Do you wanna hear how dumb I am? Well, I was playing around with my D800 when I noticed a little lever on the left hand side of my viewfinder. Curious, I pushed the lever up and up came a silver-metal divider that closed off the viewfinder from getting any light in it! All this time I've been...

I took these images yesterday while on on Mt. Soledad in La Jolla. This is a compilation of 17 individual 36mp images and spans ~170-ish degrees from west to east. Needless to say, the original file is quite large! That rainstorm you see on the left ended up hitting sooner than I was expecting...

The homes here in the La Jolla hills are some of the nicest homes in San Diego and home to Ted Geisel (aka - Dr Suess) until he passed away in 1991. This was taken at the top of Mt. Soledad this afternoon.

Here's a cool series of photos I took at the MCAS Miramar Airshow. I'm guessing this is jet fuel or maybe gasoline? I was lucky enough to catch the fuel before it was ignited.

Wow, I knew my telephoto lens with my D800 was powerful but who knew I could capture a NASA probe on Jupiter?!? :p

I want to use my variable ND filter to take a photograph of a busy street corner and want the exposure to be at least 15 to 20 min long so that it appears to be a completely vacant of people. But the problem I have is back calculating the length of exposure to ND without having to do several 20...
