Crystals Pure Honey Vista California
in Photography
I was in Old Town Temecula this morning at the Temecula Farmers Market. If you are going to go to the Farmers Market in Old Town Temecula, I highly recommend getting there at 8am when it opens. The crowd can grow pretty quickly and going early certainly helps.
My wife likes to buy local honey to help with allergies. There is a vendor that sells local organic honey from Vista, California. Crystal’s Pure Honey. It is pretty tasty.

Nick Carver Exhibit Casa Romantica San Clemente
in Photography
I was in San Clemente and decided to stop and take a look at Nick Carver's photo exhibit. I follow his channel and he seemed to be pretty excited about his own personal exhibit. The folks at Casa Romantica were very nice and allowed me to take a few photos and some video. I admire Nick's efforts and his YouTube channel. I think he did a great job on this exhibit and I wish him great success.

South Side Market Orange California
in Photography
I was driving up Glassell Street in the city of Orange in California the other day, and I passed this location. I really liked how the sun was hitting the marquee sign. I immediately did a U-turn, parked on a side street and got out my camera gear. I proceeded to take a nine-shot stitched panorama.

Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C
The Hasselblad 907X and CFV 100C were just announced. This is my kind of digital camera kit. I don’t think I would ever spend this kind of money on a camera, but I look forward to the secondary market where the prices are more my style.
PHP exifTool

Here is a great example of Php array code using Exiftool. This shows how to dump ExifTool Tag Names into an array. I moved this from my old blog if it looks familiar. I have used this on my own site, and it works great!

two different ways to do it here depending on what you like
============================================================================*/
//exec('exiftool -s ' . '"' . $path_to_image . '"', $exif_raw_array);
// note the -s flag returns tags with no spaces -n removes data formatting will work with either or none
exec('exiftool -s -n -Orientation -ImageWidth -ImageHeight -Title -ImageDescription -Keywords -Copyright -Artist -Make -Model -LensModel -FocalLength -FocalLengthIn35mmFormat -ShutterSpeedValue -ApertureValue -ISO -DateTimeOriginal -City -State -Country -Location -GPSSpeed -GPSAltitude -GPSLatitude -GPSLongitude ' . '"' . $path_to_image . '"', $exif_raw_array);
/*==========================================================================
extract tagname and tagname value from raw array
============================================================================*/
// note var_dump(exif_raw_array) to visualize what needs to be done
foreach ($exif_raw_array as $key => $value) {
$string_length_of_value_field = strlen($value); // need string length for calculation below
$position_of_colon = strpos($value, ':'); //get the position of the colon to use in calculation below
$exiftool_tagname = substr($value, 0, $position_of_colon); // shorten the full string starting at position 0 and ending at the colon
$exiftool_tagname = ltrim($exiftool_tagname); // trim any white space on the left that may exist
$exiftool_tagname = rtrim($exiftool_tagname); // trim any white space on the right that may exist
// done - now have $exiftool_tagname extracted by itself
// same technique as above just extracting the other end of the string
$exiftool_tagname_value = substr($value, ($position_of_colon+1), ($string_length_of_value_field-$position_of_colon));
$exiftool_tagname_value = ltrim($exiftool_tagname_value);
$exiftool_tagname_value = rtrim($exiftool_tagname_value);
// done - now have $exiftool_tagname_value extracted by itself
/*==========================================================================
enter variables into exiftool_final_array with predictable fields
============================================================================*/
$exiftool_final_array[$exiftool_tagname] = $exiftool_tagname_value;
/*==========================================================================

in Photography
Something about these little cottages makes me want to photograph them. I have several photos already, but had an idea to try a 180 panorama of all of them. I loaded up my nodal panorama head, and headed down to Oceanside. I ended up taking 16 photos. I used PTGui to stitch them together.

Dales Donuts Compton

I woke up early the morning after Thanksgiving otherwise known as Black Friday. Before sunrise, I drove out to Compton and took this shot that I had already shot using a digital panorama stitch technique. After getting the film back, I realized that I liked the film shot much better than the digital shot. I made a video explaining all this. I have embedded the video here.

The Gas Station Shot
in Photography
I realize that a photo of a gas station may be nothing to most people. I like this kind of shot. I am drawn to light and color. Gas stations that are well lit are a good example of color and light. I know that on YouTube these days, shots of gas stations are cliché. I almost did not take this shot just to avoid being cliché. I shot this with my Toyo-Field 45A with a 6x12 back, and then cropped it to 1x3, the same aspect ratio as a 6x17 negative. This is a drum scan and the resulting file is about 20,000 pixels wide. I can easily print this to about 6 feet wide, so I didn't lose anything by cropping it slightly on the top and bottom.

Tower 48
in Photography
California in the winter isn't really winter compared to the rest of the country. That being said, on a cold windy day, California outdoor people pretty much stay inside. I was near the beach on a cold day in December and decided to walk out onto the beach and take some black and white photos. I thought that this lifeguard tower being closed and boarded up was a perfect illustration of what California beach people do in the winter. They stay home.

I love me some Delta 100
in Photography
Ilford Delta 100 can definitely take a punch. I was out shooting with my Canon EOS-3 35mm film camera at Harveston Lake in Temecula a bit after sunrise when I took this shot. The sun was just outside the upper left corner of the frame. I overexposed this shot a bit so that the sky would be blown out and I would have detail in the foreground and a nice contrasty scene. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the negative back from the film lab and saw that I was able to come away with a decent shot with that much difference in light. I love me some Delta 100.

Donuts In The Fog
That morning, I was planning to head out at sunrise with my 4x5 view camera. I woke up to heavy fog. I went and got donuts instead. I grabbed my video camera and thought it would be fun to shoot a short video in the fog. I am not sure that I like the video. I did however enjoy the process of shooting each scene and then putting the final video together.

Leaving Las Vegas
in Photography
I was born and raised in California. In the mid 90s I moved to Las Vegas for about five years. When I came back to California I had to find a job before moving my family back to California. This took about six months to locate a job, get settled, and get a house for my family to live in. During this time I was commuting back and forth from Las Vegas to California on the weekends. It was during this time that I took this photo. Every time I see this photo it brings back the memory of commuting from Las Vegas to California on the weekends. I like this photo, it is a 35 millimeter slide that I decided to have drum scanned. The scan itself is gorgeous. I love this photo both for the photo itself and for the memories it evokes.

Sometimes I Am Not So Polite
in Photography
My view camera attracts a lot of attention. Wherever I go, when I'm taking photos with my view camera and somebody walks by, it is inevitable that they make a comment on the camera. The comment that I hear most often is, “Wow that is one of those old fashioned cameras.” I don't mind, it's a normal reaction. I'm not always receptive to people talking to me while I'm trying to concentrate on taking photos. Most of the time I politely ask them to give me a moment while I finish and then I will be happy to answer their questions. Sometimes I am not so polite, and tell people I am busy and can’t talk right now.
