Photography Gear For Colorado Fall Colors
I'm packing up and heading out this weekend to shoot the fall colors in Ouray Colorado. I've really only spent about 3-4 days in Colorado in my life and they were all near Denver during winter. So heading to the southwest part of the state, to Ouray, will be a whole...
Why You Need To Print Your Photography

The Secret to Photographing Beaches/Waves
I'll often get the question about what's the best shutter speed to capture moving water/waves on a beach. Do you want a longer shutter speed or a shorter one? I always hate the answer I'm about to give you, but I'm going to say it anyway. It depends (don't worry, I...

Should Your Web Portfolio Look Like Everyone Else’s?
Last week on our weekly talk show, The Grid, Scott and I (along with our guest Colby Brown) did an entire show on website portfolio critiques. It was a little bit different from the photo critiques we usually do because we didn't talk about the photos, but rather the...

On my last trip to Las Vegas I wanted to get out and shoot. I've been to many of the places around Vegas and I really wanted to shoot something cool. I knew that Zion National Park was about a 2.5 hour drive, so I made plans to spend a night there. I figured I could...
No Time To Get Organized in Lightroom? Then Don’t!
Hey everyone. I posted this over on my Lightroom blog today, but it's something that I really think can help some people out there so I decided to cross-post it here (not to mention that I've been really busy this week so it was a quick way to get both blogs taken...
