I’m baaaaack….
I knew it had been a while since I had posted anything here, but I was shocked to see it was September. Rotten. Time flies.
Well, my schedule changed and without really realizing it, my prime blog-writing time disappeared. But I’m trying to carve that time back into my routine. Trust me- though I’ve not been writing, I’ve been busy. So in the next few days or weeks I’ll tell you about some things that have kept me shooting. For example I’ve got a photo or two in Spinsheet magazine, and I some photos in a boating calendar. Miss January and March I think.
I’ve also spent a few weeks in Haiti after the Earthquake. That will be big entry by itself. In the mean time you can see some of the photos on my portfolio page at www.MarkDuehmig.com. Click on Galleries for more photos….

Most of the glass is intact in this stained glass window. Very little of the cathedral remains.
In Front of the Camera Talent??
I’ve also been busy shooting video. Not only projects for customers but some how-to videos as well. I’ve teamed up with a company called ShowMeHow Videos (www.ShowMeHowVideos.com/photography-video-c-36.html) here in Maryland.
I’m impressed with the quality of Show Me How Videos and agreed to be the “talent” in a series of videos on photography.
Two of them specfically might be of interest to my readers, “Point and Shoot Photography with Mark Duehmig” and “Digital SLR Photography.”
These are pretty comprehensive videos. They take you from start to finish, and while presuming the viewer is just getting started, we take you into some advanced concepts to take better-than-average photos.
Which one is for you?
Point and Shoot Photography
This video teaches you how to take decent photos with the amazing point-and-shoot cameras out there. We also discuss organizing digital photos and some of the things you can do with the images you have, like order prints or make your own books. (Or coffee mugs, calendars, quilts…)
Digital SLR Photography
If you have a new camera and want to do more than shoot in “Program” mode all the time, this will show you what the settings are for, how to use them and how to make use of that wonderful camera you have. We cover everything from choosing new lenses to picking a camera bag and tripod. It is really a complete video with great illustrations and sample photos.
Here are some clips from each of them:

Digital SLR Photography
If you click on the images it will take you to the ShowMeHow website and you can watch sample clips, order a DVD there or even download the full version to watch on your computer. You can also get them from Amazon and a bunch of other on-line retailers.
While the guy on camera isn’t much to look at, I do recommend the videos as a whole…
All for now. It is good to be back in the blogosphere. More soon….
