Finally made it up Mount Washington with Nikki! She and I haven’t been able to hike together since we lived in Montana! She’s been, I’ve been, just not together. So she and I put Mount Washington on the calendar for last weekend and finally made it! We made it to the summit via Lion’s […]

Welcome to the second part of my fuji X-T1 camera review. This post will focus primarily on how the X-T1 performs while shooting weddings. Part I of the review (which focuses on landscape photography) is here. I broke the review up into two sections because the two genres are quite different and I figured it’d be […]

Made it out to snag a sunset. I was doing an architecture shoot and noticed the sky was getting some great color. As soon as I was done I tried to make it to Beavertail in time but was a bit late… I ended up in Sheffield Cove and was treated to quite a show!

This post is a bit overdue and because of that it’s probably going to be a bit long… In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been in the process of switching my entire kit over from a canon full frame kit to a fuji APS-C (“crop”) kit. This has roots that go back about 5 years […]

I finally jumped into (the deep end of?) the pool… I bought a “drone”. I’ve been wanting to get into aerial photography for a long long time now. I’ve seen the drones available for a while now and I’ve watched them mature into a product that takes images that are sell-able but also into […]

Made it out to Elephant Rocks this morning. It looked like it was going to be a blown out bluebird morning with zero clouds but as I got closer to the water I noticed a low band of clouds on the horizon. As I setup to start shooting the land was getting just warm enough […]

Made it up to Mount Washington/Tuckerman’s Ravine/Hillmans highway last week. We set out to possibly go all the way to the top with plans to ski the ravine on the way back down. Avalanche conditions were considerable (3 out of 5) with wind load on frozen slush with zero visibility up high so we went […]
