A blog about Photography, top industry gear, and celebrating those behind the camera.
A few weeks ago, in Wisconsin, I shot my first live sporting event with the OSU Rugby Club. Since I do not shoot a lot of sports, I was nervous about how the shots would turn out. I really wanted to take out the Nikon D750 after going to the release event at our Learning […]

Photography is mobile, now more than ever. Unless you work in a commercial photography studio, you probably go somewhere away from home base to take photos. No matter where you have to set up for a photo, everything you need has to be with you. So to be mobile, you have to travel light. Thats why there […]

This past week I had the opportunity to go on the Columbus Night’s Photo Walk led by Aaron Sheldon. For having rained all day, it was a surprisingly great turn out with about 10-15 people or so. I was excited and nervous to be shooting long exposures with a 10-stop ND Lee Big Stopper filter […]

This was a terribly difficult decision, since there were so many photos that did what street photography does best, which is capture a specific, real moment before it […]

I’m a fan of using remote shutter releases. They’re great tools not just landscapes or self-portraits, but work as well in any controlled setting where you are working with people—think child portraits or commercial shoots. Remote shutter releases let you step away from the camera so you can show your subjects your face, instead of […]

Spring is a great season for street photography. The snow and ice are melting, the sidewalks are clear, and people are happy to be out in the temperate weather. The theme for our Spring Photo Contest is good old-fashioned Street Photography. Submit your best images in outdoor public spaces. Buildings and storefronts are acceptable, but […]

This week, we were lucky to have Aaron Sheldon set up a photo walk at Easton Town Center to capture their holiday lights display. The walk began at 6pm, and despite it feeling like -100 degrees that night (which was why I brought Freehands Photographer Gloves), the twenty or so photographers who showed up were enthusiastic […]
