Long lenses have always been something I’ve used in my photography. When I first got a film body in the 90s I had a 70-300mm variant. I’ve since gone through four camera systems (canon, nikon, canon again, fuji and now sony). On each system I’ve had a long lens of some sort. They basically fall […]

I was invited to actually surf today. Instead I took the camera along and had some fun but stayed warm and dry! I’m working on a Sony 200-600mm review but figured I’d share 4 images from today. I’ve got a ton more surging images to edit but figured I’d get one done tonight. Enjoy.

The really right stuff multiclamp is one of those accessories you don’t realize you need, but once you own one it gets used a lot more than you thought it would. We’ve all been there. Some super scenic landscape location, but with a railing telling you not to get any closer. You set your tripod […]

I skied 100 consecutive days this past winter. Not a 100 day season, (yes I got that too, I’m at 143 days on the season as I write this in May and 31 consecutive months) but 100 consecutive days. I did this by becoming a ski instructor at Bridger this past winter. I worked there […]

Long time no blog. Yeah, I need to work on that. Yes we’ve moved to Montana. Yes this year/spring/summer/fall has been a blur. I’ll work on better updates… BUT! Sony released a fast 24mm lens! This was my daily lens for the PADs I did back when the kids were born. I’ve switch systems (twice!) […]

I love seeing bald eagles. Both of these are nests close to the road where eagles are usually there anytime except winter.

We took our first family camping trip this weekend. We went to mammoth hot springs and had a blast. Of course it snowed on us at night but there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing (we were ready!). And of course we stopped at the boiling river on the way home! ” […]
