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…
Shooting The Wave With The Sony A7r & Zeiss 35mm

I finally had a chance to go to The Wave this month. We actually did the lottery and won on our second try. Lucky us, I guess. Some people have tried 9 times with no luck. I never really thought The Wave was all that cool from pictures I’ve seen, but really, once I was…
Splash – Oahu Wave Photography

When I was in Oahu a few weeks ago, I shot some photography like this: super close to the water as it splashes against the sand or surrounding rocks. It’s actually not the smartest thing to do with an expensive Sony A7r, but after a few very close encounters, I decided it was enough. But…
Winds Edge – Oahu Hawaii

After driving around the Island a few times, my wife and I found this cool spot. It was near China man’s hat and was one of the few places in Oahu that’s pretty vacant of people. I thought it would be a rainy day, but in Hawaii, all you have to do is drive fifteen…
