Capture One Pro 11

It’s time to throttle-up to Capture One Pro 11 people! As you probably already know from reading my article about switching to Capture One Pro, I love this photo editing software.

GNARBOX 128GB Portable Backup & Editing System

So what is this thing you call the GNARBOX? Funny you should ask. Directly from the manufacture’s website: “A pocket-sized device that empowers you to backup, organize, edit & share HD videos and photos, laptop free.” Hmmm. I have to say that up until a month ago, I had never heard of the GNARBOX. The

Fujifilm X-T2 Mirrorless Digital Camera

Say hello to the Fujifilm X-T2 Mirrorless digital camera. Another offering for photographers that aggressively thumbs its nose at comparable massive pro DSLR bodies from Canon and Nikon.

Snow Photography

The snow has begun to fall here in the west, blanketing mountain scenics in a carpet of white. When we head out on a snow photography mission, we need to pay closer attention to the light meters in our cameras. All manufacturers have different terms and technologies for their in-camera meters. All of

iPhone X – Is It Really the Future

“Say hello to the future.” Say hello to iPhone X. Apple Inc. iPhone X & The Future Last week my brand new iPhone X arrived. Apple’s marketing slogan for the phone is, “Say hello to the future”. I think back to my original iPhone. I adopted it the day it was released. It

DJI Mavic Pro – Fly More Combo

“Say hello to my little friend!” Sorry for the Scarface reference, but the DJI Mavic Pro is my newest, bestest, little friend. The drone market is on the rise. Predictions are forecasting that there will be over 29 million drones in the consumer marketplace by 2021. Who happens to own 70% of that consumer

Lightroom Classic CC is Here!

Let’s begin with what the hell is Lightroom Classic CC? Well, apparently the people working at Adobe have been taking some LSD and not sharing it with the rest of us. If you didn’t get the memo from last week there are now two Lightroom software platforms available. What we all used to

Staying Creative

I want to let you in on a not-so-secret, secret. My number one rule for staying creative, is well, as simple as – keep creating. Everything that you create leads to something else that is creative. Sitting stagnant in a room with nothing to do is the best way to NOT stay creative.

Assess the Risk of Photographing in the Wild

Have you ever heard the term, “Safety is no accident?” It was something that I used to say when I was in charge of building million dollar houses. This week we are going to discuss how-to assess the risk of photographing in the wilderness with other people. I have one more saying, this

Fear Logo by Jay Goodrich

Fear & Photography

Fear is a topic rarely discussed within the boundaries of photography. Everyone has a fear of something. For many of us, regardless of what we choose to do in life, fear of death tends to be looming over most people at some point. While many feel that fear is a bad thing, I

Sony a9 v. Canon 1DX Mark II

The release of the new Sony a9 this spring finally sparked interest in the mirrorless camera market for me. I have tested other Sony cameras but had hangups with their operation and how I specifically work as a photographer. When Sony announced the a9, their press release specifically addressed the issues that I
