I am a cat that is pissed off at the big money influence in Politics in America.   What’s a cat to think these days.  HIss! I am testing the new system here, running Windows 7 on a Makbook in 64 bit.

An Odyssey Begins On a chilly Sunday night a small group of citizens from the Green Bay area gathered at the DePere Park and ride. In the dark they were assembling to begin a journey From North East Wisconsin to the Capitol of the United States. An endeavor organized and funding by the group Wisconsin Job's Now and with the support of the United Steelworkers Union. A diverse group, ranging

There is a group going on a march that will end at his office.  There is only one person that has been selected to speak with Rep. Boehner if given the chance.   As I am not entirely confident that they will be educated in the actual pending bills that are relevant, I have decided to go it alone today.  My primary interest is in Hr 459.  This is the bill to audit the Fed.  I was surprised that

The streets of downtown Washington DC were filled today with the 99% as several separate Occupy groups converged on K  Street to protest economic disparity and the injustice that is embedded in our economic and monetary system. The  Lobbyists of K Street stood and aimlessly looked on as a very diverse group of Americans from all walks of life expressed their feelings to the power the leverage on

Members of the 99% have descended upon Washington DC with a mission that is more than carrying signs and singing chants. Today they have begun the “Peoples Lobby” as they have send small groups to seek out and “occupy” the offices of their representatives.  As to be expected, most of the elected representatives were unavailable to the 99%ers.  But in a few (two that I know of as  of the writing

Some of us have simple minds (this blogger included) that work on past experience.  The recall election is such a thing that makes us scratch our heads.  The election dates may be a little confusing for some of us … including me, but there is a good source for clarification.  The Government.  The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board has published the list of dates relevant to the various

After a few trial and error runs, this is one of my designs for a simple stabilizer that can be built for less than $30 (considering one already has the tools required).  It provides excellent vertical as well as horizontal stability.  Most of the other designs seemed not get as good of results when viewed.  Also serves as an excellent mounting platform for accessories.  All off the shelf parts,

At Phosari, the video arm of Wisconsin Confidential, Green Bay Confidential and Marcel Kuemmet Photography, we try to provide information and interesting stories and video content from Green Bay, Bellevue and all of NE Wisconsin.  I simply try to make them interesting to watch.

Reading National Geographic, looking at spectacular examples of lowlight photography was an inspiration for me as a young person exploring the possibilities.  Subscriptions to several photographic how-to magazines were quick to follow.  Capturing lowlight photos with my little Kodak instamatic was a challenge to say the least.  Today there are better tools to use, even for the ‘snapshot’

DEPTH OF FIELD; The Still Photo DOF (Depth of Field) is not only a desired tool to professional and print journalists,  but to home photographers as well.  Many of today’s point and shoot consumer level camera’s feature lens’s with focal lengths that offer enough of a long angle to create the DOF effect, as well as the effect of “flattening” the subject with the background. For a landscape

THE RIGHT LIGHT FOR FALL PHOTOGRAPHY  With the fall color peak recently passed, there are still many great opportunities this time of year to capture interesting images.  I like to use the “Golden Hour” of photography, as it is commonly referred to, or that time of twilight just as the sun is setting or rising. This is a time of soft and somewhat diffused light, provided courtesy of our

Just after returning from a nice little bike ride with perfect weather we were surprised by a sudden rain burst.  Out to re-register to vote (don’t forget to vote!) and get a few more fall color photos, the weather looked perfectly clear on the radar as well as to the eye.  But just after returning home we suddenly heard hard rain falling on the roof.  As we didn’t notice any dark clouds while

Well. with fall in full deployment, the garden have basically been put to rest.  I have just a few Zucchini's still out there, and two potatoes that definitely evolved for the H. floresiensis's species.  They were a race that developed on a small island, and like the other forms of life on the island evolved short and small.  They even had mini elephants there. The peak of the fall colors in

In today’s digital flow of information, news and images, getting a story out in almost real time isn’t only for the big guys any longer.   With tapeless workflow, small efficient High Definition cameras and all digital non linear editing systems available now to even basic consumers, it is quickly becoming all about workflow and efficiency.  Those with an already established workflow and a

I always keep my cameras close and over the course of the last months (and years) have assembled quite the collection of footage that I don’t use.  When I first started doing video I often created what I call “Art” videos.  I was surprised that often these are some of my most popular and most often viewed videos. As I have been focused on featuring to much of what I am planning to do in my

