Joe Kueser's Blog Another Geek Finding His Place on the Web

Guess what?! I got a fever, and the only prescription…

No, despite popular belief, the only prescription is not more cowbell. For me, the only prescription is lots of expensive toys.

The fever I gots is the photography bug. I guess that makes me a...

shutterbug |ˈ sh ətərˌbəg|
noun
informal
an enthusiastic amateur photographer.

It started with a trip to Hawaii where I took a boatload of pictures. Then one of my co-workers had to go and point me to HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. WOW!

So, I’ve decided I’m going to start up yet another hobby, photography. As near as I can figure, it’s going to be one of the costliest hobbies I’ve ever taken on. Much to my surprise, when I brought the idea up to my wife, she didn’t complain about the cost, instead she said, “Oh, you’d be good at that, and would really enjoy it. That would really be good for you.”

So, wish me luck. Should be an interesting ride.

    Great pictures, Joe! One request – please don’t ever show us Rich B’s legs again!

    By the way, could you share your setup with us? I’m hoping GG didn’t convince you to go the Nikon route.

      Thanks, Tony…and sorry about Rich’s legs.

      I haven’t decided on a setup yet. Probably a Canon or Nikon dSLR
