I had the good fortune of working with nature photography icon William Neill to develop an iPad version of his book William Neill’s Yosemite Volume One. I can tell you it was a real treat being able to work with William as I’ve long been a fan of his photography and writing in Outdoor Photography. Even better was being able to review his work in close detail as I worked on his app and now you can too. Unl

Flooding was so extensive this past June in Yosemite that tons of unique photo opportunities presented themselves. One of my favorites was this view of a flooded meadow near Cathedral Rock. The railing is about 3-4 feet tall to guide visitors to walk around the meadow along Yosemite valley loop road. I can’t say I’ve ever seen the valley so flooded to the point water was coming up the shoulder of the road

There was so much interest in my previous article How I Evaluate Terms of Service for Social Media Web Sites – Google+ I thought the following helpful sites would address lingering questions I’ve heard and point you to incredible resources to help you make the best decisions possible when signing on to new social media sites or even decisions to stay with existing social media sites TOSback – the Terms of

On the shore of Lake Geneva outside the city of Montreaux is the Château de Chillon. It is one of the more iconic and photogenic castles in Switzerland. I can only imagine what it would have been like to call it home. From my limited time in the region I can tell you the mountain and lake views were stunning.

This photo is one instance where taking photos with my iPhone helped me hone a vision of an image I wanted to capture with my dSLR.  A fun day out with my camera phone helped me see something I’d have walked past otherwise. A little experimentation and I knew I had to return with my dSLR. Another instance of this occurred with the photo in my Trees in the Fog blog entry. These days I find myself experimenting a

One of my dreams is to visit and photograph every U.S. National Park. One photographer who has done just this is Quang-Tuan Luong. Recently Fotopedia and Quang-Tuan Luong teamed up to produce the Fotopedia National Parks app for the Apple iPhone and iPad. When I learned this app had been released I was very excited to take a look and provide a review. In short the application contains 3000 photos of Quang-Tuan Luong 

One of the biggest challenges I faced while in Yosemite photographing moonbows was ensuring that my camera would not be ruined by the heavy mist at the base of Yosemite Falls. The mist was so heavy that it was equivalent to being in a moderate rain shower with wind.  I was very fortunate to receive a ThinkTank Hydrophobia 70-200 rain-cover just before my trip and it sure helped keep my camera dry in trying conditions

To see the world in a new way sometimes all you need is some different lighting. While out photographing moonbows last month, at Glacier Point lookout, I enjoyed watching Yosemite valley transform as the full moon rose above the horizon.  To my amazement the moon low on the horizon painted the valley a subtle orange hue as you might expect to see during a sunrise.  I shouldn’t have been too surprised as the moo