As a person who is new to gardening I am kind of excited seeing the fruits (or should I say vegetables) of our labor come to life and grow in front of my eyes. And remember, I have only done a small percentage of the actual work.  It has been a learning experience. It has also given me something to cover with a low budget. If anyone has any ideas and or recommendations please feel free

Often when telling a story I find that the still photographs I often take can tell the story or convey the feeling I am trying to send to my viewers.  As I am a user of Premiere and have not found a setting I like for still photo slideshows, I have been using the simple Windows Movie Maker to do this.  I like the setting and ease of use. Since my Vista computer had now finally died, I have been

In this Phosari I quickly go over some of the goals I am working on this month. I will be keeping my videos short, less than two and a half minutes, and focusing on more “Art” shots.  I will continue to update the progress of the garden. I am always keeping and eye out and the gear bag ready for a story to develop in my area or close enough that I can get to it quickly and get the story

In this video I am covering two subjects.  One is is our garden, which is in it’s first year, the other the video itself. Our garden is made of shade, food and decorative plants (mostly just the ones in the front).  Although in it’s first full year, it seems to be progressing well.  I can mark the occasion as well by declaring the I now have my very own Zucchini plant.  This is important as I

This little slideshow started out as I was re-setti ng my slideshow setting on the old laptop just before it took it’s last, gasping breath … then died. There is really no theme or message here, just some pics … some not so old and some not so new. I try to have a nice diversity in the type of photos and the location … and just the general atmosphere the shot may convey. I hope you enjoy

In this PHOSARI, we take a look at a nice spot to walk the dogs.  We looked pretty closely and did not see any signs stating that dogs were not allowed, so we gave it a go.  You can see in the video the dogs were happy getting a nice  run, and it was a nice time and location to do some still photography. I always like the sun can effect a lens, and  I include a still photography tip

  As usual there were festivities for the holiday.  This year viewed from the comfort of home.   The local neighborhood display was not a extravagant as the big show downtown, but I managed to capture a little bit of your local show.  I had to get a few “atmosphere” shots too.

  The Sunset was exceptional tonight.   With higher than normal humidity, and other atmospheric conditions working together to create the perfect conditions for just the right light.  I always try to also show the progress on the garden too …. Here are some shots … I hope you enjoy!

Here we have a video (not my work) that features a few internet or Youtube stars talking about net neutrality and how the big corporate interests would just love to get more control over the internet. This is really important to me and others like me that actually create online content, not just seek to profit from the work of others.  If the corporate interests can purchase their way into

We Started the day at the Farmers Market in downtown Green Bay.  On display was the usual selection of tasty and healthy natural food direct from the source.  Also a nice selection of crafts and and various goods.  There was a very impressive turn out this Wednesday night, making me wonder if the weekly event has such a great crowd for every Wednesday. Then we headed out to the east shore of

I got out early the other morning a got a few shots of the morning sky and some of the things in the Garden  (actually the flower bed).  There were a few little additions I wasn’t even aware of until I got out there with my camera.  Like this little fellow.  Reminds me of Iron Butterfly. With the morning light, everything seems to look better, even the reflections in the window.  Now it there

I was at my friends house for Memorial day.   As we are all veterans (or most of us) , it was a good group  for the day. We had a pretty  good fire and a very nice time overall. The neighbors gave us a bit of a scare … with the huge fire they had (Photos below), but they knew what they were doing (horse folk) and all was fine. I did shoot some video, but I can’t really post it until I ask

I started out the other night with a few night shots, and I caught this shot of the flowers on the kitchen table. I have actually been shooting without a tripod for some time now, and thanks to a friend and a few screws and two camera heads I now have a small set up again.

Remember everyone ... go to Google Get Invloved page and tell google why it should bring it's 1gbps network to Green Bay. Here is a video created by the kids out at Rasmussen College. Someone needs to buy them an HD camcorder, and a few tips on lighting and angle. I thought they put a great effort into a very worthy cause.

Spring has arrived, and here are a few shots from the creek in Bellevue.  It is usually just a trickle of water. but with the above normal temperatures, and the rapid melting, it looks like a small river now. To the right is the location where the photos were taken.  You can see more photos on my Facebook page @ Spring Shots from today, Sunday March 14th, 2010 .

