One thing that has been bugging me is my camera body, Canon EOS 450D aka Digital Rebel XSi. A while back ago I managed to sort of break my Canon XSi when a small mishap occurred, the camera fell over (while on a tripod) and jammed the EF 50mm f1.8 I had on it. Ever since then, one of the connectivity pins inside the camera (mainly the one that talks … Continue Reading »
The other day while sorting out the various memory cards I have, I came across one that was getting a bit roughed up. My Canon XSi (EOS 450D) takes SD (secure digital) memory, though I do tend to use SDHC (secure digital high capacity) cards more because of their large capacity allowances. I haven't used very many cards, but I do remember my first one was a Kingston 4GB SDHC … Continue Reading »

Granted we don't have a spare room for my computer so Robyn refers … Continue Reading »

If you are an avid Flickr user like myself, you might have noticed that Flickr does not have the most intuitive user interface among being one of the most popular sites (especially for photo sharing) currently on the Internet. The navigation portion of Flickr requires the user to use the mouse, a lot. At least it seems that way with me. If you are not using Firefox, why not? Get … Continue Reading »
Since I've gotten more into Photography the more I found my computer started to bog down when it came to the post-process portion of the hobby. Which means my computer has significantly slowed down since I've been shooting with RAW files. Some people might not have issues out there with the post-production work while working with RAW files but, when you shoot over 600 photos at a time, all in … Continue Reading »
Chances are if you a frequent surfer of the online world you have probably come across the term Twitter.

In today's world of electronic gadgets one such gadget I find people talking about more or even saying they want is a portable GPS unit for their vehicle. Well prior to this I have never used a GPS unit before though I was able to see a Garmin in action when Robyn and I were in Minnesota this year. I was curious as to how other vehicle GPS units perform … Continue Reading »
