An Update from Alaska…
I managed to find a decent internet connection while doing some laundry (riveting, eh?) and figured I would shoot out a quick update with what we’ve been up to. And, I may even fill you in on what we’re thinking for the rest of the trip, although that changes about as quickly as the weather ...
Things are Beginning to Move!
I wanted to take a moment to give an update on where things are at and what’s new! It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve written. But sometimes, the silence is good because it can mean that things are moving. And this time, it does! It has been an absolutely crazy few months ...
Just a quick update…
I just wanted to put up a quick update on why I haven’t posted a lot recently. I have been traveling with my dad and the salesman from my family’s photography business to a few photography conventions out in Las Vegas. Since Friday, we have been at the PSPA and SPAA conventions (school and sports ...
Quick Tip: Shooting Black & White Long Exposures
I would say that almost all of the long exposures that I shoot these days, end up as black and white or toned black and white images. Every so often, I’ll leave one in color but there’s something about a black and white long exposure image that just usually blows the color version out of ...
The Best Image Editor $20 Can Buy
By far, the Nik Filter plugins for Photoshop are the best plugins that I have ever worked with. They are well designed, do what they promise to and they do it fast. Needless to say, I was extremely excited to see Nik make their appearance in the iOS market (on iPad & iPhone) with Snapseed. ...
Before & After: Silver Safety Harbor
I have never really done much to show what type of work goes into my post production. The amount of work I do on a photo varies greatly based obviously on the scene and my vision for it. Some photos get barely any adjustments while others may take me several hours of adjustments, getting a ...
Behind the Photo: January’s Sunset
Behind the Photo: January’s Sunset I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t frustrated when I made this photo. It was one of those days where almost nothing was going according to plan. I was soaked, my camera was broken and the cold water still hadn’t quite taken my feet through the pain phase of ...
Answered Question - Long Exposure & ND Filters
A month or so ago, I was sent this question through my Tumblr: Hey Andrew, I just wanted to say I am a huge fan of your style. When I got my Nikon in January, I wanted to get serious in photography and I started looking around tumblr for inspiration and your blog was at ...
Where the Path Leads
This is one of my favorite little parks to go to when there’s good skies to shoot. I love the leading lines and how well the sea oats lend themselves to gorgeous contrasts especially with the little yellow flowers that are sometimes present. This photo was lightly tonemapped and then masked together with the original ...
Dear Up & Coming Photographer, You Need This.
If you’re anything like me, the career of photography has been an absolute roller coaster ride. At least, this is true with regards to my landscape and commercial photography. Some days, it feels like things are moving, my work is getting noticed and people are interested. Then, there are other days where it feels like ...
