Bike

Got me a bike.

So I finally got myself a proper bicycle.  One that fits me.  Since I learned to ride a bike at 4 years old, I fell in love with it.  Never was into competitive or serious riding, just for myself.  I used to spend hours on a bike when I was a little younger.  Just riding [...]

Art on the streets

During our visit to the market, we walked around the Whyte Ave, which I think is the only avenue in Edmonton that actually has any pedestrian traffic.  It’s always jammed up with people.

Who do you want to be?

Who do you want to be?

I have ordered a new set of Cactus Wireless flash triggers for a friend, and they arrived today. These are new version of the ones I ordered not too long ago. I must say that the improvement in build quality is very apparent. I wanted to test them to see how they compared to the [...]

To DNG or not to DNG

This is definitely the question. What is DNG? DNG stands for Digital Negative Graphic. This format has been developed by Adobe Inc. in order to minimize RAW image incompatibilities. Camera manufacturers have proprietary formats for their RAW image. Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc. all have their own proprietary way of creating RAW image files in their [...]
