Sounds simple, right? In this age of higher and higher ISO and cameras that can shoot in the dark I think it’s easy to forget that. My Nikon D3S can shoot in relative darkness with ease and make beautiful files. The Olympus PEN E-P3, not so much. The Oly makes a decent image in lowlight, [...]
Our friends at Lowepro provided me with two of their newest backpacks to take for a spin in Costa Rica. I used the Photo Sport 200 AW backpack/ sling, and I brought a Scope Travel 200 AW backpack for my friend and local guide to try out. Neither one of these packs is your usual photo [...]
Rick Sammon and I just wrapped up the first Digital Photo Experience Weekend in Atlanta. The 20+ attendees were treated to Rick’s presentation of photo and HDR tips Saturday morning, and (hopefully) enthralled by my Lightroom presentation on Saturday afternoon We had beautiful models and great locations on Sunday as we modified light using reflectors, diffusers [...]
If you regularly travel with expensive camera gear, the Lock It Up cable lock from Think Tank Photo may be the best $25 you can spend. It is one of those items that works so well and so easily that you’re left wondering, “why didn’t I think of that?”
Rick Sammon and I are leading a photo workshop in Atlanta, GA this August 13-15. Here’s a quick video with the details…
I wanted to take a second and mention the companies that support our workshops. When I was looking for sponsors for the Arenal Eco Adventure photo workshop in Costa Rica, it was important to me to work with people and products that I am proud to recommend and represent.
I spent last week in Orlando, FL for the Photoshop World conference at the Orange County Convention Center. This was my fourth Photoshop World and they just keep getting better. The only difficult thing about attending Photoshop World is deciding which classes to take. I tend to focus on Lightroom and photography classes, and this time was no exception.
I have an old Samsonite roll-aboard suitcase that I put a padded divider set in to hold camera gear. The wheels are terrible, the handle is rickety and it tips over when it’s loaded. I was preparing to lead a workshop in Costa Rica recently and I figured it was time for a new rolling camera bag.
My experience with Think Tank Photo products made their rolling bags my first choice.
I get a lot of questions about my Think Tank Photo Rotation 360º backpack from other photographers. “Is that that crazy backpack that spins around?”, “does that thing really work?”, etc. I also read a “review” recently of the “new” Rotation 360º backpack that was written by someone who apparently used the pack once and [...]
I will be teaching a photography workshop in Costa Rica in March of 2010. Focussed on travel photography, it will cover basic camera skills, composition and Adobe Photoshop® Lightroom® workflow. I will only be accepting five students, so register early if you’re interested. All of the particulars and online registration at www.edgeoftheworldworkshops.com
I don’t think I’m the only one that is always in search of the perfect camera bag. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many camera bags I have acquired over the last ten years. The problem is that a bag that is perfect for one situation might be totally annoying and difficult to use in another. I thought I had found the perfect bag last year when I got a Rotation 360 backpack from Think Tank Photo… In the context of a busy city, the Rotation 360 seemed like overkill for size and capacity. The hunt for a “city bag” began…
