Canon PowerShot s110 WiFi Setup The Canon PowerShot s110 WiFi Setup turned out to be a lot more difficult than I had expected. While connecting the Canon PowerShot s110 to my Samsung Galaxy S3 was a breeze connecting to my two computers turned out to be a royal battle. The Windows 8 attempt was a failure that you can read about here. Connecting to my Windows 7 notebook went a little easier with this pdf document which is also the image below. Click the image below. It will open in a new window, Due to the size of the image your browser may reduce the initial view to a little strip.

Canon PowerShot S110 WiFi and Windows 8

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Drew — 1 Comment ↓

Canon PowerShot S110 WiFi and Windows 8 Recently I decided I needed to purchase a decent point and shoot camera for my bicycling and fishing adventures. I ended up purchasing the Canon PowerShot S110 here as it seemed like the right camera at the right price. One of the features that attracted me to the Canon PowerShot S110 was the built in WiFi. I like WiFi in a camera as I can just come in the house, initiate a transfer and walk away. Or so I thought. One small detail was lost on me. There was not mention of Windows 8 being a compatible operating system. So I spent my first evening with the Canon PowerShot S110 trying to get Continue ReadingCanon PowerShot S110 WiFi and Windows 8→

It’s The Lens Not The Camera

It’s The Lens Not The Camera It’s very easy to get caught up in wanting the latest and greatest Nikon or Canon DSLR camera body but truth be told if you already own a decent body such as a Nikon D90, Nikon D7000, or a Canon 60D you would do far better saving your money for a professional quality lens. The points is unless your current camera does not do something you need you probably have little compelling reason to upgrade. However investing in a professional quality lens while a significant expense and most likely to cost more than a new body it is a purchase that will last many years and more importantly outlast many camera bodies. This Continue ReadingIt’s The Lens Not The Camera→

Depth of Field and Bokeh I was about assemble a blog post on Depth of Field & Bokeh when I happened across a wonderfully informative technical Adobe Acrobat .pdf file published by Carl Zeiss written by H.

My appologies for the lack of updates

Posted on December 23, 2012 by Drew — Leave a reply

It has been such a crazy several months. I spent all summer taking pictures with my Nikon D800 rather than talking about it. Then in September, Labor Day weekend to be exact I came down with some health issues. While that sucked it was an eye opener about lifestyle choices. Part of the new lifestyle change aside from eating right I have started cycling once again. I have always loved cycling but I got sidelined a few years ago from a fall I took while walking. Now I am so back into cycling that I even started a blog “The Practical Bike” in the hopes it will appeal to other similarly aged and experienced riders. Anyhow back to the task Continue ReadingMy appologies for the lack of updates→
