The Universal Globe HDR, originally uploaded by mattwitmer.
I have been home for about a week now and have just begun to skim the surface of photos I have taken. If Apple’s Aperture did not exist I would be in some serious pain. My main focus for this vacation was HDR, so needless to say I [...]
The Universal Globe
Summer Vacation 2008
As I write this, I am frantically trying to assemble my suitcase and carry-on for our early flight to Orlando tomorrow morning. This will be my bazillionth time going to Disney World but it will be my first time, in a long while, at Universal Studios and Seaworld. I can’t guarantee I will post at [...]
New Glass, Once again
Self-Portrait, originally uploaded by mattwitmer.
A few days ago, I purchased another piece of glass to add to my photographic arsenal. Some say that this piece, the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, is the best piece of glass Nikon has ever made and I must agree.
Because of it’s f/1.8 aperture, it functions incredibly well in low light. This [...]
Cirque Du Soliel - Kooza
If you are reading this, you probably don’t know it, but I graduated from high school last Thursday (June 12th). It was a hot ceremony, that was held for the first time in my school’s history (4 or so years) outdoors. The shenanigans ended at around 8pm and we arrived to dinner at the Seven [...]
Drive America - An Epic Road Trip
Lately, I have been working on a bunch of different things for some friends going on an epic road trip late next week. Unlike your typical roadtrip, this one will be completely decked out with tech.
The crew and I have outfitted the trunk of the Ford Explorer with a Shuttle PC, which will be accessed [...]
Pownce Photo Contest
Pownce Contest Entry #1, originally uploaded by mattwitmer.
Pownce, the up and coming social networking website, announced a few days ago that they were running a contest to find the best photo with their logo.
I am a big Pownce fan, so I took the vector version of their logo and blew it up to fit an [...]

Mulch, originally uploaded by mattwitmer.
I have returned to the site known as Flickr. My main reason for the return is the social networking aspect of the site. It really allows you to get great feedback on your photography as well as meet many new people.
This photo was taken with the new 70-200mm f/2.8 and is [...]
Vector Freebie: Route Sign
The latest craze across the internet, in various niches, is the idea of freebies, especially in the design community. So I figured, Hey, why don’t I join in.
I was recently working on a T-Shirt design for the epic adventure that three high school graduates will be taking in a couple of weeks (DriveAmerica). And in [...]
To Infinity and Into Space?
Today NASA announced that on the upcoming Shuttle mission, they would have a very special plastic guest by the name of Buzz Lightyear. I don’t think Zurg (pictured), Sworn Enemy of the Galactic Alliance (Buzz’s Employer), would like this idea at all. This is being done in conjunction, of course, with the Walt Disney Company [...]
A Must Have Widget
Well, if you watch the news, or even surf the internet you have probably heard of NASA’s latest creation to land
on Mars. It is the Phoenix Lander and it is suppose to relay massive amounts of information on the polar caps of Mars. That being said, it will only being doing so for a couple [...]
