  • Morning in the Gorge

    Morning in the Gorge

    This past weekend, I finally had some time to get out and do some proper shooting.  You know, where you get up early to catch the good light, you bring a tripod and really focus on the photography? I try to get out and shoot like this as often as I can, but given the…

  • Knowing a Location

    It’s been a little while since my last article, but be assured: I’ve got lots in the pipeline (including a review of the Panasonic GX7).  Today I’m going to touch on something I think is very important for photographers who shoot outdoors, and that’s getting to really know a location.  It’s especially important to know…

  • First Sign of Fall

    While the leaves have not yet begun to turn in earnest yet, the occasional tree here and there is slowly changing color and dropping a few leaves.  Spotted this partially turned leaf that had fallen into a puddle, creating a beautiful splash of color. This was taken with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Voigtländer…

  • Waiting at the Platform

    I took about 15 minutes today to finally get out and shoot just a little bit, since I have been working non-stop at home and work.  It’s been a while.  Anyway, there was a great blue heron just waiting along the river dock….and he made quite a striking subject (click to enlarge):

  • Butterflies!

    I’m working on a rather long in-depth post at the moment, but it’s going to take me a day or two to finish it up.  In the meantime, here are some butterflies, taken at the Franklin Park Conservatory, here in Columbus.  Click to enlarge:

  • Chicago Harbor

    Chicago Harbor

    I was in Chicago this week for business, and had a little (though not a lot) of time to go out and take a few shots.  I haven’t processed everything from the trip, but I thought I’d show two from the harbors along Lake Michigan.  The first is the Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, which was built…
