Too many hobbies, not enough focus
I flew out to Seattle a couple of weeks ago and took the opportunity to take some photos. I wanted to take advantage of the landscape long-exposure skills that I learned in Amsterdam and apply them to another beautiful city. Our hotel was in the Pioneer Square area just three streets up from Pier 55 …
We visited the NH Farm Museum in Milton last week and it is a really cool place. It's a big old farm (surprise) with a farmhouse museum, a bar full of ancient farm equipment, and grassy farmland that you can tour. Real chickens roam around while you explore. It's pretty cool. The sun was bright …
My MacBook Pro has enabled a new photographic workflow that should allow me to select and process my photos faster. Prior to buying my MacBook Pro I had the following issues: My iMac was more powerful than my 13" MBP so it was my main editing machine. That meant that the majority of my photo editing …
Our photo shoot with the boys this weekend was very successful but it wasn't without its challenges. The result is a poignant set of images for your enjoyment.
We attended a fun cookout a few weeks ago and my typical turnaround time for photography reared its ugly head. Our friends Kristine and Dennis live out in the farm-land and have a nice lot with some farm animals of their own. There was plenty to photograph including chickens, roosters, turkeys, goats, beautiful farm land …
I switched to Nikon over a year ago. As I completely changed camera systems I had to purchase an entirely new set of lenses. My first two lenses were Nikon's 24-120mm and 70-200mm f/4 pair that cover the standard wide angle to telephoto range. I've been really impressed with both, especially the 24-120mm. I really …
As an example of how long it can take me to process photos, here are a few that I took in April to test out my then-new Sigma 150 - 600mm lens. It was the beginning of spring so the beach was still pretty cold, but the gulls were out and provided ample subject matter …
I've been taking digital photos since 2006 and had amassed a library of nearly 40,000 photos by the end of last year. This is only counting my "professional" photos – those taken with an SLR. Photos taken on our various point and shoots (remember those?) and cell phones are separate. Compared with an actual professional …
A few weeks ago I spent a few days in Boston for training. I stayed at the Fairmont Copley Plaza next to the John Hancock Tower. I spent one evening photographing my trip to Long Wharf where I wanted to get night shots of the skyline. Most of these were taken with my 15-30mm …
It's that time of the year again – time to invest in my photography collection. This year I'm filling out my lens collection now that I've switched to the Nikon system and will be selling off my Canon equipment. I've added quite a few items this season including a set of classic primes, a Macro, …
