- Aug 31 · I know the image isn't much, but it's a proof of concept to me. I hadn't realized that with the Speedlight I have, I can do high speed flash/shutter sync! I can get up to 1/2000 - which is well fast enough for the classic drops of water. The only trick now is getting the time and the energy to set it all up correctly so I can get something better than a small cereal bowl in a kitchen sink.
- Aug 30 · I couldn't get the effect I wanted at all. I probably took 50 pics trying to get it - and this was the best of them. Ah well.

- Aug 20 · I was actually trying to not get a direct shot of the weld - knowing how sensitive the sensors in these digital camera are, and knowing how much they cost to fix. However, I slipped up and took this shot. Running at a full second (on a tripod) this shot just came out more... interesting...

- Aug 14 · At some point, if I ever got really bored, I might turn into a birder - one of those people who gets really into taking pictures of birds in great detail. While I can respect the art and talent that goes into it, and as much as I like our little friends, I can't stay with them forever.
- Aug 13 · Lion Fish 3
- Aug 12 · Lion Fish 2
- Aug 11 · I took this photo some time ago (a month or more back) in the newly opened Sharjah Aquarium. Most of my shots came out blurry and poorly focused due to the low light conditions and the thick, curved glass of the tanks - but some of them really came out nice. Mostly of the lion fish, which is handy, as they really are the best looking fish there. Next few days will be an assortment of shots of these fish.

- Aug 5 · Paul Dezendorf, Happy 60th Birthday!So, in truth, this isn't my image at all. It was taken by our wedding photographer, Robin Lynn. I was trying to find a fitting photograph for today, and I couldn't. I really wanted something that had the both of us in it and was a personal moment of some kind - which means I have to rely on others to take the pics. I've been out of the country so long, it's hard to find good ones. So finally I settled on this - a few minutes after my wedding, giving my father a well deserved hug for the years of support and dedication he has shown to me.I love you dad. Happy 60th Birthday! Here's to many more!
