During my recent trip to California I spent the night in Blythe, CA.... below is the view from our hotel room right after a rain storm. The town itself isn't much to get excited but we did manage to find some great Mexican food at Maria's... although I was a bit disappointed that they didn't serve Margaritas the food more than made up for it.

I've been having some technical difficulties over the past couple weeks with Blogger. I wasn't able to upload photos, publish new posts, etc... things seem to be back to normal so I'll be up to my normal posting again.Cloudy mountain range somewhere in between Phoenix and Los Angeles.

Took this photo at dusk, with no tripod, using exposure bracketing. Merged three photos together in Photomatix, did some tonal mapping and ended up with a pretty decent High Dynamic Range photo.... more on this process later.Follow the photo for a larger version....

I've got more than a handful of applications that I regularly need to open, in turn my dock got to the point were it was overwhelming to even look at. Yea, I kept it in some sort of order so I could easily find most things but I always wanted it to be a bit more organized.In comes Google, naturally. I stroke in "dock divider" and to my surprise Apple downloads was first on the list with an App

Not sure that I would actually eat any thing that came out of this lake but the guy pictured below seemed to get quite a few bites in the short time I was watching him... mmmm Tempe Town Lake trout anyone?!

Went out with some photography students over the weekend and managed to take a couple shots of my own.Here's one overlooking Tempe town lake and some real fancy looking buildings.

My Mac Book Pro has an express card slot, and my Western Digital MyBook 500GB Hard Drive has an Esata Cable connection.... lets take a look at what these two features are and how they can be combined to provide for some pretty impressive transfer speeds.Things you'll need:ESata CableEsata Expresscard(Unless of course your computer has an Esata port built-in)Hard Drive with Esata connectionJust

Shot this photo a while back and tried some new post-processing in photoshop... Didnt get it quite where I wanted it but it came close. Follow the photo for a 1024 X 768 version.

Well the first step has been taken, I registered the domain name tonight. www.ireadthisblog.comI'm in the process of revamping my website and decided that my blog needed to have a similar look. Then I figured, why not change the name too?! Just so happen that I got an email today from my hosting company telling me about a free domain registration that I qualified for. Good timing! The new name

Took some photos of my business cards the other day and figured I would share them. Designed these some time ago, in Photoshop, and even though it wasnt that long ago there are so many things I would do differently now! Getting some new ones printed off once I can get rid of the rest of my current ones. Front is glossy, back is matte finish - easy to write on.

A plate of Mongolian Beef and a new ipod with fresh music... What more could you ask for?!

Brian Benham's music video was prefaced with a sentence explaining that he used a ["Point & Shoot"] digital camera to record it. I was a bit skeptical after reading that but being a fan of Brian's music I pressed the play button anyway. 15 seconds into the video and any thoughts of what kind of equipment was used totally escaped my mind... An extremely creative integration of editing, photography

Weak title huh? Haven't been feeling too artistic in a literary sense lately so I'll keep it simple and just stick to posting photos for now.

I've known of Model Mayhem for some time but never really had any decent work to get a profile established with. Now that I've got a few 'model' oriented shoots under my belt I figured I could get a little more exposure on MM. Its a place where photographers, models, make-up artists and more can all network and find work.Check it out, Trevor Gill's ModelMayhem.com .... Add me if you're on there!

As promised, another photo from my short trip to Papago park.Downtown Phoenix soaking up the last bit of sun.

Just moments before daylight died the tired sun showered my palette with a warm, soothing light, brining extra character to an overly photographed subject.More tomorrow.

Another sunset photo?... kinda makes me wonder if I should rename my blog to something more fitting like One Sunset A Day....?!This image got a little love in Photoshop ... mainly the filmstrip effect but I also desaturated it a bit and adjusted the levels slightly. I was pleased with the end result, the color range gives the photo a different feel but not too over the top.-Tre, who is going to

This picture is from about 3 years ago(so disregard the date in the corner! oops..), taken while we floated the skies just north of Phoenix. -Tre, who wants to go again . . .

The ipod Touch... What a device! There's something to be said for a product that is ultra thin, has multi-touch screen, accelerometer, 32gb and surfs the internet, Google maps with location, Plays Movies, Tv shows, and music! Not to mention the 3rd party and "web" apps available for it. You can also download directly from the iTunes store which can come in handy.-Tre, who no longer has any use

Most vanity license plates say something to the effect of SCRMOM or GOASU but in the case of this red Mitsubishi it describes exactly what the car is NOT - Slow.Full write-up tomorrow.....
