With Manual Control Comes Great Power and Responsibility

Thu Tu Koelling — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:00:05 +0000

Last week, I got my new camera, the Canon Powershot SD 990 IS, just in time to use it during the weekend. I went with some friends to the Petaluma Pumpkin Patch to check out the pumpkin patch and to (try to) go through the Amazing Corn Maze. I was really looking forward to the [...]

Deciding if a High-Speed Memory Card Is Worth It

Thu Tu Koelling — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 02:36:28 +0000

I just ordered a new digital camera, Canon Powershot SD 990 IS, and wanted to get a memory card to use with it. There are so many storage choices these days, it’s a bit overwhelming. I finally decided on a brand and size, but didn’t know if I should pay extra for the high-speed cards. [...]

Coppermine Gallery held a contest to get some nice photos in the demo, rather than cheesy stock photos. I entered several of my photos into the contest. It turned out the photo of my cats

Favorite Kitty Photo

Thu Tu Koelling — Sun, 02 Oct 2005 04:31:03 +0000

This is one of my favorite photos of my kitties. It shows Mr Darcy’s beautiful blue eyes, and Mr Knightley’s really affectionate nature. As I write this, he is napping against my leg.

This photo showed up in the background when ABC World News filmed me working at my desk at work.

The stargazer lily is my favorite flower. It smells as beautiful as it looks. I love the intricate details of its structure

Doesn’t it look like these penguins are trying to fly?

What a Man

The first time I saw this, was at the Grand Opening of the Cantor Arts Center. So there was a lot of fanfare, with music and food. I came across one exhibit where there was a young woman playing the violin. I noticed out of the corner of my eye a man who [...]

Resolution is no solution

Thu Tu Koelling — Thu, 18 Mar 2004 21:16:59 +0000

I’ve been doing research on how to best approach the redesign of my photo gallery. I’ve looked at technical solutions, other people’s designs, and I just now looked at demographics of users to see how I can best serve the visitors.

One of the things that affects a user’s viewing experience is monitor resolution. This [...]

Feedback on my photography sites

Thu Tu Koelling — Sun, 14 Mar 2004 19:46:59 +0000

I originally bought my domain and hosting service to share my photography. However, after switching to my fourth host, I was tired of tweaking my code to make it work with the new host’s system. I also had feedback that the page format I used to display my photos wasn’t too great. I played around [...]

My co-worker and I were in SF on a photo expedition. After all that effort, we were tired and hungry. We chose to eat at the particular restaurant because we saw the Caterpillar Roll in photo in front of the store, and we knew we just had to eat there so we could [...]

Ghoulish bowler leans to get a ball

Thu Tu Koelling — Tue, 01 Apr 2003 16:10:56 +0000

I could not bowl because of my shoulder, so I practiced my photography. I guess my camera is very sensitive…

As you can see from these unedited (I swear!) photographs, ghosts like to bowl, too. You wouldn’t think they would because the bowling ball would be so heavy… but the supernatural probably defies the natural [...]
