Santa Monica Nights – Behind The Shot

Some sunsets or scenes are so amazing that they don’t need much post-processing. I’ve spent days on some shots, and minutes on others. This shot was quick and easy to process, and I’ll show you the tools I used. I have different techniques for processing my images, depending on the quality of the shot and…
Exploring San Francisco

Walking around San Francisco for a day is probably one of the best ways to test a camera. I was considering getting an Olympus E-M5 II for this trip but decided I hadn’t done enough with the Fuji X100T yet to start exploring other cameras. Exploring San Francisco – X100T It was one of those…
American Dining

I’ve been driving through Central and Northern California doing the thing you do when you do that whilst shooting all on the Fuji X100T. Except in Yosemite, I shot a little with my Sony A7r. Lately, I’ve kept that solely as my landscape photography camera, reserved only for when Mother Nature is in her most…
Fire In The Sky

I just picked up the new Tamron 15-30mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens and have already had a few great experiences with it. I’ve been working on a detailed review but still need one more day with it before it’s done. Look for that tomorrow or this weekend. So far, I’m only liking it, not loving it.…
The Rental Jeep On The Big Island

Renting a Jeep to take photos with on the Big Island of Hawaii is fun. I rented one for two days to see if those 4 wheel access spots were worth it. They were not. I’m pretty sure those tourist guides and the rental car companies profit from each other. Needing a 4-wheel drive on…
Intricacies Of Work

It’s been a crazy month for me, and I’ve had very little time to go out and shoot cool locations. Work tends to do that. However, it should be slowing down here very soon, which means more photography. The FujiX100T’s low profile makes it easy to carry everywhere. Editing for G-Net allows me to capture…
An Evening In Culver City

I think this was the first place I lived when I moved to Los Angeles from San Diego seven or eight years ago. To the outsider, Los Angeles is just Los Angeles. If you’re from San Diego, anything north of Camp Pendleton is considered Los Angeles; if you live in Colorado, anyone from California is…
A Fuji Xmas At Big Bear

For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, my wife and I decided to get out of town and go up to experience winter in Big Bear. It was also a great place to take photos with the Fuji X100T. I originally planned to shoot some landscapes at Big Bear Lake or Lake Arrowhead, but you know…
Above The Sky – Mount Kilauea

I meant to get back into some of my photos from Hawaii, but I’ve just been so busy doing all the Fuji X100 T-tests and reviews that I keep forgetting. I got some nice shots in Hawaii; it’s almost too easy when you go to such an amazing place like that. Every place you go and…
Going Handheld – Antelope Canyon

This was my second visit to the Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona. It’s a great place to stop for a few hours if you’re ever driving through. This time I did things a little different. I had with me a Sony A7r instead of my Canon 5Dmkii and decided to just go in with the…
