Risk Appetite
I love this post by my friend Mason Marsh, “Risk Appetite.” Photographers take all sorts of risks when shooting, and sometimes it ends up with broken camera bodies and human bodies. What’s your risk appetite? Yes, I want to capture great photos, but I also like being in one piece. He writes: I feel for ...
Tethered Shooting with Fuji Cameras via iPad
I’m seeing more examples of wireless iPad workflows for reviewing photos during a photo shoot. Most “tethered” situations require DSLRs (and usually just Nikon or Canon models). In this article, Don Craig employs an iPad, an Eye-Fi Mobi card, and the app Photosmith to sync images and metadata to Lightroom from Fuji cameras.
South Falls Bridge
I want to return to Silver Falls State Park near Silverton, Oregon, because I feel like I only scratched the surface of the area when I visited in October. This photo was shot crouched at the edge of the creek near a bridge at the South Falls. If you like the work I do, please ...
Shawn Blanc: Grandpa’s iPad
Great, touching post by Shawn Blanc about his grandfather, who is legally blind, using the iPad as a camera: At first, I wanted to snicker. But how could I? If my Grandpa wants to use an iPad to take a picture of his grandson and great grandson, then who cares? Certainly not me. … My ...

So You Want to Attend a Photo Workshop
Frequent readers here know that I thoroughly enjoyed a photo workshop I attended last October. It was a chance to focus solely on my photography, experiment with styles I didn’t have much experience with, and drink a fair amount of really good coffee. But what other aspects of a photography workshop are important? I enjoyed ...
Rumors of an iPad companion app for Lightroom surface
Last week, 9to5Mac posted an article about a leak on Adobe’s Web site that revealed what appears to be a Lightroom app for the iPad. According to the leak, the app would be a service that costs $99 per year (or may be included in a Creative Cloud subscription). A Lightroom app for iPad was ...
Using Cameras’ Built-in Wi-Fi at CES
Derrick Story has an article at Macworld about how he used the built-in Wi-Fi capabilities of the Canon 70D and Olympus OM-D E-1 and their respective iOS apps to share images during the day when he attended CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) early this month. Manufacturers are finally getting the message that built-in Wi-Fi is ...
New Life on the Rooftop
You know how common photo wisdom doesn’t always sink in? When I’m making photos, I often find myself forgetting important advice such as “Look up.” It’s so easy to scan everything at eye level or lower (especially when you’re tall like I am) to locate good scenes. So I now try to make a conscious ...
iPad for Photographers featured in Amazon’s ‘Resources for New Photographers’
Amazon.com has created a new Featured Reading List called “Resources for New Photographers,” and my book appears along with a host of great company (McNally, Kelby, Arena, Batdorf, Foster, and others). All nine books look good—I’ve read about half of them, and several ‘Snapshots to Great Shots’ titles appear on the list. Go check them ...
