A question about growing amaryllis outdoors?

By admin - Last updated: Thursday, March 11, 2010

I started an amaryllis outdoors this spring. The foliage has grown steady and is quite beautiful. I kept the package that it came in and reread it, and it said that the flowers appear before the foliage. Is mine a dud? I haven’t seen any inkling that it’s even trying to form a flower stalk. Has this ever happened to you?

p.s. I’m in zone 7. I already know I’ll need to dig it up in the fall and store it through the winter. Just letting you know you’re not talking to a gardening newb, just an amaryllis newb:)

Photography – Controlling Highlights?

By admin - Last updated: Thursday, March 11, 2010

I’ve only been into photography for close to two years, I have just came off of an Olympus E510 to an EOS 50D.

Most of what I do is outdoors/landscape, low light indoors, architectural, evening city-scape shots etc. One of my biggest gripes with the E510 (other than the nasty white balance control, in which Custom WB mode was no better), was it’s noise factor and high light clipping. I have found that my new Canon exceeds the Oly in these areas but high light clipping is still something the photographer battles (even with full frame cameras).

What are some your best methods for controlling high lights if you are an amature with no metering gear ?

I use a Canon EOS 50D, and like the 40D, there is a high light tone priority mode but this reduces my ISO expandability option and I cannot shoot in ISO 100 when using this mode. Most people I have talk to do not use this feature. Is there a more preferable method for reducing high lights? I have found, that under exposing wasn’t always the solution, as I would also end up with too dark a scene/subject while doing this. For example, if I took some shots along the coast on a foggy/cloudy day and light being as poor as it is on those days, underexposing would only resul in too dark a scene, yet grays in the sky become too white, loosing the detail in the clouds. The closest thing I have found was spot metering but this delivers me a mixed bag of results, perhaps because the meter jumps around like crazy and I’m not exactly sure where I should be locking the exposure in on. HDR is great but are there any more “on the fly” solutions? Perhaps tweaking out contrast settings?

Jetboil personal cooking system

By admin - Last updated: Thursday, March 11, 2010


Review and testing of the fantasic jetboil personal cooking system. Its lightweight and self contained system is great for the day hike or extended treks. Very effecient cooking system and will boil 2 cups of water in under a minute. I’ve not used mine in the field yet, but I can already see that it will be an asset. If used for boiling water for trail meals or for making a snack, it is great.
