Creative reflections

March 1, 2021 • Blog

Okay, here is a quick tip to liven up your travel photography.  Say you find a beautiful castle in the Czech Republic bathed in warm light.  The castle is surrounded by water, so the reflection photography is incredible.  You blaze away just giddy with how nice the images are coming out.  A few fall leaves Read More

Warmest Socks Out There

February 12, 2021 • Blog, Gear Talk

Right now most of the country is enduring a cold snap.  We were out in our backyard bird blinds this morning in sub zero temps, and part of enjoying photography in cold weather is staying warm.  The first thing that gets cold for me is my feet.  For boots I use my Sorel Glaciers, I’ve Read More

How many megapixels do you really need?

February 8, 2021 • Blog, In The News, processing, Shooting Tips

We get this question a lot.  Should I get the 24MP or 45MP new camera?  One criteria that is often mentioned is how big of a print you can make from your native file size.  This is especially of interest to those who print at home.  Some photographers have ink jet printers that make 17×22″ Read More

Silhouette Wildlife Photography

February 1, 2021 • Blog, Photo Shoots

We have a local pond that is being drained for development, which is unfortunate that another open space in our town is going to be developed.  The short term silver lining is as the water goes down, hundreds of fish are being revealed.  And with fish come eagles; yesterday we saw 30 bald eagles in Read More

Adobe Fonts

November 9, 2020 • Blog, processing

Quick tip Monday…It is nearing the time that everyone is sending out holiday cards, and many photographers create their own cards. After choosing your image, the next step is adding some text.  Many photographers know about the simple dropdown box that shows you all your text options.  But did you know if you are a Read More

Attract birds to your yard

October 21, 2020 • Blog, Photo Shoots

I’ve been hooked on bird watching, and bird photography, since I was in my teens.  I drove my parents crazy asking them to buy more bird food, plant bushes the birds would like, and creating brush piles in the backyard where ground birds could hide.  But even with 10 feeders hanging all over the yard, Read More

Hope everyone is getting out and photographing the fall colors.  Colorado is in full color, including some great fall aspens in Rocky Mountain National Park.  And just in time Nikon is having a huge sale on their refurbished gear including both DSLR and mirrorless systems.  Here is the link. Other interesting news is Topaz Denoise Read More

Nikon Z TC-1.4x teleconverter

September 15, 2020 • Blog, Gear Talk

I sometimes feel like a broken record talking about the new Nikon Z mount lenses.  Everyone I have reviewed has been fantastic to unbelievable in acuity, especially on the edges and corners.  Gotta appreciate that new design that allows improved sharpness in these lenses.  When it comes to teleconverters, one rule holds true.  A teleconverter Read More

Maximizing Depth of Field

August 28, 2020 • Blog, Shooting Tips

Depth of field is important in all types of photography.  While portrait and wildlife photographers might want very shallow depth of field for a tight headshot, landscape and travel photographers often want as much depth of field as they can get.  We all know that by closing down to smaller apertures like F16 or even Read More

Red channel graduated ND filter use

July 1, 2020 • Blog, Shooting Tips

We are in the middle of our online creative camera craft class right now, and one of our goals was to discuss topics that we felt many photographers may not know.  One of those topics is RGB graduated ND filter use.  What is that, you ask?  With cameras recording more dynamic range, and graduated filters Read More
