Then, it’s snow boogie time!

July 4th in Duluth
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007 at 01:56 | 0 commentsCategories: MiscTags:Well, this celebration was actually on July 3rd, but it was great nonetheless. We went to the City of Duluth’s Duluth Celebrates America at Scott Hudgens Park. After a short period of sprinkles, the weather was just amazing. The kids got a chance to ride the train and we sat and listened to Lori O’Brien and The Army Ground Forces Concert Band, both great performances. The night ended with a nice display of fireworks!

How Canon Makes Lenses
Thursday, February 8th, 2007 at 15:11 | 0 commentsCategories: MiscTags: CanonFor some of my technical buddies that frequent my blog, I thought you would be very interested in a tour of Canon’s factory where they make the awesome lenses I use to photograph everything. It’s a virtual tour, but quite informative. In fact, it kind of reminds me of the Materials class I had in college. Have a look here.
And more generically (not just Canon), here’s another video on how lenses are made:

Macro Shots
Saturday, August 12th, 2006 at 02:15 | 0 commentsCategories: MiscTags:Just purchased the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens. Wow, what a neat lens for macros. Unlike the “L” lens I’m used to using, the focusing mechanism on this lens is somewhat slow. And, in low light, it can’t focus like my other lens. But, wow, the macro opportunity this allows for is amazing. Here are some of the very first shots out of the camera!
