A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of talking to Matt Brandon, The Digital Trekker, from the Depth of Field Podcast. We chatted about all things photography and had a great time! You can find the podcast episode on The Digital Trekker website, or on iTunes. If you want to learn a bit more about me and my story, what I’m up to these days and how I run my business, take a listen!
I take my website very seriously because it has been the source of so many of the great things that have happened to me throughout my career. This website is built on a platform called Divi, by Elegant Themes. It’s a theme that has an incredible amount of customization options so no two Divi sites have to look the same. A while back, Elegant Themes contacted me and asked me if they could do a feature about me and my site on their blog. I think at the time, I actually forgot to post this on my own blog, so …
A few years ago B&H Photo asked myself and a few other adventure photographers for some advice about shooting in the snow. I thought it would be a good time to point back to that advice this week as many of us go into a short holiday with lots of opportunity to get outside and capture the winter. Maybe you’ll even have some new camera gear to play with! You can find the article over at B&H Photo –> HERE.
The folks at Photocrowd have asked me to judge their Snow & Ice photography contest that just started this past week. MindShift Gear are providing the prize, an awesome Rotation 180 Trail backpack! I have one of these packs myself and it’s my go to pack for lightweight outdoor action photos. Head on over to Photocrowd and check it out! I’d love to see some of your photos in the contest . Entries close on February 1st, so you’ve still got some time to get out there and take some snowy shots, but if you’ve already got something in the …
Today we’re going to dissect a shot from a recent kayak expedition to photography grizzly bears. Let’s see why this works and what I used!
I’ve just added the new Elinchrom ELB 400 and Skyport HS trigger to my photo kit for portraiture and sports photography work. Let’s take a look inside the box and find out more abut this incredible new piece of technology!
You know, I can’t honestly remember if I ever mentioned this to you guys over here on my personal blog… Over on ShutterMuse.com, where I’m putting all my longer articles and reviews these days, I actually have a 100-page eBook that I give away for free. It’s called 10 Incredible Tools For Professional Photographers, and it details ten tools (duh!) and best practices for helping to run a profitable and professional business. Yes it’s true that it’s only really relevant to those of you who have aspirations of making money from your photos, though. There will be something for everyone …
A couple of months ago I posted about how I shot the Blood Moon solar eclipse. I was just digging through my email inbox today and I found an email from one of the producers at NBC who kindly sent me a link to the new spot that briefly features one of my blood moon photos. You can view the spot HERE. For those that don’t live in the US (that includes me), Nightly News on NBC is currently the highest rated nightly news show with over 9 million viewers every week. Pretty neat!
Mylio is a company that makes organizational software for photographers. Full disclosure: I’ve never used it, so this isn’t meant in any way to be an endorsement of their product or service. They did want to interview me about my photography, though, and you can now read the interview on the Mylio website here.
Recently the good folks from a new camera company called Light, got in touch with me and asked me an interesting question. They wondered how technology changes have played a part in my career as it evolved over the last few years. What a great question! Let’s see shall we…
Adobe made Lightroom 6.3 available today and there’s several important things to note about it. Whilst it adds the usual array of new RAW support for newer cameras, it also adds a ton of new lens profiles for lenses like the new Zeiss Milvus range, as well as the Canon 400mm f/4 DO II. As well as performance improvements, Adobe have also reverted to the original import dialog after making sweeping changes in version 6.2. Most people seem to prefer the original import dialog and they have listened to feedback and acted quickly to bring it back. Creative Cloud members …
