This post is a few weeks late. I’ve been super busy lately, then we were away (from computers) for vacation visiting my parents on the boat. So I’m just now getting to posting our last shots from 2011/Xmas. We had a great Christmas with Nikki’s family here in RI. I also managed to get out […]

Been shooting a bit since I got back from the delivery w/o much time to post. Sorry for the mass post, but I felt it was better to wrap up 2011 with ONE good post instead of three lesser posts from 3 different locations all at once… The first few part of this set is […]

This review is meant to be a bit of an introduction to tripods as well as a review of three Oben tripod kits. It has some tips on what to look for when shopping, what features you might want or “need” and to help guide you to making the right choice in your next (or […]

While in the Bahamas after the trip south, I was able to shoot both the sunset the day we arrived and the sunrise the next morning (before I left). Leo and Peter were nice enough to come with me, which was crucial as you really need to pay attention to get the dinghy in and […]

Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last few weeks. I’ve been slammed with work and holiday priorities, then I got to get away and sail avalanche to the Bahamas (that post is coming right after this one). Isabella has been struggling though a cold for a few weeks now. She’s getting much better and […]

yeah, but still not enough to ski… Dave and I went up to Tuckermans Ravine Saturday the 10th. We had great plans of an epic sunrise over the ravine as well as hermit lake. We left RI at midnight and Dave drove us “through the night” getting there at 4am. We then hiked in in […]

The f-stop loka is a hell of a backpack. That’s ignoring it’s ability to haul cameras. This is just one hell of a great backpack first, then it has this awesome system to add inserts into it specifically designed for cameras (f-stop calls these “ICU”s or internal camera units). I’ll get to that more in […]

I found out about this place Saturday afternoon. It’s in Middletown and ~1/2 mile from second beach. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven right by and never seen it, but after learning about it I had to go shoot it. So I set out Sunday morning for my sunrise with a clear […]

Well, we’ve had a long week with 2 sick kids this week. Elias has had a cough and cold that ended in him having an ear infection Saturday night. He had something similar a few months ago and we think it’s his tubes working their way out finally. Isabella went to the Drs last week […]

Sorry to drop yet another landscape ketchup on you, but I got the chance to get out and shoot two and a half times over the past weekend. First up was Gooseberry on Thanksgiving morning with Ed, Dave and Will from NSOP. Then we went back out again Saturday morning with the same group as […]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKI!!!! Sorry it’s been two weeks since my last update. We’ve just been super busy in the Jacobsen household with the holiday. Today is actually Nikki’s Bday. Funny thing about that is last night we were talking about how Isabella is also 8 months old today which lead us to calculate Nikki’s age […]

Made it down to Elephant Rock this morning. It’s right on the south western coast of Massachusetts. I’d seen it mentioned on Google+ the other day, and once I found it on the map I was interested. I actually though the better shooting location would be west near the beach club, but once I got […]

Sorry for not writing a bunch tonight, but the packers are on and I’m squeezing this post in between quarters… The best part of my week came tonight when Elias got to stay up with me to watch the Packers play on Monday night. The 8:30pm start is half an hour past his bedtime and […]