With the lingering fog still causing headaches for NE Wisconsin Driver, it is amazing that some drivers will drive a Grey vehicle in thick fog without their lights on.  In the photo to the left, there is a Grey Pickup truck.  The photo is of the passenger side rear view mirror.   Can you find it?  In the photo below, one can see where the truck is by following the arrow.

Here are some interesting shots I got this morning.  I noticed that the light from the window was illuminating the edge of the glass, naturally creating an interesting effect. I managed to capture the effect in the photo to the right.  It appears as it the glass is green colored glass, when it is actually a standard pane of glass covering the top of a dresser.

After over 50 years of use, the US Army now has a new parachute system, the T11.  Although I usually jumped the maneuverable T-1B, the jumps that I did make with the T10 were an experience as there was no control, one goes where the wind takes you, and you hit like a ton of ammo cans. With a higher load capacity of 40lbs, a greatly reduced injury rate, and a much more comfortable landing, the

  Fall More Precipitation is expected this week. With more Rain and possible snow in forecast for this week, one may begin to wonder if this will be another fall that is basically an immediate transition from summer to winter.  With most of our weather experts stating this has been the second coldest start of the season (in some areas of Wisconsin, the coldest)   Fall Rain and Snow.

I was for once happy that the weather was one would say up here "Crappy".  I this case it is perfect to get the pair of Otters out of their den.  Although they seem to prefer a mild mist, I am hoping this will increase my chances of getting some stills and footage today. Here, I am keeping a keen eye out for the couple. I have the cameras pre-targeted and ready to go so all I need now is for

Here are a few quick shots from tonight.  The first one is before I set the color balance (I always do a manual White Balance as I start to shoot .... if I remember.

As I set out from my home station, I was surprised to see that there was a little bit of viewable sky.  Of course, as I got out in the yard I saw the perfect example of a planed low in the horizon the was displaying the best example of Atmospheric Convection. Now I will be the first one to admit that I am not 100% positive that this is what is causing the shifting light of the planets and

Here is the little "Jack Hound"  (I call her that because she has an attendancy to hop like a Jack Rabbit with she runs through thick grass or underbrush) on watch ... we are trying to catch the Lake Otters I saw yesterday on video and or still.

  Here in the north of Wisconsin I would expect a lot more color by now. This is my first season in this location and maybe I got spoiled for the years I spent in Door County, where the fall colors can almost get out of hand. Here is the little shed and a few shot of the lake area and islands.     Here is what may be some kind of habitat. I will be watching the colors closely and

  In my third and final report on this subject, I show one more Star or Planet that if captured with video or still photography at the correct azimuth and under certain conditions can appear to be a UFO or considered as much. This is not to disclaim or debunk any specific video or report, just to demonstrate how true it is that “Eye Witness” testimony and account, even if “captured” with

I thought some of my readers may be interested in the way that I have my tripod set up with both cameras.  I originally didn't plan to post this, so please excuse the utility articles in the background.  With this set up I have the convenience to just grab the tripod and go on the quick. As I do much of my shooting in low light conditions, this really does expedite the process on getting

Here are a few shots just taken over the Lake.  The bottom shot is is a "reflection" shot. And remember, I never Photoshop (I don't even own Photoshop).

On September 1, 2009 at 11:25 PM this was spotted at 38° North at a vertical angle of 15°. It would appear at first to be some sort of aircraft that changes shape and color. As it rose with the rotation of the Earth, the color shifting slowly diminishes. Those with me at first would have sworn that this was some sort of UFO.

These are some shot from what I thought were some interesting combinations of Light and Clouds.  I tried to catch the natural light without creating any effects from the lens or my shooting technique. I also went with sort of a "Green Theme" as you may be able to detect.

Today we had a short rain storm, but just before the rain started some spectacular light for photography filled the sky.  I wasn't able to make it to the other side of the lake as I would have liked, but I did manage to capture a few decent images without leaving the yard.

I was working on my car, and in the instructions on Autozone there was a task that required (actually, my model didn't even require one) a Torx® Drive Bit D79P-2100-T40.  I searched and searched and found no reference online to know exactly what they were talking about.  Even Autozone didn't seem to carry one!  As it turns out, I actually had one already the whole time.
