几周前与Patrick Rothfuss一起做过一期节目。这是开始前的一幕！:) 想观看完整节目，点击http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0enw-G5Din0。
这段“秀前小秀”纯属无意之作，里面谈到了D&D、节目编排、Infocom Games、睡觉等等……
一大早，我便跑去冰岛的一处低地区。一阵大雾迅速席卷大地，并吞没了远处的小丘——就像是电脑游戏中的情景。它是如此不真实，我差点忘记掏出相机。真奇怪……我去那里不就是为拍照的吗？！

我的Facebook个人资料 (可以订阅哦)已经使用了最新的时间表功能，不过可能也得开启Facebook此功能才能看得到。也许大家都已经激活了？如果你们已经在使用了，喜欢吗？
明日下午1:30（太平洋时间）关注 Live.Twit.TV现场，不见不散！到时会有关于摄影及其它话题的丰富讨论！
多么神奇的地方，可惜我只待了一晚。
如果你喜欢鸟，可能就会看出个一二。冰岛以其丰富的鸟类闻名，可以看到后方的峭壁上就栖息着许多。

最近去福罗里达看望 Scott Kelby，还见到了他的“装备”。在摄影棚里，我还和好朋友RC Concepcion做了一期D Town。底下你们也会看到，无限美啊……
这是我第一次涉足黑沙海滩，更诡异的是足足八个小时没有看到第二个人。
黑色的沙子发出的声响介于普通的沙子与积雪之间。一脚踩上去吱吱咯咯，还带着饱含水分的吸气声。
这里离冰岛新近一处喷发的火山不远，离维克镇也很近，就坐落在高大而狭窄的山脉另一侧。开车去哪儿都可以——任何地方都行，这不禁让人既好奇又畏惧。所以我沿着黑色的沙滩一直开，直到此处…… 就好像“天际”游戏(Skyrim)中邪恶的绘图人之手笔。

我已经用了好一阵子，真爽(我的Google 主页)！请大家在留言时留下个人主页信息，方便圈人。也许该弄个 “Stuck In Customs” 圈子，让大家结识同道中人？要我说是个好主意！
记不记得几天前我说过，为什么在冰岛一拍马我就停不下来？忘掉我说的话，我都不知道当时说了些什么。 想停就停吧……不过，怎么会有人想错过这般景象？！
这些马让我想起了奥德修斯遇到的妖妇，诱惑着你偏离征途目标…… 不过，这个类比在此其实并不适用，因为我压根没什么具体的目的地，所以对这些诱惑自然也十分受用。
On October 11th, I’ll be heading over to the Google China offices in Beijing to give a talk on art, photography, HDR, and everything in between. If you’re part of the Google team here in China, then I look forward to meeting you!
If you missed my first Google Talk at their HQ in California, just follow that link.
I was in the southern area of Iceland, only a few kilometers from the big volcano eruption. There was still a bit of ash scattered around, and I was driving down random side-roads. I made a deal with myself that I would randomly take exits off the main highway to see what I could find. This was one of those occasions.
On the way back to the highway, I saw new things. It’s hard to have a 360-degree sense of all compositions while driving. Usually my viewing cone is fully stimulated at 180 degrees while moving forward! So, moving back and forth along roads sometimes provides surprises.
I had just spent a few hours around midnight on a black-sand volcanic beach on the shore. I was the only one there, as usual. It’s very creepy, in a way, being on a gigantic black beach in the middle of the night without another car or human anywhere in sight. And I know that it is even beyond my sight for a long way because I had not seen anyone on the drive there. I listened to music and took photos all the while, of course. And on the way back, I saw this tiny lit church against some distant mountains, so I popped out for another shot.
Hey everyone! On Sunday at 1:30 PM PST, I’ll be on The Tech Guy with Leo Laporte. You can tune in live to see me at Live.TWIT.tv. There is also a very easy to use Chat room there (see where it says “Popout Chat”?). We’ll be talking a lot about HDR, Photography, and other awesome geeky things.
The book is now out in a new Chinese version! We had some very good talks with Chinese publishers about this through Peachpit, and I think the final product looks pretty good! Now, I’m not totally sure (since I can’t read Chinese), but it looks like you can order it through this site.

I spent a several hours on a huge black sand beach. This was in the volcanic area of southern Iceland, not too far from the recent volcano eruption. Parts of the nearby town of Wik were still covered in ash while I was there, so it had sort of a light feeling of an Icelandic Pompeii.
There were no roads in this area, but I wanted to explore, so I drove my 4×4 boldly out into the black sand expanse. It’s strange just driving in a blue, soft morning light across an endless horizon of black sand. It’s almost like being in the middle of a huge black asphalt parking lot, with no lines, no curbs, and no end. Every few miles, enormous black rock structures would shoot up out of the flatness. I stopped at every one, almost like it was calling me.

Click on either of the two book covers to the right for more info.
And thank you very much everyone for trying these out! I’m glad you like these, and I do need to make more. But who has the time? I’d like to churn more of these out, but they do take a lot of thought and work… For now, these will have to do. But thank you for all the feedback and keep it coming! |

How awesome is his little gem in Iceland?
It’s a small town not too far from that big volcano called “Vik”. It is the home to many different birds, and a lot of them nest inside these tiny caves in the cliff walls. In this area just north of the town, the local residents decided to light the side of the cliff at night to give it a special feel.
When I was working on this new eBook, I was faced with quite a problem. I know all the common mistakes, but I did not feel like going out to grab random images off Flickr to critique them. As I point out the mistakes, it might be thought of as too mean-spirited as I rip apart other people’s hard work.
So, instead, I decided to grab 10 of my very first HDR images where I made all the same mistakes! It was a lot of fun, actually, to back trough all my old photos and point out everything I did wrong, and what I do now to correct these problems. Even though it is quite embarrassing to fill an eBook with so many awful photos, I am doing it for the good of the world!
I hope to get it out in the next few days… been working on it at night for the finishing touches!
Every night around 2 AM in Iceland was like a dream.
I’m always enjoyed staying up late… As Sarah McLachlan says, “Night is my companion.”
Sometimes, after midnight is when things really start to flow, so my two-week sleep reversal of staying up all night to drive around Iceland was a trippy experience. The weather was always strange. Sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy — but always with a tinge of the surreal.
On this night, I was driving along the south of Island about 100 km from the recent volcano eruption. I could see bits of ash here and there when the light was good, but then a nightfog rolled in and covered the ground. Streaming past countless little farms, the horses floated about while the mists swirled underneath them.
