I was very close to having a great post tonight about my recent trip to the Grand Canyon. However, I use the software called ‘Blogo’ to write my posts. It had an incident, and, it ate the post I had spend close

2021 update Hello new visitor – while this post is almost 5 years old, everything should still be correct. The original version also references a plugin from regex.info. This plugin has been updated significantly since I wrote this post back in 2016,
This post is my thoughts on this well intended, but slightly misguided, post on Digital Photography School. NOTE – this post was written in June of 2016, if something changes, updates will be noted here. Personally, I always shoot at 14-bit Compressed
I’ve been making some changes around the site. The two biggest are my name changes and the switch to https. The switch to secure just makes sense, given all of the current news. Google searches also now prioritize secure sites over non
Hello Everyone. This past weekend, I came up with an idea for an experiment with time. I was sitting in my apartment, watching storms pass by, thinking to myself “it would be really neat to make a timelapse of these passing storms”.
This is a post I’ve been wanting to work on for a long time. This will be a much more technical post than normal. Sometime I may write more about how I specifically use Keywords. But first, some background information on how
Paris is a great city. One of the first foreign cities I ever visited, and the first foreign city I ever visited without my parents present (1997). Paris is one of the few foreign cities I have been to multiple times (3
I recently returned from California on a photo trip. One of the stops was at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forrest, near Bishop, CA, where I captured this 30 second exposure. To get this photo, I set up my camera while there was
Yesterday was a big day. My Lightroom catalogue finally hit 100,000 photos. That is a lot. While I’m still on the road, I wanted to share what this photo looks like. This is basically an unprocessed rough draft image that I took
A few years ago, a coworker of mine looked a photo of a waterfall that I made, and simply said “I don’t like these all white waterfall photos”. When I asked why, he replied “Because you see it too often”. This comment
I enjoy reading photo news sites. One of my favorites is F-Stoppers. About a year and a half they reviewed the Nikon Df, which is a retro styled Full Frame Nikon DSLR with the same sensor as the high end D4, but
I will not deny it. I despise facebook. I don’t like many social media, and for many photographers, Facepage is a necessary evil. Today, I am declaring that it is not. It is an avoidable evil. Facepage is the same as drunk
I’m still here. And still trying to work on some of my long term projects. I anticipate updates to the blog in the next few weeks. These updates will have the substance of previous posts, and way more than just this quick
Hello everyone. I realize I’m getting into this conversation well after it is relevant, but I was on vacation. When #thedress went viral, it sparked a big conversation about how we see color. Our eyes have evolved over a few million years
Many of us have a lot of equipment. Since I’m preparing for a trip, I may be a bit more aware of how much I have right now than other times of the year. On this trip, I’ll be carrying a primary
For this post, I would like to talk about how I created a photo from Cannon Beach, Oregon, last year. Before I left on this trip, I read about a new technique that can create interesting patterns in the sky when you
Hello everyone. Today, I’m going to write about photographing hummingbirds in Costa Rica. About a year ago, I had the opportunity to take a work trip to Central America to help bring our San Jose team up to speed. I extended my
During my summer trip to Finland, I decided to spend my last full day driving around Lapland. I started the day in Rovaniemi and ended up driving north to Ivalo, which is about an hour from the border with Norway. It was
In a previous iteration of this blog, I had a post about understanding your gear. I feel like it needed to return to this iteration, as it was one of the best posts in the old version. One of the first things
I have very little patience most of the time. I think this comes from growing up on the east coast of the USA. Everyone is always moving quickly from one place to another. This is one of the things I like about
