Each year, I like to perform a retrospective on my photography from the last twelve months. Because of my geeky nature, I like to perform a cursory statistical analysis of what I shot and contrast that to what has gone before. The pictures chosen are picked by month and typically represent a favorite...

A shot like this doesn’t come along without some post processing help. Even with the best slide film of the day and ideal conditions a shot like this straight out of camera is difficult if not impossible to achieve. I thought for this edition of Behind the Shot, I would show some steps along...

Sometimes, either because of deliberate choice, forgetfulness, or the constraints of our camera mode, even us dedicated RAW shooters fire of a JPEG or two. That is what happened here. The full-auto mode of my Canon G10 only shoots JPEG files and I didn’t notice that I had bumped the dial. Grab...

Chasing the sunset across the sky can be daunting. It is a race you can never win. I sped down the back roads of western North Dakota in July, my eyes desperately scanning for a suitable foreground element, as the sun receded in defiance. I am going to have to make something from nothing, I [...]

I have included some of my favorite sunrise images from my last few seasons of photography. Sometimes it is hard to drag myself out of bed-especially in the summer months when sunrise is before five am. I am usually rewarded for my efforts-as you can see below.

I hear the mutters as they walk by on the trail, glancing in envy, or perhaps disgust at my giant white lenses dangling around my neck.

The amazing feature about metadata and programs which wrangle metadata is that they allow for analysis in minutia of your shooting habits. It so happens, I am...
