Zack Arias' Intro to DOF
Nice little video talking about the THREE elements that determine depth of field.
Zack has a bunch of videos on Youtube, just run a search for "Zack Arias" and you should get 'em all. Collect the whole set, as they say.

Have to post one more because it is my personal favorite (ironically more for the drama of the sky than the actual airplane here).

2011 Selfridge Airshow
Big airshow at the Selfridge Air Force Base. Wish me luck -- I'm told this is a very different and challenging type of photography.
If you go, here are a couple of sites with tips and tricks:
Also, because today's airshow, like many of them, is on a military base, there are a number of rules and restrictions for security reasons. See this FAQ page for good general info: http://www.selfridgeairshow.org/faqs.aspx#11 .

Clever little quick-release plate has channels for your cables (for tethered shooting). Takes the stress off the port connection. Kudos!

Very cool article about a very cool photographer using some very old technology instead of all of our fancy digital bells and whistles to get a very specific look.

'Roots in Detroit' Photo Competition Winners Showcased in Farmington - Farmington-Farmington Hills, MI Patch
 |
| Me being all artsy fartsy! |
Last night was the Roots in Detroit Contest Photography Exhibit at the Historic Winery building in Farmington, MI. I was fortunate to be picked as the second place winner and Dawn received an honorable mention. I believe there were over 100 entrants.
Lesa Ferencz, the creator and organizer of the event had everyone's winning piece printed and mounted at 24 x 36 inches and displayed in the middle of the room. Each participant got a large chunk of wall to display other work. There was something like 125 people who came through for the one-night-only show. Dawn and I are so pleased and grateful to everyone who came out. Apparently a big storm blew through during the showing. I was pretty much oblivious to it.
Joni from the Farmington Patch was there and interviewed Dawn and myself (I now kind of regret mentioning Batman! -- read the article and see what a dork I am!).

It was an awesome event and we were both honored to be part of it. Thank you Lesa and all the participants and supporters and a special thanks to all our friends and family who came out to see!

Reasons to Hire a Professional Commercial Photographer | eHow.com
So, how cool is this? I just googled myself (something I only remember to do about once a year) and I see that I am listed as one of the references for this article (specifically the page on one of my wedding websites where I answer the burning question, "Why should you hire a professional photographer?").
Outstanding!

New Kindle e-book by Heath Lowrance. A great follow-up to his premiere novel, The Bastard Hand. This is ten (i.e. the title) plus one bonus short stories that really make you think about your place in the universe.
Also, that cool-creepy cover is an original photo by my über-talented wife, Dawn Sketch. Like some tv detectives who always get their man, Dawn always gets the shot, the one best, greatest keeper!

Nice, concise tutoria by Scott Kelby. Long exposures for b/w. Anybody can do this at twilight or after dark, but Scott shows us how to do it in full daylight (shameful, right?). Check it out and learn!

historic Detroit Club
Last fall we had a cool secret project and now we can talk about it! We were commissioned to photograph the historic Detroit Club at Cass and Fort. The club dates back to 1882 and the current building is about ten years newer. Lots of history has taken place here.
