Every year I end up going to the Del Mar race track at least once during the season. Usually it is for some after race music event or another. This year was no different as I went to shoot Steel Pulse, but before the music I wonder around and photograph the horses, races and anything [...]
As I mention here in an earlier post, theere is a new Joe McNally book on the horizon. The Hot Shoe Diaries, Creative Applications of Small Flash is now official over at Joe’s Blog.
If this is even half as good as The Moment it Clicks, then it will deserve a reserved spot on my bookshelf.
I was lucky enough to be on the sideline last night for the warmup before the San Diego Chargers and Seattle Seahawks Monday Night Football game.
I used the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 along with a Nikon TC-20E 2x converter on a FX sensor camera. That gave me a 400mm f/5.6 lens that got me in nice [...]

After getting back from the photo walk yesterday, I loaded my memory card into the reader and used Lightroom 2 to import the images onto my laptop. Since the walk was to promote the new Scott Kelby Lightroom 2 book, I decided that I would do all the post proccessing with only Lightroom 2.
So here [...]
Today was the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk held simultaneously around the world with more than 8,000 people participating. Well, let me rephrase that, 8,000 people signed up and if the turnout was anything like San Diego, there will be about 3,000 people actually photographing.
The signups for San Diego was closed weeks ago when the 50 people capacity was [...]
The most common question I get is: “What is your workflow like?”
Thats a good question and I want to answer it in a series of Blog entries. This entry is a basic overview of what I do and the tools I use. The other entries will break the workflow into smaller pieces and go into [...]
This has not been a good two weeks for my gear. My main Nikon body, the D2X started developing a problem with the hot shoe, causing any attached flash to fire sporadically. This started when shooting at the San Diego Comic Con and was one of the main reasons that I used the Sony A700 as my [...]
Adobe recently released Lightroom Ver 2 and I am currently running it on my main production computer. I will have more to say about it after it has been used for a while in real life situations. So far, it is great, with some big changes and some little tweaks.
This blog entry is actually a [...]
