iPhone 4s -> Photos

Since I traded in the old iPhone 3gs for the new iPhone 4s, my photo taking productivity has increased significantly. That’s the good thing. The bad thing is that my photo taking productivity has increased significantly and I haven’t touched my Canon 7D in weeks! I’ve found that the new 8MP camera and optics have really [...]

Fun With Sphero -> GoSphero

Fun With Sphero from GoSphero on Vimeo.

Not much else to say, other than this Sphero thing is rad, and I think it will be as big as the Rubic’s Cube (or at least it should be in my opinion). Such a great concept and design! I ♥ Sphero!

Notes from Vimeo:

“Sphero is the world’s first robotic [...]

NYC Photos -> JHSINDESIGN

The above photos are a few highlights from my recent NYC trip. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my “hobbyist photography” efforts. I’m still loving the Canon 7D. I still haven’t found the time to take any serious HD video with it, hoping to do so this summer. Especially since I’ve added [...]

Lundberg Loses It -> Kenny Luby

Lundberg Loses It from Kenny Luby on Vimeo.

This video is incredibly well done and guaranteed to keep you at the edge of your seat. I really like the purposeful transition from monochrome to color as well as the atmospheric timelapse effects. Watch it fullscreen and in HD for the best ride.

Excerpt from Vimeo:

“Hello. The idea [...]

Tilt-Shift Generator -> iPhone App

I just discovered this amazing iPhone app called ‘TiltShift Generator’ available at the app store for just 99¢. It’s a fantastically efficient and easy to use app that generates a very nice tilt-shift effect on your iphone pics. I’ve been trying it on on some of my landscape photos from my Flickr stream as well, [...]

Wide Angle & Macro Lens Adapter -> Photojojo

I love toys, especially toys that enhance the toys that I already have. Photojojo just added a wide angle and macro lens adapter for SLR cameras to their photo-centric product line. Seems like a nice way to get some extra miles out of that old lens you’re getting a little tired of.

2010 Holiday Photos -> JHSINDESIGN On Flickr

Over the holidays I took some time away from blogging, reading twitter updates and checking in with Facebook… pretty much all of my usual online activity was reduced to a minimum. It was nice. I spent Christmas with family in San Francisco at my sister’s place, ate WAY too much food, chased my nephews around [...]

Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse Time Lapse -> William Castleman

Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse from William Castleman on Vimeo.

For those of us who weren’t able to see the moon last night because of cloud cover or the need to sleep, we’re lucky to have folks out there like University of Florida professor William Castleman who put forth the effort to capture this rare winter solstice full lunar [...]

The Emerald City of Seattle -> Photo Book (Full Preview)

The Emerald City of Seattle by James H Schneider jr | Make Your Own Book

It’s been almost exactly six months since I published my first Seattle photo book called ‘So Far Seattle’, using the Blurb book making application. I made a promise to myself that I would publish a second book featuring moments from the [...]

Happy Halloween -> iPhone Pics/Tumblr

Recently, I’ve been having a lot of fun posting to my ‘Chris Kalani’ themed Tumblr blog (Chris Kalani is the designer and creator of yayeveryday.com). For the most part I use the blog to post daily pics from my iPhone or some of my shots from my Canon 7D. Halloween is one of my favorite [...]

Experimental Tribute -> Chris Carter

Experimental Tribute from Chris Carter on Vimeo.

Alright, I just had to post this video. I stumbled upon it tonight while browsing some stuff on Vimeo. Myself, being a bit of a ‘pedal head’ brought on from hours of experimenting with my guitar has led me to become interested in outrageous configurations like this. Very fun, and very surreal.

My Photography Update -> Shooting with the Canon 7D

You may have noticed (probably not), that I haven’t posted in about a week. In case this is your first visit to circuitbreaks, that is a rare occurrence. I usually post 4-5 times a week… What have I been doing? Well, I took some time off around Labor Day, saw some bands at ‘Bumbershoot‘, the [...]

Photography Update -> Shooting the Canon EOS 7D

I’m happy to report that I received my long awaited Canon EOS 7D in the mail from B&H Camera last Thursday and I’ve been tinkering with it ever since, despite a head cold and some pretty drippy and unusually cold weather (for August). Right out of the box I knew I had made the right [...]

Mannequin Portraits -> JHSINDESIGN Flickr Set

Last weekend I caught myself taking another randomly found mannequin photo while walking around the Fremont Sunday outdoor market (the top black and white image). Over time I’ve accumulated a few these mannequin shots, so I’ve decided to create a little Flickr photo set of them that I hope to expand upon. More beyond the [...]

Seattle Photo Update -> JHSINDESIGN

Here are some recent highlights from my ‘So Far Seattle’ photo set on Flickr. The city of Seattle continues to throw me amazing photo opportunities. I’ve been sticking to mostly urban shots lately but I plan to broaden my subject matter this summer by venturing into some of the amazing mountain parks and shoreline areas.  I’ll keep [...]
