Daddy Day Camp Opens!
Welcome to the first day of “Daddy Day Camp” 2012!
I am starting this blog segment in an effort to exchange ideas with other Parents that might be needing some ideas for what to do with their kids this summer!
Over the past couple of days, I have been working with my kids to come up with a list of things they would like to do during the course of the summer on Monday’s and Tuesday’s, and here are a couple of ideas to start off with:
- Arts and Crafts
- Make Official T-Shirts
– Every camper has to have one!
– Very simple, just grabs some white t-shirts and markers and let them make their own!
– Let the kids design the logo!
- Make Official T-Shirts
- Education period
- Reading or Blogging
- Math
- Science!
- Library Time
- Both my kids have library cards, and we are going to take advantage of our great local library!
- Outdoor time
- Nature Walks
- Sports Play
We also plan to mix in chores (weeding, pick-up the lawn, etc.) and little projects (clean basement, paint mail box post, etc.) that are a benefit to the “Camp”.
There are plans to also visit local parks and museums!
So stay tuned for more details!

Neutral Density 3.0 filter arrived!
On Tuesday (6/6), I finally broke down on ordered a B+W 58mm (MC) #110 (ND 3.0) filter, from B&H Photo, and it just arrived today!
After opening it up, my first word were, “Holy Crap that is dark”!
One can barely see though the thing!
For those that may not know the lingo, a Neutral Density filter is used to reduce the amount of light entering into a camera, there by increasing the length of time for a correct exposure, which can be used for interesting effects!
A quick easy example of this, would be the blurring effect done to moving water.
I do have a set of Tiffen ND filters, that only increase the exposure by 2 stop (0.6), 3 stops (0.9) and 4 stops (1.2), but with this new filter, my range now jumps to 10 stops (3.0) stops!
Another translation, let’s say I have an exposure of 1/500th of a second, not too uncommon during the day time, but with this new filter, the exposure time would now increase to approximately 2 seconds!
Many of my water shoots, are shot in the 1 second range, but now that will increase to a possible 15 minute exposure, which should be very interesting!
Now I have to figure out what to do next!
Any suggestions?
