A post over on This Week in Photography got me thinking about my memory cards and the rituals or practices I take to conserve my image data. As they suggested over at TWIP, I do format my cards in camera prior to using. This in-camera formatting optimizes the data sectors and creates folders to organize ...
personal, technical, thoughts, tips and tricksI know web links are typically done on Wednesdays, but a little schedule change was in order given the recent news from this corner of the internet. So, for this Friday, here’s some stuff I read around the web recently: Brian Reyman of Professional Snapshots has released a beta version of a neat Flash program ...
Canon, Friday Follies, Lighting, News, technical, tips and tricks, web linksWe all know that tungsten light is a warmer light (think regular light bulbs) and fluorescents and flash produce cooler lighting. While it makes sense, until I read an article by Peter Kolonia in Popular Photography, I have never thought of combining warm and cool light to produce different effects in a photograph. Since I’ve ...
Articles, Flash, LightingWelcome to week 3 of the “What’s This?” series! Last week I had a close-up shot with some great guesses including carpet, a towel, and a toothbrush – but the answer, as it turns out, is a candle wick! I had cropped out a portion of it, to give kind of a different twist! Thanks ...
Sorry all, but the tutorial will likely be delayed (or possibly postponed) for this week. Some news came in today that needed some time away from the computer and camera world – reality checked in and demanded attention. I’l be back tomorrow with this week’s edition of “What’s This” and a walk around the web! ...
Announcements, News, personalDue to birthday circumstances, spousal attention requirements, and other frvolities of life, the tip for Tuesday has not been recorded yet. I will try to get that recorded, produced, and published today. In case it doesn’t make it out though, the teaser for it is that it covers displacement mapping with some pretty neat effects ...

Hello and welcome to Canon Blogger. So, what is this place really all about? So glad you asked! Canon Blogger is all about sharing. Sharing insights and experience from a photographer, blogger, an IT Professional for nearly ten years now, and most importantly, an educator! My name is Jason Anderson and I am the host of CB. I have been working with photography in various capacities for about seven years now.
As the name of the blog suggests, you probably know that my gear is based on the Canon family, specifically the EOS line. Don't worry though, as I have dabbled with Nikon, Pentax, and dating back to my youth, even the Vivitar line (specifically a 110 film camera), so content here is designed to be as device-agnostic as possible so everyone can get something from what I am sharing!
My goal is to share my experiences and thoughts on photography as I learn about it in hopes of helping those who have had, are having, or expect to have similar experiences, thoughts, and insights. After all, learning is all about sharing insights and perspectives. We can't learn if we aren't wiling to listen to others! If you like to learn about photography, whether it's be listening, reading, or just sharing experiences, then Canon Blogger is just the place for you!
So, welcome to the blog! Welcome to my website! Welcome to my own little corner of the internet where I share my own thoughts, perspectives and experiences on photography. Whether that comes in the form of gear reviews, in-depth articles, even contests and newsletters, all is aimed at helping others learn all about photography and the passion that can (and does surround) it as a truly inspirational form of expression! Join me in the adventures!
