<span style="font-size: large;">Way back when.... there was only film to capture your photographs and movies. Mine was a 35mm camera a single lens reflex using mostly black and white film. And for special occasions color film, but most of my early work was black and white. The most important thing about those times, for those that were not around? There was no deleting your mistakes within the camera!You could not just look at your LCD on the back of your digital camera and see if you liked the photograph you just took, and decide to keep it or as you do today just delete it. You never got to see your mistakes or successes <i>until later </i>after they had been sent away, or you had learned to develop your film and then print an actual photo, from the negative.</span><br />
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><u>What I blended:</u></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">the photograph above is a composite of mediums. The (young mans) face in the photograph is me (40 years or more younger), it was taken with a 35 mm film camera. I found <i><b>the</b></i> <i>actual photograph </i>in my old photo album and then scanned it and uploaded it digitally as a jpg file to my computer. But its origination is strictly from silver laden 35mm film, and then developed with chemicals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My face captures the light of a moving lit candle, slowly moving in front of my face from left to right.The camera was set for a time exposure of about thirty seconds. Although the candle can not be seen because it never stayed in one spot long enough for the then probably ASA 200 film to catch its shape. You can see the light trail left by the burning candle as it traveled in front of me. The rocket taking off and the trail of exhaust below it ,and the tower to the right is taken from a <u><i>U.S.Postage Stamp</i></u> honoring Robert H.Goddard. He is credited with inventing the first known liquid fueled rockets . I am a huge fan of the early space program and astronauts and exploration into space, so I blended the digitized file of the stamp with the 40 year old <i>'selfie' portrait </i>photograph.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><i>Experiment with mediums: </i></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many old 35mm slides and developed films from the past most likely from your own photo albums, parents or even ones you may find at flea markets , yard sales and auctions. Think about blending different mediums using old format 35 mm film scanned and digitized.Then blend with other mediums,and then combine as in my case a regular old unused postage stamp that I found and scanned digitally to make the above scene, which spans 40 or more years.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have fun! </span>

Congrats to my daughter who caught this great moment between her almost two year old son and "<i>Papa"</i>, with a quick eye and a handy smart phone. With just a little cropping of the shot, plus adding a frame, and it becomes a great photograph ! Great shot K. ! </div>

<h3>
Discovering QR Codes</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Above
you will see my first experimental QR codes combined with a digital
photograph. They can now be used to promote <a href="http://www.stephenbowersock.com/" target="_blank">my website </a>. The QR photograph below, is exactly that, a 5 x 7' photograph that I could now post at a local bulletin board, or to be posted as an advertisement anywhere legally done.You could also use regular printing paper rather then using photo paper, as I did in actuality. <br />
If you are <b><i>unfamiliar</i></b> with the
QR symbol and it's use then today would be a good day to learn. It is not to say that this symbol is familiar to only a select few, but I do think
it still remains a mystery to many. The usual reaction to the question
"what is a QR code/symbol", results in silence, blank stares, "a Q
what?" etc. If ask something like,it looks
similar to a bar code" and "you see it on mail delivered to your house
or business, then the reaction is oh okay is that what they are?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the future people will
most likely react with a more positive reaction to what is a QR code? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Why even care about QR bar codes?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The trend is strong it
will be around for many years as a Smart Phone application. Propagation
of this transfer of information will continue to increase until it is
part of the American fabric of communication via the codes created.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.QR codes are showing up everywhere. They will soon be on your flat
screen as you watch your favorite TV shows and news casts.<br />
3. It will have its uses, it will have it's drawbacks,it will have limitations, but it will be here to stay.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
What is a QR Code ?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response
Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix bar code (or
two-dimensional bar code) first designed for the automotive industry in
Japan......more at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code" target="_blank">Wikipedia,</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
What are the QR code uses ? Why would I care?</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the month of June 2011, according to one study, 14 million mobile users scanned a QR code or a bar code </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
..... Some 58% of those users scanned a QR or bar code from their homes,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
..... 39% scanned from retail stores;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
..... 53% of the 14 million users were men between the ages of 18 and 34</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
..... use of QR codes for "virtual store" formats and is currently expanding globally</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
..... Big companies such as Walmart, Procter & Gamble and Woolworth s have already adopted the Virtual Store concept.</div>

