GoPro has a variety of harnesses, brackets, clamps and tripod attachments that give you incredible creativity in using the GoPro, which is a big reason to own one. One of my favorites is the dog harness. It is pretty entertaining to see the world from a dog’s perspective. We Read More

GoPro Hero4 Black
I was recently working on some time-lapse sequences, and wanted to create one driving in my car at night. I started figuring out rigging to mount a DSLR in my car, and then it dawned on me this would be the perfect GoPro shot. If you are wondering why, take a look at the size Read More
Clouds and city lights at night
I was in Moab last week working on a shoot which involved a lot of night photography. My timing was pretty good since the moon was just strong enough to add some light to the desert, but not overpower the stars in the sky. The desert in the Moab area is spectacular for night photography, Read More

2015 in review…
2015 was a great year loaded with fantastic photography. Memorable assignments and workshops combined to make it a year to remember.

Shooting in a blizzard; ELB 400s
My morning started looking out the window and seeing 10 inches of fresh snow, with more falling and the wind blowing. In other words, a blizzard day in Colorado. I always look at heavy snowfall as a great reason to get out and play and shoot…kayaking, fly fishing, running, snowshoeing…snow is just an excuse to Read More
Elinchrom ELB400 shoot; behind the scenes
If you are out shopping for the holidays this month, take a look at the back cover of Shutterbug magazine. Your first reaction might be ‘I didn’t think you shot weddings’, and your reaction would be totally correct. But that was the point of this shoot.

I’m in Bosque on a workshop right now and the birds are here in force. Every morning some 13,000 snow geese, 10,000 ducks and 4,000 cranes fly from pond to pond against beautiful desert light. The shooting here is about lots of frames for a few good shots. I have even managed to fill up Read More
Remote triggers
One area of technology that has quietly become available to many photographers are remote triggers. Back in the day this was big news; you could set up your camera aimed at a bald eagle nest and fire away from your blind. Or set up cameras at the horse race track at ground level for stunning Read More
On1 Photo 10 Black and White
I have always liked converting images to black and white, but the trick has been figuring out what method to get good results. While there are lots of ways in LR and Photoshop to convert an image to black and white, I’ve always been a advocate of third party conversion software as long as it Read More
