Photographic Speciality/Style: Landscape Photography Short Bio: Something about the way mountains patiently and powerfully reach skyward will always captivate me. I live to capture moments of exciting, moody weather dashing and wrapping itself around the fixtures of nature. Sharing these moments with you through my photography is one of the most gratifying aspects of my life. I hope the purity and grandeur of our natural world prompts you to get out there to explore, respect and protect it. And I hope you share those adventures with me and everyone you see. Born in Ventura, CA. I gained an appreciation early on for the beauty and serenity of the outdoors. Whether it was camping with my family and friends or surfing countless hours until the sun went down. I have just…

Imagine that you happen to find yourself in the enviable position of having an extra $12,000 burning a hole in your pocket. What would you buy with that kind of cash? Are you not sure? Well then, let me make a few suggestions. First of all, there’s always gold. At today’s prices, you can get about 9.8 ounces (just shy of 300 grams) of gold for that price. Not a gold bug? Perhaps you’re looking for something that’s a bit more portable? Then how about a 2018 Nissan Versa? It’s not terribly well reviewed, but seeing as it starts at $12,855, you can probably wait until a dealership has a clearance sale that lowers it into your price range. Or maybe you’re feeling lucky - you did manage to have…

Sometimes shooting in small spaces can be a logistical challenge. You want the angle to be right, but you can't see the back of the screen. So how do you know if your footage is coming out the way you want it to? How do you know if everything is in focus or leveled? By using the Platypod camera mount as well as a monitor, you can really spice up your images with unique looks - without hurting yourself in the process!

Morgan brings to his commercial studio two special qualities: a keen appreciation of the bizarre and a knack for flawlessly executing elaborate shots.

You should clean your sensor on a regular basis because it's easier than photoshopping out every piece of dust. Here's how I do it! NOTE: Some mirrorless cameras have a cleaning mode, too, that you might need to turn on. Check our camera's manual. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Chelsea and Tony Northrup are photographers based in Connecticut.

Shooting people out in the big wide world can produce beautiful results. Outdoor portraits have a more relaxed feel to them than those shot in a studio, but can still give you dramatic and vibrant images. In this article we’re going to look at how to shoot outdoor portraits and get the best possible results every time. ESSENTIAL KIT When you shoot portraits outdoors, you’ll mainly be relying on the natural light which means a lot less kit to carry around! Obviously you will need your camera, be it a DSLR or CSC (mirrorless). Your choice of lens is paramount when it comes to portrait photography. Personally, I recommend a telephoto lens of around 85mm, although you will still get good results with lenses such as a 50mm or a…

This was my second visit to the southern tip of South America. My first trip in 2015 was incredible and resulted in some of my most successful videos. Even though this was a work-trip, and I just had 4 days, the amazing Torres del Paine National Park in Chile was a sight to behold. Early spring snow, wind and stormy winds were always part of the game. The weather completely flipped from warm and calm into a snow-storm within minutes. But that's what we expected and what makes Patagonia such a special and wild place. EQUIPMENT: Cameras: I filmed with an array of great cameras including the RED-EPIC-W "Helium", Nikon D850 and Sony A7rII. The footage was mastered in 8K at 60 frames per second. Lenses: Zeiss Otus 28mm f1.4,…

We look at the Sony 400mm f/2.8 GM lens. With a Sony a9, is this is the ultimate sports photography combo?
