Abstracts with Dry Ice

Posted on February 13, 2020 by Jordan Steele

This is going to be a quick post, but I wanted to share a little experiment I did this evening.  My wife had ordered some Jeni’s ice cream in the mail, which ships in a cooler with a block of dry ice to keep it cold during transport, and so I did what anyone would…

Chase the Light

Posted on October 12, 2016October 13, 2016 by Jordan Steele

If you’re relatively new to photography, you often focus on the technical aspects: making sure that you know how all the camera settings affect the output and so on.  These things are critically important, but eventually become background knowledge as they become ingrained in your consciousness.  Then, you will often move to perfecting composition: finding that…

The Supermoon Eclipse….Fail

Posted on September 29, 2015September 29, 2015 by Jordan Steele

If you’re like most photographers, the prospect of photographing an interesting scene during this past Sunday’s supermoon eclipse was an exciting one.  Lunar eclipses make for a unique look in the night sky, and if well incorporated, extremely interesting photos can be created. Last year, I managed to create one of my favorite images of…

Waterfall Season

Posted on April 23, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Spring is in the air, and the world is turning green once again.  Spring is also the time when many waterfalls tend to run at their fullest, so now is an ideal time for photographing waterfalls. I’ve taken advantage of some of the flow already, though a few weeks more will bring brighter and more…

Planning the Eclipse Shoot

Posted on October 8, 2014June 14, 2021 by Jordan Steele

One of the keys of successful outdoor photography is planning.  While many great shots have been made simply by ending up in a good spot by chance, and then having a great composition catch your eye, for many types of shoots, especially with landscapes, prior planning can make the difference between coming back with a…

Star Trails and the Milky Way

Posted on May 24, 2014May 27, 2014 by Jordan Steele

I’m not much of a star photos guy.  At least, I  haven’t been in the past.  Not because I don’t enjoy seeing super late night images with the stars gleaming, but because I live near a fairly large city, and light pollution makes capturing images of the stars problematic.  It requires a drive a good…

Long Daytime Exposures

Posted on May 14, 2014May 14, 2014 by Jordan Steele

There are many ways to add a creative element to your images, and one thing that you may wish to explore is adding time as an element in your photos.   You may know about taking long exposures in dim light or at night to get low noise high quality images in dark situations, but…

It’s Winter…Go Shoot!

Posted on January 8, 2014January 8, 2014 by Jordan Steele

It’s that time of year again. If you live in a northern climate, the weather has turned cold (bitterly cold in the US this week), snow has fallen, ice is everywhere. It’s the perfect time to go out and shoot. Yes, that’s right, the perfect time to shoot. While outdoor photographers all love shooting in…
