I've got several thousand clicks on my D7100 and, maybe I'm a total idiot but... I just discovered the option to turn on the "Virtual Horizon" in the viewfinder and I'm pretty stoked about it, simple as it is. I actually kind of chuckled when I first saw it, but it'll work! Feeling a bit...

Some shots from a recent return trip to one of my favorite shooting locations, Salton Sea, CA. This desolate location has an odd, haunting beauty that keeps me coming back. When I look at these shots, even I find hard to believe they were all taken in such close proximity to one another...

This young mom and daughter (names withheld by request) were kind enough to let me get some shots of them recently and were taken for someone else, actually, who makes and sells the crocheted hats and scarves you see them both wearing. Working with people on this level is not my forte, but I...

For this installment we are going to be discussing another tool that can lend power to our photographic composition, one that directs attention to our subject. A good photograph, as has been mentioned before, has a clear subject and may contain numerous subordinate elements. My feeling is that...

So here's a picture of a snake wearing a party hat. And a cowboy hat and a sunhat and a Derby and... PostSript: Don't blame me if you don't get the reference.

For the second installment here I figured I'd cover what is probably the most talked about and single most suggested compositional guideline (rule) I know of: The Rule of Thirds. This compositional guideline is much more flexible and is applicable in many more ways than I often see covered in...

Went to the local glider port over the weekend where people come to para-sail and hang-glide. I've skydived a bit but never done either of these activities. Looks like fun though! D7100, Nikon 18-105mm w/CPL @ 1/250, f/8 (most likely). ......

Well I did it. I'm not *happy* about it but, I did it. Pulled out my credit card and grudgingly paid for an Adobe Creative Cloud membership to the tune of $20 a month starting today. Since I bought my version of CS6/Photoshop with an academic license through the college I work at, I am *not*...
