      I have been busy shooting and processing these last two days, last two abso-stunningly-gorgeous mornings to be more specific.   I thought I would share a quick overview of my workflow.  This is the general, aerial view of my workflow – depending on the shoot- commercial or personal-  I will make a...

    I was recently asked for a recommendation for a lens in the 24-105 range that wasn’t as expensive as Canon’s lovely 24-105 F/4 L IS USM lens.  The lens is optically quite wonderful but at nearly $1000 it is a serious comitment.  So are there other options in this range...

    If you use a mid-range or higher DSLR this is likely an option and something I recommend you consider.  I switched to back button focusing about six months ago and find it 186% better than the standard method of shutter focus.  Ok, so I totally made up that percentage but it seriously...

  7. STOP – Don’t Buy a Canon Rebel T1i, T2i or T3i

      Because the announcement of the Canon T4i is right around the corner, mostly likely within the next two-three weeks.  Now this doesn’t necessarily mean that the T1i, T2i or T3i become instant crap – in fact I imagine for many folks I will still recommend those cameras – they...
