  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Long Island Wing Festival

    A friend of mine is a bar owner and organized the first annual Long Island Wing Festival to coincide with the start of Football season. After all, what goes better with the game than a big plate of chicken wings? This past Sunday, over 700 people packed another local bar (they were...

    Last night I got the opportunity to shoot for an artist directly. Andy Bell (Erasure) and Howard Jones, played a show at a local venue last night and I was given the opportunity by Andy's PR guy to shoot the event. Here are the links to the pictures if anyone is interested. Howard Jones at...

    R.I.P. Cigars :-(

    No oils = no flavor. Besides, I don't have a pipe.

    R.I.P. Cigars :-(

    At least 2 months. I tried to revive them and they were smokeable but they had no flavor profile at all. All the oils were gone.

    Backstreet Boys M&G

    I was asked by the radio station to photograph the Backstreet Boys during their appearance for a listener event at the radio station. The room was not the most photographic friendly place (small, crowded, low ceiling, white walls and ceiling) but I was able to get some decent shots out if it...

    Maintaining focus?

    Ever since my near death experience in February, I remind myself that each day is a gift and to make the most of it. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. When I don't, I know that a new day is just around the corner and as long as I wake up, everything is good. For me, my goal is to live...

    R.I.P. Cigars :-(

    A while ago, I traded another member for a humidor. I've been seasoning it for 3 weeks just to make sure it was ready to go. One of my desktops had sprung a humidity leak and held 3 boxes of cigars (2 boxes of RP OWR and a box of Petersons), hence the trade. The cigars were unsalvageable but...

    Media Pass!

    What's sad is that because of the AUTO feature on the camera, everyone does think they are a pro. While I don't regard myself as a pro (far from it), I do think I take some pretty good pictures. Most people with a DSLR have no idea about things like aperture, lighting, shutter speed, etc. and...

    Media Pass!

    You make a very valid point and I can see your side of the argument. I thought about that too and here's my reasoning for doing it free this year.....to get my foot in the door. Maybe it leads to something, maybe it doesn't. But I'm willing to take that chance. It allows me to add to my...

    I own the pictures but they can use all of them for free.

    Media Pass!

    I'm a big NASCAR fan and my uncle and I go to the fall race every year at Dover. This year, I figured it was worth a shot to contact them and offer them a trade. I left a message explaining that I am a freelance photographer and I'm trying to build my portfolio. I told them that I would do...

    Prayers for a rough week.

    I'm sorry to hear of your loss and troubles but will be sending good ju-ju and asking for God's blessings for you and your family during your troubles. Remember, right now that single set of footprints in the sand aren't yours.

    Selling photos & Smugmug

    You can choose a vendor that prints them and ships them to the person ordering. It will tell you what your cost is, you tell it what percentage you want your mark up to be and if you want the price rounded up (to the nearest dime, quarter, half dollar, 75 cents or dollar) or not. You can...

    Photography Critiques Corner

    I guess everyone has their own things they like and don't like. I personally love selective color if done right. As far as HDR, what's wrong with being able to catch detail in a backlit subject or low-light condition that would ordinarily be very difficult to capture or pull out in...

    The thing to remember with Selective Color is that less is more. Pick one object or color and focus on that.

    Photography Critiques Corner

    This is actually one of the best pictures I've ever seen. Even though she's on a white background, you still got great depth of field from her pose. It's also incredibly sharp and really pops! Would you mind sharing the metadata?
