Inside a Masonic Lodge

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

I took some pictures of the inside of the Museum / Library / Lodge building today while I was there meeting up with a brother Mason.

Got some really good shots of the Lodge room proper, and I was able to make panoramic views from each officer’s position in the room.

I’m really proud of this shot:

Camera Experiments with New Lighting

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Did some experiments with the new DIY clamp light / diffuser setup today and was pretty happy with the results. Will have a nicer arrangement on the dining room table sometime this week and can do more testing then.

Disk Upgrade Done, More Projects Ahead

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Upgraded the disks on my home setup today. Went from a pair of Hitachi 500G Deskstar drives to a pair of Western Digital WD10EADS “Green” (power-saving, cooler-running) disks.

One disk is primary external storage, while the other is the Time Machine backup disk for both my internal hard drive on the Mac Mini and the data on the other 1T external disk.

Tomorrow’s project is to move my Windows gaming PC back into the “lab” room where it belongs, clean up the dining room, and then setup the clamp lights I bought today as a cheap DIY photo studio for experimentation.
