I’ve been working on a virtual tour project for a client recently and am in the processing stage, where I take the Circular Fisheye images from my Sunex 5.6mm lens (Nikon, Canon) and process them through Autodesk Stitcher. I’m doing this on my laptop for some reason, a mind numbingly […]

Read MoreReview of Excope DT1 by Beaverlab Technology Co
I recently took posession of a Kickstarter funded Excope DT1 camera from Beaverlab Technology. I was taken with the idea of the DT1 from my experience with the DxO ONE, a small camera that used a smartphone as the screen from back around 10 years ago, in 2015. I bought […]

Read MoreA Powerful Zoom Lens
A few months ago, I added an unusual lens to my bag, a Sigma 600mm F8 Nikon mirror lens. It shares the same body conventions as other catadioptric lenses (ones that use a combination of refractive and reflective optics) which ‘fold’ the light coming into the camera similar to how […]
Read MoreProtecting the Gear
While camera bags and backpacks are great for day trips, my Storm Cases (now by Pelican) were indispensable on my trip. Not just for large gear, like the Fuji GX680 and it’s lenses, but for the myriad assortment of littler things too … thread adapters, spare tripod heads, etc. As […]

Koehn Lake is a dry lake and part of the Mojave Desert in Kern County, California. While heading towards Red Rock Canyon State Park we took an hour or two detour to experience this great landscape. These railroad tracks were built to facilitate the mining of the salt seen towards the horizon, […]

I’ve been traveling to the island of Grand Manan for over twenty years. The lighthouse seen in the distance was on my list of destinations for several years, and in 2007 I finally had the chance to make it to Ross Island to visit the lighthouse.

Read MoreRhizome Growth
Rhizomes seem to follow me around. While each of these plants appear to be separate units, they are stalks formed up from a single runner under the sand. The plant shoots out tendrils and these sorts of rhizometric growths play a huge role in the control of dune erosion. This photo […]

Shooting in or near the desert, the one accessory that I discovered that I really needed was a large dark cloth. I used my Levis shirt most of the time, but definitely will take one on my next trip out west. Cutting down on the glare was a huge problem […]

A few years ago I purchased a product called Stitcher by Realviz. This product was sold to Autodesk and updated further (and split into a vr tour application as well.) While Stitcher still seems to win out over most competitors by any number of factors, new entrants are chipping away […]
Read MoreiPad as a Monitor
I use a program called MaxiVista on my Apple iPad and my Sony Windows 7 laptop. This application beams over monitor information to the iPad via my local WiFi connection, and lets me space out my working area on multiple displays. Technically, I’m using it as a third monitor, as […]

Bryce Canon is an incredible National Park located in Utah. While traveling there in April of 2010, I was fortunate enough to capture many beautiful locations throughout the park. The photo below was taken on 120mm film using a Fuji GX680. It is difficult to describe the park to someone […]

This year I had the ‘tremendous good fortune’ to spend roughly the equivalent of three straight months in a car, driving approximately 25,000 miles. That is equivalent to one circumnavigation of the globe at the equator.

I’ve been discussing some issues with the recent release of a new Sigma camera with some photographer friends of mine. This new Sigma claims a resolution roughly 3 times it’s apparent sensor size, and some people are crying foul over this practice. This is largely the same argument that’s […]