My main focus during my visit was to get an overview of all the art. But, would have an eye out for any photography. Although I like most art, photography intrigues me the most.</div>

If you have not been to the <a href="http://www.artbma.org/" target="_blank">BMA</a> before, or it has been a while since you have been there, look for these changes; the entrance is no longer between the two lion statues out front of the museum, and the walk up the steps to that entrance. In fact pass them both on your way to the new entrance just feet east(to the right as you face the old entrance on Museum Drive) of the old front entrance where you will also find more parking just off the new main entrance. Grab your ticket from the automatic ticket dispenser and take it with you inside. Right inside the lobby you can pay for all day for a reasonable $6.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is also street metered parking right in front of the museum on Museum Drive. </div>

<i><u> Note: If you wish to be surprised and do not want to know what art is displayed then do not look or read beyond this point.</u></i></div>

On this day I was bringing along a friend who really is an artist and a lover of the arts. Although she was hundreds of miles away, I sent pictures of what I found interesting ( or knew something about), and gladly fired off my pics through my I-phone. Although the lighting is bright,it was a challenge to photograph without a real 35 mm digital.And some sculptures or art were so large it was hard to get it all in the photograph. In fact some works of art are so large you can walk around, through, and under them as you view them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the artist I was familiar with, some were new and exciting to discover. But, most of all, I found the experience to be a wonderful afternoon wondering through a great <a href="http://www.artbma.org/" target="_blank">Art Museum</a>.<br />

I call my photos mash ups. Mashing one photo into the next. Finding the right combination of form and colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Some are laid on top of other photos serving as back grounds, such as the photo below. Some are combined together to form just one picture.All photos were made with an I phone 3, transferred to my Dell computer and transformed in Google Picasa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Virtually all were post edited in Picasa for color enhancement, inverted colors, and a number of easily performed editing tasks within Picasa.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">In an earlier article , examples were given to show if you really look closely in your back yard, front yard, neighbors yards and the immediate neighborhood you can produce some great photographs. It is not necessary to travel far to find a great shot.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> I was amazed this photo turned out, and it took severe photo editing to bring out the humming birds beating wings.</span></span><br />

But, is one of the favorite activities you can enjoy shooting with your camera..I like the idea that your mind fills in much of a picture like the one to the right. You have already decided it is probably a lonely country road late at night. Or even a lonely highway near home. It does not matter if in reality it is a busy country style road connecting thousands of commuters everyday, and would not be rare to see cars stopped bumper to bumper every afternoon.<br />
The picture to the right was made by cradling my Nikon D200 camera on my arm as it pointed out the driver side window of my car (not moving and off),shot with available light as the car moved down the hill toward me.<br />

Walking on the busy side walk I spied this little walkway, that was off to the left, lighted by the single lamp. <br />

And why is everything in ' the Cloud' now? Your information is in the cloud, your computer applications now run in the Cloud.....and of course all our pictures are now stored in the Cloud.<br />
<br />
It makes the definition of a phone , so different from when most of us older folks where growing up.<br />
The only way you called out on a phone was by dialing a wheel with the letters and numbers cordinated with a finger holes for your finger tips to slid into. And the only way you made a phone call on the road was from a Gas (or filling) Station that had a phone (or phone booth )on it's property, usually by the free air hose. Imagine free air at a Service Station.<br />
<br />
So just sitting here in the middle of a big open field, with my I Phone( camera? computer?), and sending you a hello and a picture of a c<i>loud</i> in case you forgot what a cloud really is! The weather is beautiful here, and hope it is for you too.And sending both picture of a cloud and placing it on my blog (in the Cloud),<br />
never mind ....<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Have fun this weekend...everyone and don't worry about the clouds!<br />
This picture from my I- phone.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Robin perched on my front door light, what's left of it. Soon will have some chicks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although it is common for me to record the passages of the seasons in photographs, right from the back yard, today was special. I wanted to look closer, at the leaves, at the birds, at what nature had given me in my own back yard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's light was special.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bright, shining through the trees and and leaves, casting beautiful shadows on the ones below.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The idea was to look hard for what I had not seen before.</span><br />

