A couple of weeks ago I spent a considerable amount of time chasing down bugs involving null in a large code base: null checks after a variable had already been dereferenced, nulls passed to methods that would immediately dereference them, equals() methods that didn’t check for null, and more. Using FindBugs, I identified literally...

But still the best shot I’ve managed with the new DSLR setup so I thought it was worth posting. Setting the aperture to f/8.0 and using a flash helps a lot. The advantage to shooting honeybees is that they’re common, easy-to-find, and not especially nervous around people or cameras. In fact, in most locations they seem to easily...

OK. I can’t hold my mouth any longer. Star Trek is dead and J.J. Abrams killed it. The latest movie has finally put Star Trek in the ground far more effectively than Star Trek V ever did. Although technically a good movie (unlike Star Trek V)– well plotted, well shot, and adequately acted–it has destroyed the franchise. More...

I know the EOS50D is saving a JPEG with each raw file because Lightroom finds and displays them before switching to the raw image. However after mounting the memory crd in the Mac Finder, all I see are raw images: Nor can I get Lightroom to load the JPEGs as separate files, only as previews, depsite checking the preference to “Treat JPEG...

Yesterday at the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in Modjeska Canyon, I spent a lot of time looking at this hummingbird: The classic distinction between a male Anna’s and a male Costa’s is that the Anna’s has a red gorget while the Costa’s has a purple gorget. The problem is that the much more common (around here at least)...

I shoot raw images with an EOS50D. I load them off the card using Lightroom 2.0. Then I start paging through them. The first time I see a photo it’s a plausible, nice neutral tone. Then Lightroom thinks for a few seconds while displaying the message “Loading…”, adjusts something, and the whole photo is suddenly a lot...

I skipped Moth Monday last week because, although I had a couple of good new moths, no one had ID’d them yet. A week later and they still haven’t been ID’d though, so maybe it’s time to post one here and see what folks think. This is from Mountain View Shoreline in Santa Clara County, just off the salt ponds, about 6:00...
