It was a Bible cover
Basically, Trayce must have cheated. I say that jokingly, but I’m not entirely convinced it’s untrue. She managed to guess that the object was in fact a Bible cover. It could have been leather for any of a thousand things, but she nailed it. That’s just crazy.
She will be added to the page of winners soon. [...] -
Guess What It Is!
I got my macro extension tube recently. It lets me get ridiculously close to things. This is my first “Guess What It Is” post since it arrived. Now that I can make things more difficult, maybe I’ll start offering prizes.
You can see previous objects and who guessed them on the Page of Winners, and you might [...] -
It was an audio connector
Well, Matt guessed it. Although, he wasn’t as specific as he could have been. His guess was “TS/TRS connector either 1/4 or 1/8th inch.” and it was an 1/4th inch TRS connector.
Will was also pretty close to right, but it wasn’t part of a guitar cable, it’s part of a 1/8th to 1/4th inch adapter.
Sorry [...] -
Guess What It Is!
Here we go again! I haven’t gotten a new lens for my camera yet, but I did manage to get a little closer. Future posts should be even closer because I ordered a nifty little device that will allow me to take super-close macros with my dSLR. I’ll post about that device, along with a [...]

Finally…
*Movie announcer voice* This Summer! It’s the movie you’ve been waiting for your entire life. Critics are raving. Bla, bla, bla.
Okay, so it’s not a huge deal. I’ve finally started working on my digital photography video series. We’ll be talking about exposure compensation, and I even got way better lighting. I hope to have the [...] -
Guess What It Is!
It’s that time again! Time to play the nifty guessing game. This one might be a bit easier. I need to get a macro lens for my camera so I can get closer to stuff.
Anyway, post your guesses. This one will end tomorrow (04/05/10) at 5PM. You can check out the Page of Winners to [...] -
It was a stack of CD’s!
If you couldn’t tell, I’m slowly raising the level of difficulty for these games. The last one was guessed on the first try. This one took until the second guesser. Ron won this round. He’ll soon be added to the Page of Winners.
The next one will be coming soon. Rather than checking back in a [...] -
It was a fork!
Well, that was an easier round. I figured I’d be nice before I post some of the other ones I’ve taken. Megan won this one, and will be up on the Page of Winners soon.
Check back soon for more pictures to guess. You can subscribe or follow me on Twitter if you want to make [...] -
Guess What It Is!
It’s (finally) that time again! This episode of “Guess What It Is” will last until Wednesday (04/28/10) 12PM Eastern. Check out the Page of Winners to see what I’ve already used.

Guess What It Is!
My friend just got a camera. This, of course, prompted me to get back into photography again. This, of course, prompted me to find a new subject for a “Guess What It Is” picture. Guessing ends Wednesday (12/30/09) at noon Eastern.
Please check out the Page of Winners to see our previous winners, and to find out [...] -
It was an eraser!
Alright, that one was pretty obvious. I’ll try to make it harder next time. It was an eraser. Larry was the most accurate, but Chris was really the first to get it. He’ll go up on the page of winners soon. Thanks for playing, everyone. Stay tuned for the next picture.

Guess What It Is!
Yup, it’s that time again! I haven’t done one in a while. Guessing will end Thursday (12/17), at noon Eastern. That’s also when I’m planning on revealing the answer.
Check out the Page of Winners to see our previous winners, and to find out what’s been done already.
Have fun! -
It was a twist tie!
Well, it looks like Will would have won, except the tie actually came off something else (don’t remember what, but it wasn’t bread). Which makes Mike the winner, since he was the first to guess it. He’ll be added to the page of winners.
Stay tuned for another (and hopefully a bit more difficult) round! -
Guess What It Is!
It’s been a while, but it is time (once again) for another game of “Guess What it is!” Guessing will end Saturday (11-21-09) at noon. The answer will be revealed somewhere around then (hopefully right at noon, but I might be busy).
Check out the page of winners to see what objects have already been used, [...] -
It was a leaf!
Justin guessed it first. I guess it was an easier picture. I was hoping someone might guess leather, or pleather, or… anything but a leaf. Anyway, check out the recently updated page of winners to see the results so far.
Stay tuned for the next round! -
Guess What It Is!
It’s that time again! Time for another guess what it is picture! This one is a little easier than previous pictures. We’ll see if someone can get it. Guessing will be open until Sunday (November 1) at 7PM Eastern.
Check out the page of winners to see what’s already been done, and who’s won previous games. -
It was a pencil shaving!
Sunday’s picture was a pencil shaving! It was pretty hard to guess given how close a macro the picture was. I’m sorry I didn’t get this up quite on time.
Technically, no one was able to guess the picture. Grace and my mom (Cheryl) were the closest. They’ll go on the page of winners later today. -

“follow Me”
I took this with a Sony A100 the other day. It took me a while to find a phrase from Jesus that is on one line and surrounded by black text I have another one I might upload soon if it turns out well.
The image is very heavily post processed (my Bible doesn’t really look [...] -
Digital Photography Introduction
Hey, guys! I decided to start a video series on digital photography. We’ll be covering things like the basics of how cameras work, how different exposure settings work, and tips on using them to get the best possible pictures. Check out the video for more information.
My plan for getting video off of my camera to [...] -
It was an icecube!
Yesterday’s “Guess what it is!” object was an icecube. It was sitting on top of a yellow sponge, and some sub-surface scattering probably gave the impression that it was yellow.
Anyway, no one won that one. You can check out the page of winners, though, to see people who’ve already won, and a list of the [...] -

Too Many Megapixels – Get Off My Lawn!
I’m gonna sound like a grumpy old man who’s afraid of technology, so I might as well have fun with it.
Long pointless Story
Back in the day, when I was just much younger (okay, like 5 years ago) I got my first digital camera. It was a 4-megapixel A80. I specifically got the A80 over the [...] -
Nikon D300s
I’ve been getting back into photography lately, so I’ll probably be writing more camera and photography related posts. For right now, I just want to inform you all that I’m drooling over the Nikon D300s. I love Nikon dSLR’s because they have so little noise. ISO 1600 on even their D90 (a fairly entry-level) dSLR [...]
