WrightsonFirst a story to tell, before I share any pictures. About a year and a half ago, I decided along with my brothers, that we were going to climb Mt. Wrightson. Mt. Wrightson is the highest peak in the Tucson area, with a peak at about 9300 feet or so. Anyways, we picked a day, and failed miserably, due to a combination of factors including a trunk that wouldn't open, a new car that was leaking radiator fluid, but mostly because I wasn't in good enough shape to make it.<br />
<br />
So, I've wanted to make it to the top of this mountain ever since. I just didn't know where to start. Well, about 4-5 months ago I found a group of people at my work that are avid hikers, and so I decided to start hiking with one of them in particular. We started with some flat trails, and I was able to walk about 7 miles, most of it flat. But that would have been barely enough to make it to the top of the mountain, not to mention the elevation gain.<br />
<br />
Over the course of about 3 months, I kept up training, at first every other week, the switching to every week. Finally, I was able to make an 8 mile grueling hike, and was thus ready to give Mt. Wrightson another shot.<br />
<br />
So I tried again, on October 1, 2010. And this time, I made it. The trail was about 12 miles, 4000 feet gain in elevation, and took about 8 hours, and 4 liters of water, but I made it! Yeah! Anyways, here's a few pictures from the journey.<br />

It's their newest creation, and looks really great. In it, you build and launch rockets, including some fun methods of sabotage. I highly recommend it! I'll post a link to Amazon when it's available, it'll just be an edit of this post. I expect it'll be available in the next few weeks or so. Also, for those who don't know about it, their first game is called Gold Mine, a link is at the very bottom. So, without further ado, here's some pictures.<br />

Finger Rock in a unique mountain formation that's up in the Catalinas, it's only really visible if you're pretty close to them, but you can see it from a ways a way. The trail to hike up there is among the more difficult I've done. Still, the view is awesome, I highly recommend it!<br />

It's almost 3 miles one way, for a total of 5.5 miles round trip. It's one of the tougher hikes that I've been on (Elevation gain 1600 feet, most of it in a mile), but that just makes for scenic views more quickly. So, here's some shots from my now successful trip up Blackett's Ridge.<br />

As a whole, it was a good learning experience, one that I hope to not repeat...<br />

The goal was to make it to the top of Blackett's Ridge, almost 3 miles from the parking lot, but about 1600 feet in elevation gain, most of it in the middle third of the trail. It all started well, but I soon learned my first lesson, don't forget the spare battery, or at least make sure the primary one has been charged recently... I ran out of power a mere 15 minutes into the hike, too late to turn back, but I still missed alot. I still got a few good pictures, however, which I will share later.<br />
<br />
My second lesson was a bit harder, don't forget to pre-hydrate on a desert hike... The end result was, I didn't make it to the top, because I started feeling a bit sick. Now, I'm not sure how much of this was due to not pre-hydrating, and how much was due to something else, but, well, it was an interesting result at any rate...<br />
<br />
In a soon-to-be released post, I'll post some pictures from the hike when I learned these two lessons, but for now, I'll post my best pictures from the hike, which are still good, although I wish I had more to select from... The weather and time of day was perfect for this area for photographs!<br />

I've been gradually doing more interesting things, and yesterday took me on the Esperero Trail to a saddle point a few miles in, to an area called "Cardiac Gap" by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Tucson-Hiking-Guide-Betty-Leavengood/dp/0871089351?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwpearso-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969">Betty Leavengood</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwpearso-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0871089351" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important; padding: 0px !important" />. It was a climb of 1650 feet roughly to that point. It's an amazing view, I highly recommend it. Here are a few pictures from the hike, I hope you enjoy!<br />

<br />
The program is turning out really close to what I had imagined so far. I've managed to complete a series of accomplishments, including: <br />
<br />
1) Image viewing from a URL<br />
2) Pinch zooming/ panning of the image.<br />
3) Using the SmugMug API to get the URL of the image.<br />
4) Setting up a gallery view that shows the images from a gallery.<br />
5) Allowing one to click on an image and see it in higher resolution. Clicking the back button goes back to the gallery view.<br />
<br />
Things that still need to be done prior to a 1.0 release:<br />
1) A view of all the galleries needs to be done for browsing between them (The current version only allows for browsing the last updated gallery).<br />
2) I want a few more options to go backwards, I haven't figured out all of those details yet.<br />
3) I need to select an icon for the program<br />
4) I'm going to create a splash screen that shows up while the program is loading. Right now it only shows a blank screen, not really good enough for most purposes.<br />
5) I want an about screen, and probably info about the professional version.<br />
6) A way to choose a user besides myself must be included.<br />
7) More error handling, ie, what to do if Smugmug is down, there's no internet connection available, etc. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Differences between the pro version and the free one:<br />
1) The free version will probably default every time it's loaded to my photo gallery, at least initially. The pro version will load a gallery of your choosing.<br />
2) The free version will not allow you to log into your account. The pro version will allow it, with oAuth, allowing for viewing of private albums, and other fun features to come.<br />
3) The pro version will eventually have many cool features to help the professional photographer and serious amateur.<br />
<br />
Oh, and here's a few screen shots from the Android emulator. Enjoy!<br />

It's sure to be tricky, but I plan on doing it, bit by bit. Here's ABCD.<br />

The company is <a href="http://www.stratusgames.com/">Stratus Games</a>, and their game is called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984450904?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwpearso-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0984450904">Gold Mine</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwpearso-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0984450904" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /><br />
It's a fun game where you get to build mines, collect gold, and escape. It's really cool. Anyways, I'd recommend you look into it, ask your specialty game store for the game in your local cities. It's available now only in select locations in Tucson, AZ, but it will be available soon everywhere.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here's some pictures from the event.<br />

I want to learn how to program a smart phone. I know a fair amount about programming in general, and I really want to learn more, so it's about time...<br />
<br />
So, my first Android program is going to help me with my photography, hence the reason I'm posting on this form to begin with. It's going to start as a photo viewer for my website. I have a list of features I plan on adding, which I'm going to keep quiet for a while, but I'll say for now that my program will be geared towards a professional or serious amateur showing off a portfolio on their phone, and related tasks.<br />
<br />
So far, I've almost figured out how to do my first real task, which is loading and displaying an image from the web. Once I've got that figured out, it's only talking to the SmugMug API and putting a slightly more complex interface, something that should be easy. Hopefully I'll have something to share soon, but for now, keep watching for more;-)Ben P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11608532730185474929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687111287818917715.post-45136069084896871412010-07-17T21:19:00.000-07:002010-07-17T21:19:14.009-07:00LightningI look forward to July and August every year because of the "Monsoon" season, the time of year that it rains in Arizona alot. In particular, I look forward to the opportunity to take pictures of lightning.<br />
<br />
I've tried 3 times this year to get a decent lightning shot, without getting even one shot... Finally, I was able to capture some, and not just any shot, but perhaps the best I've ever taken. I wish I could clean up the noise a bit on this image, but still, I'm quite happy with them.<br />

For those who don't know, I try to take a picture every day and pick my favorite, and post it up for review in the Smugmug Daily Photo group. It's helped me out tons, and I've really enjoyed it. I've had various levels of success, from initially actually taking a picture almost every day, to now at least posting a recent favorite. Anyways, here's the favorites.<br />

Oh, since last week's free $5 was such a success, I thought I'd add in another one. This time, it's a $10 coupon, which will start to be valid only starting June 28, 2010, to the first person to use it. Free10_2010. No minimum purchase required.<br />
<br />
Also remember that the code Blog_20 will get you 20% off, if used before the end of the month.Ben P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11608532730185474929noreply@blogger.com0
