I’ll definitely remember this the next time I have a glass of wine.
Thanks for the link, Angelo!

Reverie - Made on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II
I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first when Canon and Nikon started putting HD video capability in their dSLRs. Then I thought about it more. Making videos with all of your awesome lenses is not an idea to shake a stick at. Check out Reverie, by Pulitzer-winning photographer Vincent Laforet. Amazing.
Be prepared to see some awesome stuff coming out in the near future.

Google Maps Street View - A Little Close to Home
I had no idea the Google Van drove through my complex. Kind of freaky.
Integrating Hi-Res Photos to Enhance Video
Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene from pro on Vimeo.
This technology seems almost too good to be true. The skeptic within doubts that these calculations are done in real-time. I have to admit, though, that the results are very impressive.

Canon EOS 50D
Is the end of my Canon EOS 20D drawing nigh? I’ve managed to stave off not one, but two iterations in the Canon EOS X0D family. Will my resolve crumble? We’ll see.
Digital Photography Review has a fairly thorough preview on the Canon EOS 50D.
Along with the better weather sealing and overall bump in specs, I most interested in the new Digic IV processor and how it handles noise reduction with such high light sensitivity (ISO 12800). I’ll definitely wait until Digital Photography Review gets their hands on a production model and puts the thing through its paces.
How excited am I about this camera, you ask? Well, it’s 3:30am and I’m still awake reading about it.

High Speed Photography
This is geek photography at its best.
This photography/engineer created the laser trigger and 500 microsecond flash to get those amazing high-speed shots.

San Diego Comic Con 2008
This is my first foray into the San Diego Comic Con. I really didn’t know what to expect except for the size of the convention itself. Even having that in mind, I was still floored by the immensity of the attendance. People from all over the world, from all walks of life came here to share in their passion for the “contemporary creative arts.”
I was so overwhelmed by everything I didn’t take as many photos as I thought I would. Also, it got so packed I couldn’t even stop to take a photo. Most of these photos were taken “in passing” and as such, came out fairly blurry.
Oh well, I’ll know what to expect next year. 
I took the time to annotate most of the photos, so enjoy!

How To Make a Time Lapse Video
There’s a great post at digital-photography-school.com on how to make a time lapse video using your dSLR. The above video is my first attempt. Here are my stats:
- Manual Mode: 2 second exposure @ F13 in 30-second intervals
- 490 shots total
- Rendered video @ 10fps

Bee Swarm
A swarm of bees decided to make a rest stop out of one of the trees in front of my house. I have an unnatural fear of bees, but for the love of photography, I snapped these shots.
Enjoy!
Oh, and Happy Father’s Day!
