My First Lunar Eclipse

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: December 21, 2010
It’s very still and freaky. Somehow freakier than when Hale Bopp graced the sky in 1997. It’s one thing to have an unusual visitor appear out of nowhere, but quite another for a standard fixture like the Moon to go all Twilight Zone on you! As unsettling as it is now, imagine [...]

Baritone Army Photo Gallery

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: November 23, 2010
On Saturday, October 30th, 2010, Stefan Zeniuk’s Baritone Army waged war against the vile tranquility of Prospect Park. These are photos I took during the mission. My previous entry featured a video documentary shot by Search & Restore’s Adam Schatz. In Low Notes We Trust Over the last five or six years, most of my [...]

Redwood Photography of Mario Vaden

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: January 26, 2009
I received a comment on my blog entry "High"-perion from Mario Vaden, an arborist and landscaper from Oregon.  He’s put together a remarkable website with photo galleries of remote redwood valleys, including images of Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world. The existence of these photos is impressive, for many of these trees stand far from [...]

Jaguar and Seltzer

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: September 21, 2008
I made myself a light tent out of grocery bags, shipping tape, and cardboard and clamped fluorescent lights to my piano bench. I’d post a picture of the setup here, but no, it’s just too ridiculous. Anyway, here’s a picture of my favorite Matchbox car: Matchbox Jaguar XK 2006 I accidently froze my seltzer, which [...]

Cayucos Beach Pictures

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: August 7, 2008
I didn’t take a lot of pictures on vacation last week. All the running around for gigs and meals and stuff was pretty hectic, and half the time I didn’t even bring my camera. I did, however, spend good quality beach time in the early mornings. The beach was right across the [...]

Fourth of July Buggers

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: July 5, 2008
I’m at home in CT for the holiday this weekend. Just having some fun taking closeups of insects and spiders in the yard.  I used the built-in flash on these shots in order to hand hold at very small apertures.  Up this close, the depth of field becomes very shallow, so the small aperture [...]

Black Swan Pas de Deux

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: December 29, 2007
Hey, guess what?  There are black swans!  According to the Wikipedia article, Cygnus atratus are from Australia.  I took these pictures of one in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. I poked around Wikipedia for something interesting.  Black Swan Pas de Deux is from the third scene of Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake.  "In ballet, a pas de deux [...]

Pinhole CFL

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: November 16, 2007
I made my first pinhole lens! Very crudely, I might add. All I did was tape aluminum foil over the lens mount on my digital SLR and poked a tiny, tiny hole in the center with the tip of a pin. Pinhole lenses usually require long exposure times because they let so [...]