<br />
There were way to many photographs ,from this past Memorial weekend,so I had to put them all in one collage. In fact I could make several collages of family and friends.<br />
If you want a great program for not only making <i>collages</i> but many other task, including complete editing of all your photographs, then I suggest going to Google.com and getting their great version of an easy editing program called <a href="http://www.picasa.google.com/" target="_blank">Picasa</a>.<br />
Blogger and Picasa are a great combination to do just this task, and let Picasa do all the work.<br />
You can get both the Blogger and Picasa programs by going to Google and downloading them free.<br />
If you already have the Picasa program , just go to the 'Create' menu item, and drop down to Picture Collage'. You can even let Picasa arrange the individual pictures for you, with just the click of a mouse.<br />

This self defamation is somewhat defended by family being in house from out of town, but not really, it is just another excuse.Okay so I have excuses. But, I am getting way past beating myself up, and looking mostly on the side where the glass is full, and sometimes i confess half full.<br />
<br />
All in all I put my Nikon D200 through some tough situations for lighting but the <br />
AF-S Nikkor 18mm to 70 mm, was indispensable for close ups and wide angles. Back lighting flare ups did creep in a little but all in all they were respectable shots both inside and outside.<br />
<br />
Now I believe in the shoot by numbers. Meaning I will let the camera rip and take four frames a second.<br />
<br />
So, the rookie mistake? Well I ripped through the first three quarters of the birthday party with loads of shots, but had burned up the battery, the only one I brought with me, and no charger to get the pack up and charged again. And, never once even thought about looking at the battery indicator, or checking it's status.<br />
<br />
Okay, and, this is my first grandsons, first birthday . Ouch !<br />
<br />
All in all I got some respectable shots without paining the guest to to much, and of course the guest of honor, Brody R. who turned one year old on May 18,2012. But, the fact that I missed the presents and cake, ouch again. Hopefully they will be filled in with others who could upload the remainder of the party.<br />
<br />
The Kicker ?? I had already charged a second battery to take with me and did not!! The exact thing I had bought it for, a back up! And failed.<br />
<br />
Seems I am always one day short............<br />
<br />
Will someone fill the remainder of the glass please ?<br />
<br />

But, you have to fool your camera into thinking it is not dark. Either set the shutter open or at least on a time delay, you are going to need a few seconds of time to capture a scene. It all depends on what you want to capture, and how much detail you want to capture. With time you will get used to your camera and what will be produced with certain settings.<br />

The cannon firing in the picture is hidden by the gun powder smoke used in the firing of this cannon. I took the picture seconds after the cannon fired the round. Although I do not think I would publish this picture just because of esthetics, and content(the soldiers and cannon ) hidden by the smoke in the picture, there was a really good reason that I wanted to show this picture.<br />
<br />
Imagining back on those hot July days July 1-3,1863 with so many cannon firing at once, , what it must have been like trying to see the advancing army charging toward you. This photograph was taken at the very spot where the Union Army would have been firing their cannon. Even though this was a windy spring day on May7,2011 where the clouds were sweeping across the sky like a changing picture all after noon, the smoke still floated in the air waiting to be whisked away by the breeze<br />
<br />
Bring that situation closer to the approaching July 4th holiday weekend 2011, with the now hot and humid days in this region and you get a more realistic feeling of what it must have been like almost 150 years ago during the Battle of Gettysburg.<br />
<br />
More Gettysburg pictures and the photographic experience soon. <br />

