Weather Station Migration to weeWX on Raspberry Pi

Weather Station Migration: Mac to Raspberry Pi I have been running a Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station in my backyard for just under four years now. The area I live in has so many microclimates that if you don’t like the weather you can drive 5 minutes and be in completely different weather. As […]

Photography backup and archiving – plan for disaster

Photography Backup - Meme

Protecting your work with a successful photography backup plan I’ve been asked how I protect my artwork, images and related information with a dedicated photography backup plan. I take a belt and suspenders approach with multiple copies on and off site using both free and subscription services. When approaching a backup solution or plan, first […]

Albrightsville Pennsylvania Weather Station

Albrightsville Pennsylvania Weather Station UPDATE: Due to reasons beyond my control, the weather station is down until further notice … One of my hobbies/interests outside of photography is meteorology and weather tracking. Living in Albrightsville Pennsylvania up in the Poconos we have many microclimates. It is so bad the weather reports on the news are hardly ever close to accurate […]

Site Upgrade – WordPress 4.6, Plugins & More

Upgrade: Maintain Speed

Upgrade – Maintain Speed! Installed the WordPress 4.6 upgrade, as well as a couple other changes and tweaks this evening. Firstly, updated the backend to the current version.

Notre Dame Cathedral – Plotagraph

Notre Dame Cathedral – Plotagraph I’m still playing around with my Plotagraph Pro software subscription and learning how to best work with it … here’s a photo from Notre Dame last year that I edited with On1 Photo Suite & the clouds animated via Plotagraph – was a bit tricky due to the fish eye lens – […]

Lightroom to Instagram Plugin

Push photos from Lightroom to Instagram So for years I’ve had a dormant Instagram account that I rarely used as it was too much work to move photos from Lightroom over to my desktop to sync to my phone to post… it was a royal pain in the ass. A couple of days ago, I stumbled […]

Plotawhat? Plotawhere? Plotagraph – Animated Photos Came across a pretty interesting software package today over at Trey Ratcliff‘s Stuck in Customs blog. Trey is one of my favorite photographers, and he is also the one that turned me onto my PeakDesign gear, so I trust him when he gets jazzed on a technology. Essentially, Plotagraph […]

Jester and King Cake

Riverwalk Jester

Court Jester at New Orleans Riverwalk Another photo, this one of a Jester,  from our trip to New Orleans French Quarter last weekend. American Airlines lost our checked luggage for two days, and they were kind enough to pay for Jen to go on a small shopping trip to pick up a few “necessary and reasonable” items […]

Sunset over Albrightsville

Sunset over the Pocono Mountains (Albrightsville, PA)

Sunset photos from 100 Feet over Albrightsville Still getting the hang of the Phantom 3 – as well as third party applications. Tonight it finally stopped threatening to rain, and the wind died down here in Albrightsville Pennsylvania, so I took out the drone and fired up a new app I grabbed: AutoPilot (iOS: App Store) and […]
