Music and the boys
Both my boys seem to have interest in music, singing, drumming, and dancing. Due to the chance meeting of my beloved and I being an affair he was DJing this is very dear to my heart. We are a music loving household. I have noticed there is a difference between the boys preferences in that [...]
Long Live the Nikon SB600
Posted by RyanG in Photography on January 10, 2011
It’s been a bit over a year since I dropped my Nikon SB600, rendering it useless. When it happened I was able to disassemble the flash and identify the part which was damaged, but being a relative layman when it comes to circuit board components I didn’t know what to replace it with. Apparently though, [...]
Dear Music
Dear Music, First I must apologize for our lack of visits, I’ve been so busy running around taking care of my sweet baby boys, husband and home. I can’t believe it’s been so long since our last visit, you know a real visit when we can just sit and enjoy each other’s company. I know [...]
Music
Today on my lovely morning walk I was listening to my favorite Pandora station and heard the Isley Brothers ‘Footsteps in the Dark’ and all that kept playing in my head is ‘It was a good day’ by Ice Cube. I then recalled all the times I would get excited over a ‘new’ song and [...]
Hacking the RadioPopper JrX
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Worklogs on September 17, 2009
Okay I know what you’re thinking, and no I didn’t figure out how to turn a basic reciever into a studio receiver, but sadly, I’m simply not that cool. What I did do however was open the boxes for my two new RadioPopper JrX Studio receivers, put batteries in them, test them (oohh pretty), then [...]
You get what you pay for, or less!
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Reviews on September 13, 2009
So you likely know that I recently dropped and broke my Nikon SB600 flash. Disappointed as I was about this, I was already thinking of how I’d replace it. My searches for Nikon compatible flashes had always included these apparently super affordable Phoenix flashes. Now, of course, I was always very suspicious of these for [...]
Like a flash in the pan
Posted by RyanG in Photography on September 7, 2009
Welp, my Nikon SB600, which I’ve had for about a year and a half now has officially been declared dead. After dropping it yesterday it simply wouldn’t turn on anymore. I popped it open today hoping to discover what went wrong, after getting it pretty well apart, I noticed this. Apparently the drop cracked the [...]
Of living insects, and dying electronics
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Quincy on September 6, 2009
We finally took Quincy to our local Museum of Natural History for the Butterflies Alive! exhibit. It’s been open for months now, and is ending September 21st. They’ve been doing this for years, and my wife and I have never visited. It was actually extraordinarily enjoyable, and I got some pretty nice photos, if I [...]
What Excites Professional Photogs?
Posted by RyanG in Photography, twitter on July 30, 2009
Okay, so this is almost two months overdue, but I wanted to share an observation and thought process I had courtesy of one of the professional photographers I follow on Twitter; AcmePhoto. The tweet was something along the lines of “I’ve got plenty of fireworks photos, so I left the SLR behind”. This was in [...]
Tethered Shooting – Professional Chimping?
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Rants on March 8, 2009
Okay, first.. This post/rant was inspired by a few tweets from Chase Jarvis. That said, I’m not throwing stones, or trying to start a fight. The topic just got me thinking and I wanted to share my train of thought. Chase, and any other professional who shots tethered, I’m actually jealous. I wish I could shoot tethered. Read [...]
