Ryan Park Sunset
by Ben
Stopped by Ryan park on my way home tonight to grab a shot of the amazing clouds. Of course I got there about 15 minutes late, but I’ve got a 24mm TS-E on loan from canon so I “needed” to test it out.

Happy Birthday Grandma J!
by Ben
Grandma J (my Dad’s Mom) turned 91 last week and we were fortunate enough to be able to fly down to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend to spend some time with her. Elias did very well on the airplanes and LOVED the beach. We went for long walks on the beach every morning we […]
Myrtle Beach sunrise 10.9.2010
by Ben
While I was in Myrtle Beach visiting my Grandmother for her 91st birthday I decided to get up early and shoot the sunrise on the beach. It was a nice change of pace from all the water and rocks back home, and also because the sunrise is a full hour later being that far west […]

Point Judith 10.2.2010
by Ben
Dave and I went down to Point Judith this morning. The storm and it’s associated clouds had already passed through so the sunrise was a bit tricky to shoot, but it was fun seeing the surfers show up before the sun was over the horizon and paddle out. We stuck around to shoot some surfers […]

Happy Birthday Vovo!
by Ben
Yes I know I’m a week behind on these shots, but I’ve been super busy trying to merge 3 of my sites into one (this will be one of the lasts posts on benjacobsen.com, click here to see this post on benjacobsenphoto.com). But we’ve been having a ton of fun with Great Grandmother’s lately. Elias […]
Watch Hill 9.26.2010
by Ben
Finally made it down to Watch Hill RI this morning. I skipped yesterday morning because I woke up at 4:30 and you could CLEARLY see everything in the back yard with the bright moon and ZERO clouds in the sky. Because I missed the day where someone else in the group had called the location, […]

StepStone Falls 9.26.2010
by Ben
I also hit up Stepstone falls this morning since it’s on the way home from the lighthouse. I couldn’t believe how low the water was there today as I’ve only seen it with a lot more water flowing. It was a lot of fun to be able to explore the area by simply walking down […]

End of the summer iphone update!
by Ben
Sorry to dump this many shots on you guys at once, but I haven’t grabbed the images off the iPhones in a while so I decided to put them all in one gallery and share them with you guys. So enjoy almost 100 shots from early July through late september! Nikki gets credit for most […]
Photokina 2010
by Ben
I normally don’t post too much about new camera announcements (even though I follow them pretty closely, I’m obviously a gear nut!), but this year’s photokina has 2 new compact cameras that have caught my attention enough I thought I’d mention them. The first is Fuji’s X100. It was announced before the show and EVERYONE […]
ThinkTankPhoto Lens Changer 3 video review!
by Ben
I recently picked up a lens changer 3 from thinktankphoto. Well, I guess I shouldn’t say recently, I tend to take my time evaluating a product before I consider reviewing it because I want to see how I like the product after the initial “honeymoon” has worn off. For this reason my bag reviews generally […]

Newton Ave 9.18.2010
by Ben
Went down to Newton Ave Saturday AM with Brian. We had a nice time shooting the sunrise. It wasn’t epic, but it was MUCH better than last weekend. We went down to PJ and then Monahan’s afterwards to look for surfers but really didn’t see much.

Well it’s been a busy and fun weekend. The above shot is actually one I DID NOT TAKE. Credit for that goes to Brian Harrington who’s a friend of mine through the forum and a fellow landscape shooter. He and I shot Newton Ave Saturday morning then went down to Point Judith to check the […]
