Ravens: Showing You Originals And Final Versions
Sometimes it is interesting for photographer and audience to compare unedited or original versions with their “final” counterparts. (My images are almost never final, but always potential subjects for reworking.) Here I show you two raven photos that I just uploaded to Fine Art America, but you get to see what FAA folks do not– […]

Buy a digital copy of this rock squirrel photo!
Rock squirrels are small rodents in the squirrel family, with short ears, and fur that blends with their preferred places to hang out—on large rocks. Yesterday (5 September) I posted this video to YouTube. The squirrels in the video might well be siblings. Here in Flagstaff Arizona where I filmed them, it seems that all […]

Playing, Part II
Yesterday (6th May), inspired by Jeff Goulden and Mike Smith on Fstoppers, I shot my first panorama on a camera (having tried without much luck shooting panoramas on my phone). It was hurried, playful, non-serious. Fun! Both Jeff and Mike suggested shooting panoramas handheld would work, and that’s what I tried. As Mike said, just […]

Star Trails Over San Francisco Peaks Another photo from my pre-dawn photo-walk yesterday (2/17/22) morning…another shot at night photography (pun intended). What I am attempting is to minimize noise while maximizing light on my subject— the peaks and the stars above them. This involves the following settings— ISO 1000, f/2.8 at .50s, shot on my […]

Snowy pre-dawn morning
I confess— I’m a super early riser. So this photo was taken at 4:45 today (February 17, 2022). My fingers were cold. My face was cold. The temperature was roughly 15F at that time. All that aside, I wanted to take a walk and I was looking for a particular scenario to photograph— the moon, […]

How to take a photo of the filtered sun and get a starburst effect
Taking the shot It’s dangerous to aim your camera at the sun. You could harm it as well as your eye, especially if you loook right at it for a prolongued period of time, or point the camera likewise. I am an amateur like many of my readers, so I am not 100% sure this […]
