2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics

A bit of shameless self-promotion but this photo of Canada Place is currently on display at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. I think it is probably displayed at Canada Place since it is the main press center for the Olympic Games. Lindsey Vonn probably doesn’t have time to read photo blogs but it would also be [...]

New Canada Photos Gallery

After two months worth of blog posts, I have finally finished processing my photos from Canada and added them to my website. Feel free to take a look at my Canada pictures gallery which includes sub-galleries for Vancouver and Victoria as well. I will also eventually be adding a few of my mom’s pictures when [...]

Pete McCloskey Movie: Leading from the Front

If you’re in the San Francisco area on Sunday July 5th at 6 p.m., then check out the hour-long documentary on KQED Channel 9, Pete McCloskey: Leading from the Front. Pete McCloskey, a former California Republican Congressman, is best known for co-authoring the Endangered Species Act in 1973.
The above image from the Eastern Sierras was [...]

Nature Photography Multimedia Video

Nature Photography Multimedia Video
Since giving the nature photography lecture at the Sierra Club in March, I had been looking for ways to get parts of my presentation online. It wasn’t until I picked up the Canon 5D Mark II recently that I was able to figure out how to put all of the pieces [...]

New Mexico Photo Gallery Update

I updated my website’s gallery of New Mexico pictures with photos from the recent trip. I’m kind of tapped out on travel photography so the next time I visit New Mexico I’d like to focus on landscapes and nature photography. Locations I’m considering are White Sands National Monument, Shiprock, and Bosque Del Apache National Monument. [...]

Canon 5D Mark II HD Video

Canon 5D Mark II HD Video
I took the camera out to a local park in the foothills for my first official test run. I clearly have a lot to learn about videography. (I’m not even in focus!)
Taking a break from New Mexico blog posts, tomorrow’s blog post will probably be of interest to [...]

Salton Sea Photos

Check out the new gallery of Salton Sea pictures on my website. The photos were made during two visits this winter in addition to my first visit in the winter of 2005. It is a creepy place for sure but a fascinating subject to photograph if you put some time into it.

Sierra Club

Photography Website Re-Launch

I would like to announce that I have relaunched my photography website: Richard Wong Photography: Image Boutique
The previous design was a very personal one for me as it related to my family history but it didn’t integrate well with other forms of media. I needed something where I could tie together all of my online [...]

New Redwood Coast Web Gallery

If you’ve been following my blog for the past month, you probably know that I went on my first trip up to California’s North Coast. So now I have uploaded a gallery of images onto my website:
Redwood Coast Photos
Thanks.

The Golden State Photos Magazine

I just got the proof back from my first magazine and I am impressed with how well the photos were reproduced on the pages. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about other photographers not being happy with the print quality of their images from various book publishers and magazines so I’m happy the report [...]

“Like Heaven” Travel Photography Video

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heoQ1tCzp2Q] “Like Heaven” Travel Photography Video
Introducing my 4th YouTube video. I thought this would be a cool way to bring some of my travel photos to life. Still pictures might be a static medium, but they don’t have to look like it.
Update 7/11/08: I uploaded a re-mixed version.

My First YouTube Video – Landscape Photography Slideshow

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzwnp8iX9x8]
I took it upon myself to scribble down a few chord changes and then record my own background track last night. I picked up an effects pedal from Guitar Center the other day and recorded this while plugged directly into the computer. I’m still trying to figure out how to cut out the silent part [...]

New Screen Saver for Sale: Colors of the Southwest

My mom’s co-worker used to live up at Big Bear Lake and bought a Big Bear computer screen saver because he missed the place so much. He let me borrow the disc the other day and that gave me an idea for creating my own screensaver to sell off of my website.
Product: Colors of [...]

ColorMakesFlowers.com Website Launch

My mom’s custom floral arranging and craft design website has partially launched. I created two gallery pages yesterday and added the About Page. I finally got around to photographing her work the past few days and will be adding more to the website shortly.
Feel free to take a look at the website: Color Makes Flowers: [...]

Notice something different?

I was looking through the PhotoShelter customization tutorial yesterday and found out how to make a Favicon. A favicon is the little colorful logo next to the url on your browser bar. Most websites don’t have one yet but many internet companies do nowadays. You have to have Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox to see [...]

PhotoShelter Amendment & Floral Arrangements

So I was a little out of date regarding the Digital Railroad Marketplace v.s. PhotoShelter comparisons. Previously when I had looked at PhotoShelter last year they didn’t have a marketplace stock agency feature so I assumed that only DRR had one. Well I was wrong. PhotoShelter has a marketplace as well, it’s on their first [...]
