Review of the Manfrotto 055CXPro3
Posted by Kyle Lexmond in Photography, Uncategorized on December 16, 2012
I picked up a Manfrotto 055CXPro3 tripod for Christmas 2011. At that time, I started off writing a short review of it, comparing it with my then-current 055XProB. Amazon shipping no problem, earlier than expected price went up after I put it in the cart though center column was damaged in transit, cosmetic marks made […]
Fun with Python and image processing

Today I got to work with something I’ve been meaning to for a while – Image processing with Python, in particular the PIL/Pillow library. (Pillow’s a forked, more up to date version of PIL, and it’s in PyPi.) So about 30 minutes after planning and googling and reading the docs, I have a first version […]

Ideally, I’d like a tripod that’s under $250 ($300 max), and folds up small enough to hang off the side of my bag. Or get strapped underneath it. Essentially, limited to the […]

So. Faced with a trip to Japan next Feb, and Uni after that, it’s time to take stock of stuff.

So… it’s been almost exactly a year? Clearly I do not use a blog. But just when you thought this was dead… I’m STILL ALIVE! === Now that I’ve paid homage to one of the many internet memes, more about what’s going on with me. busybusybusy. About 2 weeks before school begins again, and I’m […]
