    Flying Frog

    I saw this this morning. Having done a bit of research a few places have been able to verify with NASA it is a real picture. Photo http://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2013/09/frogphotobomb.jpg ​ Article Frog Photobombs NASA Launch Photo

    Homecoming Game

    A number of people have posted their local high school American football games. Tonight was our local high schools Homecoming game so I decided to give it a try. My first impression when I started to shoot under the field lights was that it was pure crap and not worth wasting my time. Looking at...

    Lightning Shot

    I have wanted to capture lightning but to date all of the thunderheads have pretty much internalized their lightning. Tonight though I finally had a late to the party chance to shoot a few shots before the rain hit. Not sure yet how I like the editing... the bluish purple or the grayer coloring...

    Creatures of the Night - Goblin Valley, UT

    I went to Goblin Valley to shoot the Milky Way. Unfortunately the clouds did not cooperate so I turned my attention in another direction - the creatures of the night. This first one is similar looking to a dragon fly. However, these guys came out at night and normally have their wings folded...

    Milky Way - south of Wendover, NV

    Shot 15 miles south of Wendover, NV with no other visible light in the southern sky. The amazing thing is the the amount of light given off by the Milky Way at night when you're away from everything.

    Car racing photography article

    From time-to-time people ask about photographing race cars. I came upon this article interviewing race photographer Jamey Price. Page one is interview stuff. Page two (mid-page) on contains different suggestions and tips so I linked from page two. You can always jump to page one if you want the...

    Milky Way

    Getting ready to shoot the Milky Way soon so I'm messing around with and working on my skills to edit the Milky Way in CS6. Really looking forward to it as I will have a 11mm lens, a lot more know how, and a much better location.

    Starburst

    I call this shot Starburst because it looks like a shot of a star you might see from space. However, it is actually the moon with the right atmospheric conditions. I absolutely LOVE this shot and am proud of it. Be sure to click and expand the photo or you will miss the detail of the stars in...

    Light bleed - I need stitches STAT! - daytime long exposure

    I knew light bleed can be an issue on some cameras, but hadn't run into it on my D5100. However, my D7100 bleeds light like you hit an artery. I know the instruction manual identifies this and that you should use the the included shield. My point in this post is not to bash on the camera, or...

    Kelvin white balance

    I was going to send this as a message to Rocky as he just got a D7100 as well but thought that this would be great to share with everyone that hasn't explored the white balance settings of "K"elvin. When shooting a sunset or rise it never seems to match as well as I would like. By adjusting the...

    Prints - What company doesn't "auto-correct" your photo?

    I am so frustrated with trying to get proper prints done. Everyone's machines seem to auto-correct my photo's and screws them up. They tell me they are unable to stop the machine. On this photo the system darkened the sky to a deep blue, made the underside of the plane very blackened, and the...
