Goose and West-African Crowned Crane

Posted
GooseWest-African Crowned CraneWhat do a goose and West-African crowned crane have in common? Other than that they both are birds and can be seen at San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal park, not a lot. Well, I guess they also have in common that they can be seen in my Animals of San Diego Zoo collection. So far the collection is birds other than Mr. Meerkat, but I do have some other animals of the non-feathered variety in my collection that may yet see the light of day, but the birds that I photographed that day sure do fascinate me more than anything else it seems.





The animals of the Wild Animal Park can be see either in a slideshow gallery or in a static html gallery better suited to visitors without broadband.

Claudio at the Beach – A Campy Tribute to Raymond Neher

Posted
Claudio at the Beach — original painting by Raymond Neher, beach reimagining by John Corney. Today I'd like to share a piece with a particular story behind it. The original painting is the work of my late friend Raymond Neher, a San Francisco artist who died in 2004, and whose humour and warmth lived in every brushstroke. When Raymond died, he left me all of his unsold work — a body of paintings I've come to think of as a quiet ongoing trust, to share where I can. The Painting, and Raymond Raymond painted this portrait of a former partner of his — a man named Claudio. What I love about it is the gentle joke baked into its composition. The painting is treated entirely seriously: a centred, almost classical portrait, the figure framed by a dark canopy of black umbrella, the gaze level, the bearing dignified.

Taking Photos in RAW DNG Format with Mobile Devices

Posted
Note: This post was originally published on January 16, 2017, as the second part of a three-part series on RAW format mobile photography. Some details — particularly the apps' feature sets, Android versions, and the state of mobile RAW photography — have changed considerably since then. I've left the original text in place as a record of where things stood at the time. Following on from yesterday's post ( What is RAW photography format? ), today I am going to share with you some ways you can take RAW DNG (digital negative) files using an Android device such as a smartphone or tablet. Currently I am using a Google Pixel XL smartphone running on Android 7.1.1 (Nougat). If you haven't yet read yesterday's post, I recommend that you take the time to do so to give you an understanding of the advantages of taking your photos in RAW format. Android Apps That Allow You to Take Photos in RAW Format Currently, these are the two apps I use on my Google Pixel XL ...
