Looking Down the Takachiho Gorge

This shot is from a higher elevation on the path that follows the edge of the Takachiho Gorge. The Takachiho Gorge is located on Kyushu Island in the Miyazaki Prefecture of Southern Japan. This gorge is a natural wonder formed by volcanic eruptions and erosion. There are several great spots to take photos, from up here above, and from down below. There are also trailers around where you can find some different views.

Transcend U3 SD Memory Card Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 21, 2018
  • No comments
Transcend is one of the better memory card brands when it comes to performance. They're UHS-I cards aren't quite as fast as what you can get from Sandisk, Kingston and Delkin, but they are all around decent cards and Transcend is a very reliable brand that has been making memory cards for a very long time. They also have a wide range of cards that run at different speeds for different applications. I only use and test the fastest Transcend cards.

Lexar 600X SD Memory Card Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • November 13, 2017
  • No comments
The Lexar 600x has just about the same performance as the 633X but is a touch slower. The 600x is also only available in the U1 speed class where as the 633X can be found as both the U1 and U3 class.  In terms of performance and speed, the card is about average, it's not a very fast card but not slow either. The only reason you would be buying this card is if you wanted something inexpensive for a camera that didn't require high speed memory cards.

Delkin 633X SD Memory Card Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • November 13, 2017
  • No comments
The Delkin 633X U3 is an incredibly fast UHS-I SD memory card and gives even the top brands like Kingston and Sandisk a run for their money. The Delkin 633X is often in the top of the list with the in-camera memory card speed tests and Delkin is a very reliable and trusted brand. This makes the Delkin 633X a great buy for those looking for an alternative to the Sandisk Extreme Pro.

Manai Falls at the Takachiho Gorge

This photo shows the Manai Falls of the Takachiho Gorge. It’s on Kyushu Island in the Miyazaki Prefecture of Southern Japan. This place surprised me with how cool it was in real life. This area is stunning, especially in the fall. The Manai Waterfall is one of the top 100 falls in Japan. You can rent small row boats and paddle through them, which is how I got this photo.

Once Upon a Time, There was the Grand Canyon

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 13, 2024
  • No comments
This is a photo of the Grand Canyon. I think it was Navajo Point, but I'm not positive. This and Mather Point are my two favorite spots so far. Eventually, I want to see the Grand Canyon from the north side. Lots of cool stuff up there, but it's a bit more out of the way. I think this spot is only like four hours or so from Las Vegas, making it about eight or nine hours from my house in Los Angeles.
