Beach Photography

  • Alik Griffin
  • October 2, 2025

Like most people, I love the beach, I love shooting there, and I always love great ocean and beach pictures. I grew up on the beach and have spent a lot of time in the water—hours a day surfing on summer break or between semesters. It's safe to say I've learned a thing or two about the ocean and how it acts. I hope to share several photography tips I've picked up when shooting pictures of the sea in this post.

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 12, 2024
  • No comments
This is a shot of the Yosemite Falls. I singled out the color of the man at the base of the falls to really capture the scale of the falls.  This trick is pretty easy to do, and there are a few ways to do it. I did it with Lightroom. Here is how.

The Latest on Rolling Shutter Solutions and Fixes

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 15, 2024
  • No comments
After all the big updates to DSLRs this year it would seem they are still the only choice for the filmmaker on a budget.  And it seems none of the manufacturers have done anything to help the distortion (also known as skew, or temporal aliasing) from the rolling shutter.

Fixing dead or stuck pixels on your DSLR

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 13, 2024
  • No comments
Something every photographer should know but might not be aware of are dead or stuck pixels on your DSLR sensor. It’s something that is very common with DSLRs and often goes unnoticed. The reason is, apps like Lightroom4 and Aperture automatically remove them.  I only noticed it on my camera because I shoot a lot of video. None the less, you don't want them on your raws.  So here is what they are and here is how you get rid of or fix them.
