Although I didn’t film this with my K-x, I thought it would be interesting to post. On Thursday a flash storm blew into NYC in the blink of an eye and actually developed into 2 confirmed tornados. This was filmed with my flip camera, looking out my window towards Manhattan. It was intense.
Color is a powerful tool in photography. I use it all the time to make some of my HDR photos really pop. While browsing this morning I found a pretty good article on lifehacker.com that explains some basics about color theory, and then goes on to show you how to use color as a tool.

I am sure that you are all familiar with this by this product by now, if you want to call it that. It is of course the iPhone 4 and I would hardly call it a “product”, it is more of a technological beautiful achievement. So of course I pre ordered it on the first day, and actually received it a day early. As excited as I was to play with the new features the first thing I did was stick it in the white box and get some shots of it with the Pentax. Here is what I did… Read the rest of this entry »
