Ever wonder why we’ve heard photographers say that when taking your picture? Think about what happens when you do – your facial features open up, your mouth opens slightly, and you get a little upward curvature in the corners of your lips. (Unless of course you concentrate on specifically not doing that.) Whoever thought this ...

As technology has advanced though, more options have become available, and I have learned a lot more. So, in the spirit of keeping the blog topics up-to-date and current, I would like to ...
Adobe, lists, Photoshop(Courtesy of the NAPP forums) You know you are spending too much time in Photoshop when: You go into a sandwich shop and order a Gallery Wrap You wonder whether “Reduce Noise” will work on the kids You look for the healing brush to fix your drywall Your idea of hitting the snooze button involves ...
Content, lists, PhotoshopA Hallmark Holiday will be upon us tomorrow here in the U.S. The flower, chocolate, and teddy bear industries probably generate at least half (if not more) of their annual revenue from this weekend alone. As a photographer, you can take advantage of this in many ways (that’s right, there’s photo ops here too!) Here’s ...
personal, photography, thoughtsAs the day starts to fade into the last few hours, I realized nothing had been prepared for posting today. At times like this, I either decide to make it a “no blog” day, or put together a few brief thoughts, that are tied to photography. The latter won over today, so for the readers ...

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!
