Played around with it a little bit and made this version.

A few new shots of downtown.

All taken with the new lens except for the moon. That was with my 70-300mm.

New lens

December 21st, 2006 by kent

I bought a new lens, the Sigma 10-20mm super wide angle. Haven’t had a chance to take any photos with it yet but I have over a week off of work coming up so I’ll get out then and try to generate a bunch of new content for the blog here.

Internet Explorer sucks

December 14th, 2006 by kent

I just realized that IE chokes when I post images wider than 600 pixels and forces the sidebar links and search form to go to the bottom of the page. That doesn’t happen with Firefox which I use 99% of the time so I didn’t notice that bug earlier. I’ll look into editing the templates later to try to fix that. In the meantime download Firefox if you can, if you’re at work or school and don’t have that option, sorry.

-Edit-

I just installed the Internet Explorer 7 update and the site displays correctly in that so hopefully that bug is fixed. I’m sticking with Firefox as my default browser though.

Night time

December 14th, 2006 by kent

There was a meteor shower last night and I had hoped to catch some streaking across the sky but no luck. Here’s what I got instead. Depending on your monitor calibration these either look fairly cool or like total crap. They look good on my LCD but not so hot on the CRT.

Could probably stand a little more editing but it will do for now.
