So which photo do you like best? The sitting duck or the flying duck? Back in April I was out on a lake with DV Wildlife Tours, and we saw some Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks in early morning warm light. The conditions were almost perfect. Sun at our back, wind at our...

Last year I happened to see an Osprey catch a fish on the beach and then land on the beach to start eating it. At the time, I hadn’t seen this happen before. Usually, they catch the fish and bring them high up on a building or tree before they settle down with...

I’ve had this idea for some time now. Sort of starting a journal in to my bird and wildlife photography. While it may seem sudden to some of you that I’ve been doing this type of photography, it’s actually been about 5-6 years now – my first...

Every year around this time, ON1 Photo Raw gets a big “dot 5” update which is free for existing users of that version. So I thought I’d take a few minutes to give you a quick overview of what’s new. As always, for more details information check...

I recently made a video talking about how I’ve moved my Noise Reduction (and some sharpening) over to Topaz’s plug-ins. Well, they just released an update to DeNoise AI so I wanted to take a few minutes to show you what’s new in the latest version....

A couple of weeks ago I released a video called “I was wrong” (about my Noise Reduction and Sharpening workflow). In the video I explained my photography evolution from landscapes to wildlife and how I was always telling people I don’t use noise...
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated.
