Pergear 12mm f2 Review | Better Than Expected

I was expecting the Pergear 12mm f2 to have a lot more of the imperfections and sort of wild characteristics of their other lenses. But it doesn’t. It’s actually way tamer, with very nice contrast and pretty good sharpness across the frame. I’m actually impressed. I was not expecting this lens to be actually viable…
San Clemente Life | Nikon Z6 + 35mm, 85mm

Now that I’m not grinding down to the bone with work, I thought it would be cool to share some recent photos with a random blast of what’s on my mind. I’ll try to do this more often.
The Floating Torii Gate – Behind The Shot

Deep within Kyushu island in the Ariake Sea of Japan are these cool Torii gates that get flooded twice a day with the high tide. The official name for this spot is The Floating Torii Gate of Oouo Shrine. Not sure what the story is with these, every time I read up on them the…
Canon RF 24-105mm f4L Review & Sample Photos

The Canon 24-105mm f4 is true master of versatility with an incredibly useful 24mm focal length on the wide end, and some really nice reach with 105mm on the telephoto end. Walking around, shooting landscape photography, travel photography, HDR or events, you can use this lens in just about any situation. Build quality is really…
Aurora HDR 2019 Review

When I first started using Aurora back in 2017 it really felt like the beginning of something awesome. Like the baby alien that just burst out of Kanes chest in the first Alien movie, it took off running doing all these mysterious things behind the scenes. The little creature continued to grow while occasionally popping…
A Crazy Storm & My Current Landscape Workflow

We were lucky. The rivers all around us were on the brink of overflowing and many of the neighbor towns had to evacuate. We live in a giant apartment complex that could probably withstand a tsunami so we didn’t have too much to worry about, but as the rivers all around us started filling up…
Fujifilm 14mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

The Fujinon 14mm f2.8 is one of Fujifilms oldest (of the modern) lenses, it’s slow and noisy with a stepping motor focus system, but optics are everything and this 14mm captures some incredible images for both landscape photographers or those just looking to have a little fun with an ultra-wide.
Macphun Luminar Review

I’ve spent years learning all the crazy tricks in Photoshop for Landscape photography, building actions, buying plugins, etc. Then Macphun comes around and simplifies all that complicated workflow with a couple of sliders and a handful of filters. Brilliant!
Using A New Workflow WIth Aurora HDR

With the introduction of Aurora HDR into my workflow, editing has become significantly more efficient and quicker. However, it now requires the use of three different programs (Lightroom, Photoshop, and Aurora HDR) to achieve all the desired results. I could probably get everything I needed done in just Photoshop and Aurora, or just Lighroom and Aurora, but Lightroom…
