DSLR on a shoestring. A must read for Beginner Grinners.
Find a Canon 20D ($300 used), unless you print 40" posters you don't need more than 8 MegaPixels and the D20's 5 frames per second burst for action and its ISO 3200 capability set it apart from the similarly priced Rebels. Buy a Sigma 18-200mm OS lens (from $250 used to as low as $375 new). Go out and shoot pictures for a… -
“Them Goblins Are Good People”
Goblin Valley, Utah is a state park near a small town, Hanks-ville, Utah.This town is one of those small towns that make you slow down as you drive through, so small in fact the town did not even have a stop-light. I'm sure the posted speed limit helps the town survive like all small towns. They do have a web page.… -
Winter wonderland
This weekend My friend Steve and I braved the frigid weather to shoot some winter landscapes. We decided to make the 3 hour drive to Cuyahoga National park south of Cleveland Ohio. We went there in the FALL, but I was recovering from a sprained ankle I damaged on a weekend trip to Hocking Hills, so I did not really get the… -
Pacific Coast Autumn 2012 - warning: image heavy
I took two different trips in late 2012 that allowed me to drive up and down the west coast. I stayed on 101 as much as possible, and my first stop was in the coastal Redwoods. 1. 2. 3. 4. My first walk on the beach was more about rain and fog than ocean. 5. 6. But as I moved up into Oregon the weather turned delightful.… -
Birdsville Races 2006
Hello all, I have posted some of these images on the site before, but thought that a bit of a story about the these iconic races might be interesting, and since it is "promote Australia week" or something in the US, I figured I'd do my bit to promote Oz. The races are rather famous here in Oz. They started in 1882 and… -
Zoe's Bay Area Road Trip - Point Reyes
For our annual summer road trip, my cousin Lanie and I took a trip up to the Bay Area the week of July 14-18, 2009. I wanted to do some longer hikes but my cousin wasn't feeling so well for most of the trip so we had to take things easy. I took over 300 photos during this trip. You can see them on my website here. And here… -
FIlm noir failure
Maybe I'm being hard on myself, but I'm kinda not happy with the image I produced a few weeks ago, to accompany a story about a play, "Noir Suspicions." The play is an audience-involved, 1940's style, film-noir, private detective murder mystery thing. I wanted to capture that film noir feel ... but I'm not happy. But… -
Fotocare & Jeff Hirsch
This is the second time I've posted a recommendation of Jeff Hirsch's store, "Fotocare". My experiences with Jeff just keeps getting better. Fotocare is a NY pro shop. Here is their web site. Here is my previous post. Nothing has changed since then except that I've gotten to know Jeff better and I have some recent stories.… -
A Mule Deer Morning
Howdy all, this is my first post here. Hope to make many more. I went on another hike this morning in the mountains, no real trail, just back country hiking. Pretty early in the hike I saw a small herd of mule deer. I already had my camera out and my tele lens on, so I started to slowly climb the side of the mountain… -
Our trip out west
Hey everyone! So last year my girl and I took a late summer>fall road trip out west for work and play. We started from her mom's house in Missouri going to Cali (San Fran, San Diego) and back. We had an amazing journey, but once we got back to Missouri, Megan had to stay due to family obligations while I continued back…
