Taken with a 1Ds Mark III and a 24mm Tilt Shift lens this panoramic of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset is comprised of (3) three vertical images. The ability to create seamless panoramics with the 24mm Tilt Shift is quite simple. Shifting the lens from left to center to right you can easily obtain distortion free images that blend together with minimal effort. Golden Gate Bridge Panoramic Sunset [tags]San Francisco,
Most of us are familiar with Batman and his secret lair the bat cave. It’s where he hangs out to collect himself and experiment with new gear. Photographers are no Batman, but most have their very own “bat cave” to experiment with new equipment and techniques. For some photographers its a studio and for others its a specific part of town they’re most familiar with. This past weekend I was expe
Camera family that is… After much saving and obsessing I’ve added a Canon 1Ds Mark III to my camera bag as of last week. If you picked up that I was posting less frequently last week now you know why. I’ve been spending my limited free time reading up on the manual and taking test shots here and there. The latest being the image below of the Golden Gate Bridge as seen from Baker Beach. Many of you k
January 15th was the big day at MacWorld Expo 2008 and as always I made my annual pilgrimage. Apple is doing well these days and as a result the number of vendors attending the expo seemed to be at an all time high. I can’t recall a MacWorld that was as large and well attended as this one. On the other side I thought this was one of the poorest run MacWorld events. Pre-registration hardly yielded much benefit.
Check out the epic 2010 Mavericks Surf Photos taken February 13, 2010 Saturday was the 2008 Mavericks Surf Contest and I had the opportunity to photograph it from the shoulder of the surf break. The event was incredible as always. Surf conditions were big to say the least and the performances of Greg Long (the winner of the contest), Jamie Sterling, Grant Washburn, Grant Twiggy Baker, Even Slater and Tyler Smith were
It’s been a great year for photography and as the year closes out I thought it would be fun to select my favorite photos from the year. I had a tough time narrowing things down so here they are… Honorable Mentions: Honorable Mention #6: Los Angeles Sunrise This was one of the most dynamic cityscape I took this year, but as much as I liked it compared to some other photos taken this year it didn’t ma
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather as of late so my Friday post is going out a little late. In keeping with my water theme for the week here is a photo that has grown on me. This long exposure was taken at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica at sunset. The surf has a misty quality to it, the surfers have nearly become washed out and the pastel hues accentuate the landscape creating a surreal scene. I think at
A sunset view of waves crashing along the coast here in San Francisco. The lighting was quite nice on this particular evening and the back-lighting on the waves caught my interest. Although not the jaw dropping image that my Mavericks surf photos might elicit, I still think this is as equally an interesting subject. Sometimes the simplest things we look past make the most interesting nature photos. [tags]San Francisc
