Testing the O-Flash – Self Portrait

I ended up finally pulling the trigger on picking up one of Photojojo‘s latest toys, the O-Flash ring flash adapter.  When they first announced it a few weeks ago, I was definitely intrigued, however wasn’t sure how quality a $40 ring light adapter would be. 

Shutter speed and flash syncing

My last post on the Pixel Knight TR-332 TTL wireless flash triggers here had no photos of my own, just some vids on flash triggers and how the syncing worked (or didn’t work) on various cameras. This is more of that technobabble. Although unlike my

Pixel Knight TR-332 Wireless TTL Flash Triggers Review

Recently I took a chance and purchased the Pixel Knight TR-332 Wireless TTL Flash Triggers from Gadget Infinity and thought I’d give them a shot on my 20D.  The danger here is that all of the documentation says that they don’t work on the 20D

Twenty Days With Julian – 01

In late January, I went to shoot my buddy’s band, Escalon, at The Boardwalk out in Orangevale.  It was a fun night hanging out with a few friends, meeting new people, and listening to some good local bands.  I haven’t been to many shows in

Bockbier Girls

Back in April, I went to the Sacramento Turn Verein Bockbierfest.  This was definitely a fun experience, hanging around a bunch of people who love great food, and of course great beer.  This includes my buddies Rico and Joe (Rico’s the surprised one above, Joe’s

Steve’s White iPhone 4

Steve managed to snag himself a white iPhone 4! Well, not really. He actually had his black iPhone 4 modified it through iFixDirect, who now offers color swaps for the iPhone 4.  Looks pretty damn good to me, even the headphone jack and dock connector

Will It Go?
