Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 Detailed Review & Sample Images

The new Tamron's 15-35mm f2.8 Ultra-Wide Zoom lens has now shipped and I've been lucky enough to get my hands on one. This is the latest and greatest from Tamron and is designed to feed the hungry 50 megapixels on the new Canon 5Ds and other high megapixel cameras. To see how true this claim is, I've spent the last few days testing this lens with both the Canon 5Dmkii and the Sony A7r with the metabones MKIII adapter.

Countdown To Japan

The countdown begins. I am doing the Japan tour again in just three weeks! This time, it will be different; I’ll travel with friends, and my goals will be slightly…

Niagara Nights

Niagara Nights At The Niagara Falls

This trip to Niagara Falls was my last adventure where I shot exclusively with the Canon 5Dmkii.

HDR Landscape Photo of the Horseshoe Bend

The Good Luck Bend

It's also known as Horseshoe Bend. It's located just south of Page, Arizona, near the border of Utah. This is the start of the Colorado River out of Lake Powell. The area is known as Glen Canyon. Hanging this photo on your wall could also bring you good luck. :) One magical characteristic of horseshoes hanging on walls is that they hold in good luck. They have to be facing upward, though. Oftentimes, people turn them upside down, and all the luck pours out.

How To Make Money as a Landscape Photographer

Recently I've been poking around at how many pro Landscape photographers have made their money. It seems to be one big mystery with many different opportunities. Some old-school landscape guys recommend that people looking to get into it just pick a different career. But what's funny is they all say the same thing: stock photography is dead.

Hermosa Beach Pier Sunset

Hermosa Beach Pier Sunset

This is a photo I took back in 2012. I never got around to processing it, but I'm glad I waited because my Photoshop abilities have improved dramatically since then. This photo is made up of two separate exposures. Without two, the skies would have been blown out.

Landscape Photo of Lower Antelope Canyon

Buried Alive – Lower Antelope Canyon

I'm struggling to go through all my photos from last year and finish processing them before I get my new Sony A7r. I know once I get that camera, I won't want to touch my old 5Dmkii photos anymore, even though they are perfectly good.

Epic Monuments – Canon 5DmkII

This is another one from Monument Valley. I'm kind of tempted to go back there this winter. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, though. There have been a lot of storms this month already. I don't want to get stranded without four-wheel drive in a Utah snowstorm.

Artists Point Monument Valley

Artist’s Point at Monument Valley

Finally getting some time to go back through my photos. I haven't posted much from Monument Valley, and I really think this is one of the more spectacular places I've been to in a while. The place almost seems fake or unnatural. I've also been playing around a little with the VSCO presets.

Sunset of the NYC cityscape from top of the rock

NYC Epic Sunset

I have so many photos of NYC from the Top of the Rock that it's fun to pick one here and there and go crazy with Photoshop just to see what happens. I'm still learning more and more techniques so I'm getting a lot faster with it. Unfortunately, when I was in New York, I didn't do a ton of photography since so much of my time there was spent figuring out how to get from one point to the next.
