Panasonic HDC-TM700
Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work

Bag Fetishes
I’ve posted here about my occasional obsession with camera/notebook bags – which at some level speaks about gender equality; that Ling has her thing about handbags, I’ve got an equivalent thing about camera and notebook bags too.:) Anyway – the

Kumamoto in HDR – Part 4
And the last stack of HDR compositions: of Kyu-Hosokawa Gyobutei. These were the hardest HDR exposures I’ve done so far: they’re all handheld shots taken indoors. Well, that’s a wrap for all the pictures taken of my stay in Kumamoto,
