First classic camera page added.

If you go to my classic camera page you will see that I have started the first page there. It is for my first camera, an Olympus OM2n. Here is a picture of it. My pages are at the top of the blog.

My first camera. Olympus OM2n

UUUUUUGH!!!

Just finished shoveling and my back is killing me. This was shot with my trusty little G9. Great carry around camera. I will most likely do a post about my equipment at some point but the G9 is a super camera for quick grab shots. It has full manual control and will take external flash so it can actually be creative. Oddly I used the built in snow scene setting for this shot. I almost always shoot manual or aperture priority. But on a whim I tried this and was pretty darned surprised as to how well it handled what can be a very difficult setting (snow).

This sucked.....

Test of lightroom flash gallery inside of a shadowbox

Here are some images from Harpers Ferry West Virginia. I have added them to a flash gallery in lightroom and am trying to get the gallery to show in the blog within a shadowbox….

Test of inserting a flickr set.

Here is an old flickr set I have had up on Flickr for a few years. It is from A Vivitar 21 plastic camera that made the rounds over at Nelsonfot.com.

Video of the snow

This is a quick test to see if I could put a video into the blog. I used my Flip for this and it picked up the door squeaking as I opened it and the background music from the TV. Not sure what the music is but it seems pretty good for this shot.

First post

Well, WordPress completely blew up on me so I am re installing some stuff. Not really concerned about the flow at the moment as I am using the rest of December to get this how I want it. Need to check shadowbox so I am adding a photo here. Click on the image to have it show up in a shadowbox:
