I’ve caved in and I am checking what twitter is all about.
I can be followed at http://twitter.com/KAPnRob
There are so many twitterers (probably have the lingo wrong) that it is impossible to get anything resembling your own name without corrupting it with numbers or weird characters. So I have made my own version of Craig Wilson’s [...]

The Citadel was my second stop to KAP on my one day visit to Halifax. Light was poor, but when you are only in town for one day and the wind is good, then you do what you can.
These images were created by suspending a camera in a remote-controlled rig on a kite line. The [...]

I post these images simply to mark the occasion of meeting Craig Wilson, the famous and infamous kite aerial photographer of Madison, Wisconsin. Craig and I agreed that this KAP should be written off as a non-KAP. The light was so poor this evening and 98% of my shots were blurred (higher ISO would have [...]

This post demonstrates a process known as “Fake Tilt-Shift” carried out in PhotoShop or other image editing software.
After a mere two weeks of playing with the creation of these miniatures, I don’t imagine I’ve become an expert yet. However, I took the opportunity to share what I’d learned with my camera club, the Camera Club [...]
