Simple Panoramics with Tilt/Shift lens.

Simple Tilt/Shift panoramic technique. I like using a Tilt/Shift lens for my panos because the post processing is super simple and I don’t have to carry a separate rotating tripod head specifically for panos. Though I do have to carry a specific lens, my Nikon 85mm F2.8 Tilt/Shift is also a macro lens, so I […]

Stamsund

The first time I saw this view (without the snow) was in the summer of 2001, sometime around 2:00 in the morning. It’s from a little mountain on the way to Steinetinden. It’s a very easy hike in summer, which gives an amazing view from the summit. When it’s covered with fresh snow, it’s a […]

Wellington

During the day I had scouted out a place which I thought would be a good sunset view of the city. But stupid me, I forgot to actually check when the sunset was, so when I returned about 1.5 hours too early ( I thought the walk would take longer than it did) I was […]

Bulldozer

Drove by this bugger the other day and thought it could make a cool photo, so I stopped by this evening. Didn’t quite get the shot I was looking for, need to bring a few more strobes nextime. Perhaps tomorrow.

sandspit shredding and kelly slater

Continuation of an epic day… After heading back from Rincon and dropping my self-employed buddy Tim (who does not have as much free time as a self-unemployed person like myself) off at his office, I was off to checkout sandspit, at the end of the breakwater in the Santa Barbara harbor. The parking lot was […]

rincon dawn

Got myself up at 5:00am this morning and headed down to Rincon for some pics of the big swell coming through. Even though we arrived in the darkness of the pre-dawn, the parking lot was already almost filled to capacity, a good sign. The surf was big. With sets coming in of at least 2x […]
