Big News! ON1 Photo 10 Announced
It doesn't get much bigger over at ON1. Long before I was there, each year around this time, ON1 announced the newest version of their apps. So I'm really proud to say that Photo 10 is now official. This is a really cool time for me to see because I feel like I had a...
A Landscape Photography Summit You Don’t Want to Miss
I'm thrilled to announce a brand new conference/summit for landscape photographers. Seriously, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time, so jump on it if you're in to landscape photography. It's called The Great Smokey Mountains Photography Summit. My...
Landscape Photography with the Tamron 15-30mm Wide Angle Lens
One of the most popular blog posts on this site is my review/thoughts on the Tamron 24-70mm lens. Well, a few weeks ago I got a hold of the new Tamron 15-30mm (Amazon Link / B&H Photo Link). I used it the entire weekend while teaching/shooting with one of my Tampa...
Editors Choice – My Hot Air Balloon Photo with the Sony A7 II
I was really psyched to find out my hot air balloon photo made the Editor's Choice section in the latest Photography Masterclass Magazine. A while back I was out in San Diego at a Sony Alpha event and got a chance to take a hot air balloon ride with some of the new...
Yosemite Landscape Photography Trip Recap
Hey there everyone! A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to head out to Yosemite to co-teach a workshop. I'd never been before. And Yosemite has definitely been on the top of my bucket list for years, so I was really excited to get out there. Side Note: I'm really...
Beach Sunset – Painting or Long Exposure Photo?
It's funny how the results of long exposure photos never get old to me. One evening last week the kids wanted to go to the beach to fly a newly bought kite. Now, that's a disaster story in and of itself. But... you'll be happy to know the kite did indeed make it home...
Have You Read About Escaype? The New Weather Service for Photographers
Okay, I just read about this new service that's coming out, Escaype, from some one on 500px.com so I checked out the website. Apparently it's not fully launched yet, and I haven't tried it out. But there's a way to join now because there seems to be a cap on how many...
Lightroom Training Galore!
I'm heading out to San Francisco today (Monday) to teach a free Lightroom class (tomorrow) with my bud Jared Platt. Jared's an awesome instructor, and just an overall funny and cool guy. I've been at various events with him a few times over the years, but we've never...

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to announce that my latest Landscape Photography class just went live. Last August, we went out to Mt. Rainier National Park to record the class. Mt. Rainier has just about everything from waterfalls, lakes, streams, mountains,...
Landscapes From Above
Hey everyone! I thought I'd share a few photos from a really cool experience last week. Sony had a small event in San Diego and invited me out to give the Sony A7 line of cameras a try. Part of the event was a hot air balloon ride pretty close to sunset. While I've...
Photoshop Experts Test Their Skills at Photoshop 1.0
Okay, this video has nothing to do with landscape photography (which I usually try to keep the topic to here), but it's just funny to watch. When I was at Creative Live the other week, Craig Swanson (the co-founder of CL) asked if I'd participate in this experiment he...
