As a follow up to Why Social Media Matters to Photographers I wanted to share some key information about Social Media connectivity I’ve learned during my time as a web marketing professional.  In fact I’d like to delicately introduce you to the “birds and bees” of Social Media connectivity. When a content publisher loves his work he gently places… Yeah well I can see that analogy isnR

Most people think of Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.) as only a channel of chatter amplifying noise of millions of people or just a “fun” activity for those with too much idle time. Social Media in fact provides a means to reach a pinpoint audience in ways never before possible. As a photographer who has been sharing his work online since web browsers could first display images I’ve se

I hope everyone here in the U.S. had a great 3-day weekend. No rest for the wicked. Rather than venture out I decided to catch up on photos and churned through another 300 new images from Switzerland. While I photographed a variety of subjects I can’t help but get a chuckle out of my cow portraits. These photos were a pet project of mine, while I was capturing a variety of landscape, nature and travel photos. T

Going through an older set of images I came across this photo of Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park. This was taken from the tunnel lookout off Highway 41 as you enter Yosemite valley just as a hint of sun made its way through the clouds of a disintegrating storm. Usually I’m never short of words when it comes to photographs, but I can’t really say why I like this. Perhaps its the lighting and mute

While visiting Switzerland last Fall I was happy to have arrived in Interlaken during peak Fall color. The forests of Switzerland combined with the majestic snow covered mountains were a sight to see. Fortunately for me and perhaps you, my camera was never far from reach. Thanks to nature’s wide variety of Fall color even the most common activities, such as a train crossing a bridge, was transformed into someth

You’ve reached the peak of a small mountain. On your left is an eagle hovering in the wind with golden light illuminating its face, eyes and feathers. On your right is an amazing sunset with a scattering of clouds glowing red and orange yielding an amazing landscape photo opportunity. Do you photograph the eagle or the landscape? Hit the rewind button… You’re hiking on a trail you’ve never bee

One of the many things I love about wildlife photography is finding an animal to photograph that is so interesting it’s hard to take your eye off of them. One of such creature that I photographed during my recent trip to Costa Rica was the Vine Snake (Oxybelis fulgidus). The intensity of green color in this snakes scales is like nothing I’ve seen before. Not necessarily evident in this photo is that the s

There was a lot of curiosity as to what my new camera would be and it kept a lot of folks guessing as seen in my Reader Contest post Guess My New Camera, Win A Print. No one guessed the exact model (Sony HXR-MC1), but a few did guess I had my eye on a video camera. The one subtle… well not so subtle hint was the domain of my store/gallery site http://www.jmg-stock-photo-video.com. So why the Sony HXR-MC1? The S

The 27th episode of EXIF and Beyond has been released (duration 51 min. 14 sec.). Trey Ratcliff, who is also known online as “Stuck in Customs”, discusses his photographic journey, influences, and of course his specialty High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography.
