Who Yu?

I try to walk Indy (my dog) daily. Most days I don’t have time until the evening. I enjoy walking around Tucson Auto Mall, which is a good 1.3 mile loop. I also get to take a look at the new vehicles from the different manufacturers. I was there at a great time tonight, it was dusk and you can still see a little blue in the sky.

I’ve heard about a event to introduce people to RC aircraft sponsored by the Sonoran Desert Flyers. It was held at Naranja Park in Oro Valley, Arizona. I love helicopters so I went there to check out the RC planes and helicopters. And also to take a few photos. These 3 RC helicopters are the Align T-Rex. They are all electric and very cool.

One area of photography I am trying to start a business in is Real Estate and Architecture photography. I’ve had a chance to visit a friend who has a beautiful home. This is just a quick test shot from my iPhone 4S but I’ve took a bunch with my Canon 7D. Coming soon, you can check out those photos on my new business website.

I just got a Canon Powershot S100, it’s been a hard to find camera that’s been sold out at most places. Other places I’ve found on the web are charging over MSRP. It will be a camera that I’m going to try to carry around daily. It will be one of the cameras I will use for 365 Project and other photography interest. The other cameras I will use are Canon EOS 7D and iPhone 4S. I haven’t decided if I want to retire my old Canon Powershot SD750 point & shoot. For now, I’ve hack it and install CHDK (Canon Hack Developer Kit)

Happy New Year!
Last year I heard about 365project.org where you take a photo a day and post it. I was interested in participating last year but I felt I wanted to start at the beginning of a year. Well here I am and a couple of days in. I’ve been thinking daily what do I need to shoot. Well after a few days of posting photos and descriptions, it looks like a blog. I thought to my self why am I leaving this blog in limbo with only 6 post a year. I need to post everything here too. So hopefully if I survive this task you are going to see a post a day for the next 365 days. Well, some days, you will see more than one post which is good because I need to catch up in posting my 365Project posts here and I still want to show some of my other work. You can also see my photos at http://365project/danielyu If you ware interested in starting, it’s not too late. Join me and add me as a friend.

Black River from forest road 25.
The new iPhone 4S has a great camera for a smartphone. With a app or two, anyone can make amazing panoramic photographs. Four vertical images of the Black River were taken on iPhone 4S using Camera+ app with about 25% overlap in each image. The images were merged together with the AutoStitch iOS app.
