I was driving up our raised driveway and Ezra exclaimed “There is a DEER!”. We’ve been seeing quite a few deer (both buck and doe) around the creek recently. Take a close look at the first photo and see if you can spot him? Then take a look at the exact same photo in color. Amazing.

Two birds and an egg

We’ve been watching this bird’s nest for some time in our shed which is in construction. The mother, would always fly around the clearing watching and waiting… Maybe having a panic attack? The little ones finally came. Sadly, the third egg never hatched. A few days later, the nest was empty (except the 1 egg). Little [...]
Life Flight Helicopter under the Evening Sky

I was impressed by the shutter speed on my Droid X to capture the rotors with such clarity. On the flip side, here is an untouched photograph of Ezra that I took just by rotating the Droid X as the picture was taken. This was in the evening, less light on the ground. Apparently [...]

It’s spring and with the beauty of the trees and forest, the end of the snow and rain, came time to do a bit more earth moving. I believe this panoramic photograph should illustrate the quality of work rendered by Jim Simondale and Matt Simondale from Simondale Excavating, Warriors Mark, PA. Matt can be reached at (814) 935-8591. Bear in [...]
Panoramic of Spring Time!

Here is a panoramic made of 12 shots with the Droid X camera. This time I held it sideways so to capture a taller viewing angle. I think it turned out nicely. Make sure to click on it to see it at full size.

Panoramic of Winter Scene

This one was comprised of about 87 overlapping photographs. Eli took his new tripod, on a bitter cold day, and set it up on the “top tier” of cleared ground, capturing about 270 degrees of the scene. Again, we used Hugin to stitch it together. (click image to see full size version) The cameramen [...]

I took about 45 photos today, freehand, with Eli’s FinePix point-and-shoot digital camera. The camera isn’t in top shape, and the light of the sun really washed out some of the shots, which was propagated to all shots by Hugin while stitching. I would imagine that if I knew more about Hugin, that I could [...]
