Made it out to Sachuest yesterday morning again. I know you guys are probably sick of this place, but I love it for some reason. Whenever I don’t know where I should go, I go here as there’s so much variety to experiment with. It’s also got some decent wildlife options which is great and […]

Went down to Beavertail Sunday morning. I actually didn’t even see the sun rise over the horizon for this sunrise as I wanted to explore the western side of the point. There’s a bay there that gives you a really nice look at the lighthouse I’ve always wanted to shoot and it turned out to […]

This weekend was a bit of a slow weekend. Nikki didn’t feel well either day, so we didn’t do much. Saturday we went to the Fool’s Rules regatta in Jamestown with Elias and watched them build the boats. It’s always fun to guess what will work and what doesn’t, then watch them break! There were […]

Went down to Sachuest again this morning. The clouds rolled in just in time for the sunrise and left shortly after. It was pretty much perfect as there was just enough breeze to keep the mosquitos off.

Edit: this post was done before I’d had the bag for long. I’ve since done a video review of this bag that’s more in depth. Check that out here. The video is also the header image you see above, click that and you’ll be able to watch the review here. Thinktank announced the retrospective line […]

I converted my 10-22mm to be able to be used on FF over the weekend. I wouldn’t call it a full conversion as it’s NOT and EF lens, and you CAN damage your FF camera (and possibly 1.3) if you’re not careful, so proceed at your own risk… But, taking canon’s rear baffle out and […]

Went down to Hazard Ave again this morning. Decent morning but lots of fishermen… Someone decided to scale a fish right in “the spot”, and not only that they smoked about 5 cigarettes while doing it leaving all the butts behind. I guess fishermen don’t respect the sea/environment the way I do but it’d frustrating […]

Busy weekend this week. Jed & Stephanie got married Friday night in MA. It was a great ceremony and the reception was a great time. Lots of family to catch up with as well. It was fun seeing everyone all cleaned up. My parents baby sat Elias at our house Friday night so we could […]

It’s been another fun week in the Jacobsen house. I didn’t realize there wasn’t sailing Monday night so we all went down to my parents house for Dinner. That was great. Elias has been working on his potty training all week with some success, but Nikki really made progress with him Saturday while I was […]

Just got back from Limerock shooting ALMS. Wow. WOW! Loved it. It’s a bit of a drive (3 hours each way) and a long day on your feet, but it’s soooooo worth it if you’re a car guy. Seeing these things up close is amazing, then seeing them race is just incredible. VERY loud, […]

I’m getting reading for ALMS this weekend at limerock. I’ve always been a fan of cars, and when it comes to racing there are 2 series I like, WRC (Rally) and ALMS (LeMans). Well ALMS races an american circuit every year and one stop is in CT (near where I grew up). I made it […]

So part of the switch to canon meant I could downsize my filters to 4″x6″ panels. The sigma 12-24mm and nikon 14-24mm both needed X pros in order to work. The 11-16 I have now and the 10-20 I was considering both work well with Zs which are smaller, cheaper, lighter, but more importantly available […]

Went down and shot the beach this morning. The sunrise wasn’t spectacular but it was still worth shooting. On the way home I also stopped by the nest at the bridge and got a shot of the owners. I was surprised to see three at first, then the 4th showed up!
