The Rule of Thirds in Practice
Most of us have heard of the rule of thirds. And probably for most readers of this blog it’s second nature by now. But for those somewhat new to photo/videography or if you just want… The Rule of Thirds in Practice
Photographing Lightning during The Day or Night with a DSLR
As many of you know, I’m an avid time lapse videographer, and the original purpose of our Flicker Free filter was time lapse. I needed a way to deflicker all those night to day and day… Photographing Lightning during The Day or Night with a DSLR
We Live in A Tron Universe: NASA, Long Exposure Photography and the Int’l Space Station
I’m a big fan of long exposure photography (and time lapse, and slow motion, etc. etc. :-). I’ve done some star trail photography from the top of Haleakala in Maui. 10,000 feet up on… We Live in A Tron Universe: NASA, Long Exposure Photography and the Int’l Space Station
Tips on Photographing Sports – Sneaking a Lens In and Other Stories
I love photographing sports. It’s a lot like shooting wildlife/Humpback Whales in many ways. It requires a lot of patience and quick shooting skills. Unfortunately, I’m usually limited to shooting from the stands. So… Tips on Photographing Sports – Sneaking a Lens In and Other Stories

The Future of Photography
CES/PMA is having a mini-conference called the Future Imaging Summit. I’m on the panel on software, so I’ve been pondering what software is going to look like in five years, at least as it pertains to photography.

Editing in the cloud?
3D photos? (god forbid ;-)
It will be interesting to see what kind of changes happen to photography over the next five years. One trend that will definitelyThe Future of Photography
Don’t be a Grumpy, Old Photographer
I recently was chatting with a photographer who pretty much blamed all the ills of the industry on Moms in hot pants. Yep, that’s why he no longer goes to WPPI and why the photo… Don’t be a Grumpy, Old Photographer
Cloud Services – The Ugly
So I don’t get it when people freak out about cloud services going down. It’s the internet. Outages happen. Actually, they happen to any electronics. Should they happen frequently? No, of course not. But Google… Cloud Services – The Ugly
Joy of Photography
One of the great things about running DA is that it gives me an excuse to buy fancy camera equipment and play with it. The latest subject I’m infatuated with is stars. No, I haven’t joined the paparazzi. I’m talking about the stars you can see when you’re 10,000 feet up on a rock in the middle of the Pacific ( the Haleakala volcano in Maui).
Photography is absolutely amazing. It really forces you to be present in the place you’re at and the moment you’re there.
Can you trust the cloud with your photos?
The answer, in a nutshell, is no. I’ve written about this before… when Digital Railroad failed a couple years ago and gave photographers 24 hours to download their photos, it should have been a big… Can you trust the cloud with your photos?