It has been since Mother's Day Weekend May 7, 2011, that WCL(my brother in law) and I headed up to <a href="http://www.nps.gov/gett/index.htm">Gettysburg National Military Park</a> in Pennsylvania to shoot some photographs of this great US National Park. WCL is a veteran of this great park and has spent many an afternoon and evening with the sun setting to get just the right light hitting the monuments at the right angles. He has done some really fine work and can be seen <a href="http://www.stephenbowersock.com/">here (all of the introductory photos are his).</a><br />
<br />
But this blog is about learning. And one of the tools that I have learned to use is the<a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/Learn-And-Explore/Nikon-Camera-Technology/ftlzi4ri/1/Nikon-Electronic-Forma-NEF.html"> NEF file</a> of the Nikon D200 camera that I used that day.The NEF is Nikon's RAW file format, RAW image files, sometimes referred to as digital negatives, contain all the image information captured by the camera's sensor, along with the image's metadata (the camera's identification and its settings, the lens used and other information). The NEF file is written to the memory card in either an uncompressed or "lossless" compressed form.<br />
<br />
Looking back and critiquing my work I have found some glaring mistakes that I made that would have made such a difference in the outcome of the digital shots I took that day.<br />
<br />
A close look at the picture above shows the good luck WCL and I had when there was a re-enactment of a canon being loaded, sighted, and fired with armament of the time (less the actual canon ball).<br />
The dramatic fire escaping was a good shot but lacks the clarity that could have been attained by using a sturdy tripod, or some other support. The man just over the canon fire is blurred because of movement. So the number one lesson learned?<br />
1. Always be prepared with a tripod at any shoot.<br />
<br />
The NEF file is a file that the Nikon cameras uses when it takes each shot. It is a big file, and a wealth of information to review after a photo shoot. Some mistakes can be corrected by using post programs to hide the mistakes. But, some can not.<br />
<br />
Here are the mistakes I found by reviewing just this one photograph above:<br />
White Balance - was set to Incandescent !! No wonder the color was so wrong .<br />
Focal Length - was set to 125mm. That in itself was not bad but with the long focal length plus the fact that there was no tripod and the shutter speed went off at 1/90 of a second resulted in blurring.<br />
<br />
2. Check your settings and then double check them again later making sure the settings still apply for what you are currently shooting..<br />
<br />
Just two simple things, would have made a difference. There will be more in the future from the Gettysburg photographs.<br />

If you visit Baltimore Maryland, you might want to think twice about filming or taking pictures in and around Baltimore, and Maryland.....read this article as posted in the Sunpaper.........do not give up your rights to the First Amendment.<br />
<br />
This is not the first time I have seen commentary on the First Amendment rights of individuals being taken away because of misunderstanding of the Patriot Act as sited in this article.<br />

The light patterns shown are captured at night with a digital camera. The lights are not moving, the camera was moved from 1-3 seconds ,while the shutter is open to the entire time trying to capture the light. Some are longer in time. The patterns you see in the pictures are that of a single light source,a porch light in the distance of about 50 yards or less.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is one of the finest in the country and is completely free. For those that are not close to libraries or institutions that carry affordable books, I have added some here for you to compare.<br />
<br />
With Fathers day and graduation ceremonies so close and ongoing you might want to consider a book for the beginner or budding photographer in your life. Or, maybe dad or the new graduate is already pretty good at their photography, you might want to look at something more advanced. In either case you should be able to find something to fit any caliber of expertise for friend or family after looking at some of the books below<br />

With just a single search of my zip code and / or state and Meetup showed me at least 27 groups within 25 miles of my home, just using the 'photography' search term. Here are some of the groups that appeared close to me....check it out in your town.<br />

There are probably a hundred more search terms you could use, of course you might want to limit it to the type that interest you at the time.<br />
