Photoshoot and Beyond
When Nikon showed off the D5 at CES last month, Canon devotees muttered, “Just wait!” Now the wait is over and Canon has announced their forthcoming flagship DSLR, the EOS-1 D X Mark II. While the blazing 14 FPS frame rate and shiny new autofocus technology will deservedly garner much of the attention over the […]
As a working professional who relies on Canon gear to run my business, I get excited when I wake up to news that there’s a new flagship camera on the market. This morning, Canon dropped the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. While I am a self professed non-techie, I still felt obligated to check out […]

It’s classic. My only small bit of constructive criticism would be to try a frame from a slightly higher angle. It […]
In my past two articles I took a look behind the scenes at the National Weather Service with an introduction to the Forecast Discussion and severe weather alert products. The NWS web page is a buffet of weather information that should fill you up when you are planning to photograph outdoors in dynamic weather, but when […]
