Photography Notes
Wow! It’s February already and time is flying by. I want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in my blog survey in January. I took the opportunity to begin reviewing the data during the power outage during the Super Bowl game and hope to have a summary report of the responses by next week.
Recently, I’ve been toying around with the idea of creating my own camera obscura – commonly known as a Pinhole Camera. I’ve an idea to take long (months long) exposure of the sky in my backyard. Not sure how well it will work but it seems to be a cool photo project.
Of course the set up and results will be blogged here.

I’m really looking forward to learning the ropes of long exposure landscape shooting this month.
Happy snapping, everyone!

Here is a much better link that discusses using a black glass NDP –

A cheaper way to go is use an extra body cap attached to your dSLR. You cut out a hole then get sheet metal and drill out an even smaller hole. Spray with black paint and open up the clogged hole. A quick Google search will provide a more complete discussion on the subject.
