    Hot Tips for Shooting Photos in Cold Weather

    Shooting photos during the winter months can be an extremely rewarding experience, but only if you are prepared to handle the elements. For me living in the Northeast (Princetown, NY) doesn’t afford me the ability to shoot in perfect conditions, like where the temps are ideal because the sun...

    Post Your Comet Pictures

    I can't wait to photography the comets of 2013. All of your posts have got me amped up even more! I'm praying for some really clear evenings here in upstate NY in between the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains! Either way it's going to be one heck of a summer to capture. I'll post my images to...

    Acadia National Park and my Canon 7D

    A Perfect Photo Vacation, I had a wonderful chance to spend a week in the majestic Acadia National Park located near Bar Harbor, Maine this past summer (2012) and was blessed to have absolutely perfect weather at least 5 out of the 8 days I was there. Now that I have some free time, you know...

    jpg vs. RAW...

    I agree with you about JPEG for time-lapse. I was wasting so much time and space processing my raw files. It was a hassle dealing with the file maintenance. Don't get me wrong. I love RAW and it's my preferred method for still photography but the benefits for time-lapse are minimal. For a while...

    A Hands on Review of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens

    robbymack You are so right on that! I would be next in line behind you on that preorder. I can't even begin to tell you how many people compliment me on my photos that I take with my 50mm f/1.8 and when I tell them it's a lens valued around $100 they tell me time and time again they don't...

    A Hands on Review of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens

    That's okay. In the end it's all about the image and the creativity. That's what counts at the end of the day when you or your client are happy. On my blog I have an image shot with my iPhone 4s and I get so many people commenting on it. They have no idea about the camera. I think that's pretty...

    A Hands on Review of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens

    The Canon 50mm f/1.8 II is a fantastic portrait and street lens that won't leave you or your wallet disappointed. There have been many lenses in my life, some of them have been great and some of them not so great. I for sure have had my share of spending way too much on a lens only for it to...

    A skyline to remember.

    Aglet, What a stunning photo. I love the beautiful gradient and your composition is magnificent. The cloud that is lingering close to the ground with the treeline makes the shot even more impressive. Wow. I know how the sunsets can be for your region. I have family that live in the Thousand...

    A skyline to remember.

    I will never forget the sky on this night when I was on a walk. I almost missed this scene as I was fiddling with my camera. Then all of a sudden I looked up and was rocked with this scene. I took about 200 photos and HD video of this once in a lifetime display of colors. I was stunned at the...

    Mt Spokane Photography I totally agree. I have pulled back a little on promoting Linkedin as well since the site was hacked. Sometimes it's hard to network with all of the security issues ironically it's a little bit of a paradox, since you want to post your personal info but at the same you...

    DragonFly Series

    A perfect landing on the antenna of my car. This beauty actually waited patiently for me to get my camera and almost seems to pose for me. It was as if she was looking at me with equal curiosity. Both shots came about 20 seconds apart. The one is framed with the soft blue sky and the second was...
