from the various vendors. Canon was noticeably absent from the show, but it didn’t detract from an interesting comment I [...]

Borders and Logos, it’s Photoshop, Oh My!

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:30:45 PDT

That’s right, we’re back to a photoshop tip again on the blog, and this one comes courtesy of question I read in the NAPP community forums. The person there had asked about pricing on some photography for a large company’s set of employee photos and his concern was about the post production time in creating [...]

RMNP – The Outtakes

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:30:58 PST

As you may recall, the photo walk group for Denver made another sunrise attempt at RMNP at Bear and Sprauge lake last weekend. Since the sunrise wasn’t what we’d hoped (the weather doesn’t always cooperate in landscape photography), we journeyed on, and stopped at a really nice place for panos. While we were milling around, [...]

Photobet Soup

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:30:50 PST

Just an exercise in silliness today, but I thought I would share some of the acronyms that I’ve learned in this zany field of photography. Let’s see how many we can come up with collectively. Do you know all the acronyms seen here? Know some more? Sound off in the comments with your own contributions [...]

More pano testing…

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:00:13 PST

As I continue with various software programs to test pano quality, I tried another application today, and the results were actually pretty good considering. I used the native PhotoMerge function from my Photoshop Cs3 Extended, and I must say that as far as panos go, the results are nice. The native functionality adds a shorter [...]

The Moment it…”Oops”!

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:30:23 PST

We all know the real phrase, made famous by none other than Joe McNally, and his well-received book “The Moment it Clicks”"…(and a great read, so go check it out if you haven’t already). However, that’s just Joe… I seem to encounter more blunders than brilliance. For instance, I was working on the photos from the [...]

The Canons Keep Coming!

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:30:03 PST

Last week we had the pleasure of visiting with Nicolesy on the show, and this week another Canonite graces us with his presence. It’s none other than Rick Sammon! We had a great conversation that touched on quite a few things including learning and teaching strategies for seminars and workshops, different stages of learning, and [...]

Pack for the location…and the weather!

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:37:56 PST

I got a great question via email while I was en route home tonight about the pending photo shoot in RMNP tomorrow, asking “What and how do you pack for such environments?” Great question and since I was packing tonight anyway, I figured this would be a good opportunity to put a little video together [...]

Early to bed, Early to Rise

jason@canonblogger.com (Jason Anderson) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:51:10 PST

Makes for a great opportunity to shoot sunrises in Rocky Mountain National Park! And that’s where the Denver Photo Walk Meetup group is headed again tomorrow. You’ve seen the video here on the blog for a few months now and for those of you that have watched it, you know the light wasn’t as good [...]
