Description of Pictures: Includes a lot of testing with the new Nikon D90 camera trying to figure out the proper settings to get decent pictures without them being too huge. Some of the images ended up being over 5MB apiece. Basically, there are a number of settings that impact picture quality -- medium (3216x2136) and large (4288x2848) settings as well as basic, normal, and fine settings. Image sizes: basic = 1MB, normal = 2MB, fine = 4MB. Frankly, pictures came out pretty well no matter what setting I had them on.

2009 photos: Overnight trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
