How to Capture Starbursts and Sun Flares

While in London, my new friend, Dave Williams, helped lead a Photo Walk. Dave is a travel photographer and, as luck would have it, he lived in London. He knew all the good places to shoot! Since I was one of the leaders of the walk, I didn’t have as much time as I would […]

Synchronizing folders in Lightroom

As much as I try to keep my workflow minimal and simplistic, sometimes there are other pieces of software that I’d like to use that don’t seamlessly integrate with Lightroom. When you use a third party program to edit a picture outside of Lightroom’s knowledge (i.e. when Lightroom is closed), Lightroom doesn’t have a chance […]

Wildlife Photography – You Can Use Flash

I don’t use flash very often and I especially don’t use it very often with wildlife but it is possible. For this image made with a Canon 1D MK II and Canon 500 f/4 lens, mounted on a tripod with gimbal head, I used a Canon flash with a Visual Echoes FX-1B “Better Beamer” Flash […]
