RAW decoding comparison, originally uploaded by eaghra. Ok, so last night I tried to go capture Comet Lulin, and frankly I chickened out from the cold and lack of a tall tripod. However, I did manage to catch it in a few shots and I thought it looked good on the lcd, but upon getting [...]

Yeah, so that pic over there, it seems to becoming an annual tradition. Last year was -2 I believe, year before that was about the same. I’m not sure what the actual temp was today where I was, but I listened to NOAA a few times in the early afternoon and Madison was at -7. [...]

That there is Jupiter and its 4 major moons. Taken purely with the 40D and kit lens (EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM) at .5 seconds, f/5.6 and expanded ISO to 3200. Quite a bit of noise due to the non native ISO, but still, I’m shocked. Now if I could only get the right series of [...]

Well, the robin tried to attack me and I found the baby squirrel on the tree across the street. So I guess he lived. I damn near about walked into him on the ground before I saw him sitting there only about 5 feet away from me. Funny thing is that he didn't see me [...]

That number up there, 25,532, is big. What it represents is the amount of steps I take on my route. Ok, not my route, but the route I’m still filling in on. Yeah, I said I’d quit it when Ted came back and began casing mail again, which in turn cut my hours. But truth [...]
