Review: Nikon D750 can see in the dark
Firstly, yes we know this is a terrible photo. It’s not supposed to be the best Milkyway you’ve ever seen. It was taken as a test shot for the new Nikon D750. Let’s start by talking about what you know about the Milkway. We’re guessing there’s 3 basic things. Firstly, its hard to spot with the…

Summiting Shasta.
[wzslider autoplay=”true” info=”true” lightbox=”true” exclude=”2404,2405,2380″] Mount Shasta, an active volcano in the northern part of California. One of 22 peaks in the contiguous United States (a.k.a the Lower 48) to stand over 14,000 feet tall (or 2.6 miles or 4267 metres if you prefer). At 14,179ft it’s just a tad shy of the California giant…

Review (Sony NEX 6): Our Sony NEX 6 weekend at a Kentucky Derby party
We’re still hunting for the perfect big sensor point and shoot for the long hikes we take. You can see how we summed up our interactions with the Fuji X-Pro1 (ambivalent), Nikon V1 (liked), and the Olympus EP-2 (hated) at the various links. Last weekend was the chance for Sony’s NEX 6 to shine. Now…

Tutorial: Powering a GoPro for days with external power and an intervalometer
Adding additional power to a GoPro is easy – you simply buy the GoPro Extended Battery or you plug an external source into the mini USB hub. Unless that is, you want to do something extreme, then you need to give it a bit more thought. The Problem We’re carrying two GoPro Hero3+Black Editions on…

Wow, I had no idea my eyes were so buggy, my nose so big. And where did that scar come from? Still, I like this. Thanks

Tutorial: Building a Smaller 1st Person GoPro Hiking Rig
This is a follow-0n post to our previous tutorial. The rig works well on wide open trails but is a little awkward getting in and out of the car, and is a total nightmare when trying to use it in overgrown forests and other ‘tight’ spaces. So, we redesigned it! It’s now smaller and less…

RAW Artists: San Jose – a night in 2 mins
As you know RAW were kind enough to invite us to exhibit some of our more unusual images at their latest show in downtown San Jose. The evening was a blast. To celebrate the event we decided to make a video of the entire evening from set-up to take-down. Unfortunately the camera failed after a…

Tutorial: Building a 1st person backpacking GoPro rig
We’re off up a big mountain soon and figured it would be cool to film the whole process. The hike should take 3 days so there’s no point making a movie, instead stop motion is required. We’re going to carry two cameras for this, one pointing where we’re going, the other where we’ve come from.…

Tutorial: Turning Star Trails into Comets (with Twinkles!)
Star trails can get boring. Let’s make twinkling comets! But first here’s a story for you. Back in the day, in darkest Winter, the Rangers at Yosemite National Park used to build a big fire on top of Glacier Point and when it was good & hot, they’d push it over the cliff and give…

Experience PhotoshopScaresMe Live!
Well this is new, PhotoshopScaresMe is getting its first live show. We don’t know the details yet but we’re guessing they don’t want to see our boring travel / nature / people photos, they want our burning stuff. The presses are currently running hot as we print out on large sheets of metal. This is…

New Version: Russell Brown’s Image Processor Pro
We love Russell Brown‘s Image Processor Pro. (But our version is better) Russell works for Adobe and has delivered some amazing scripts that make the sort of thing we do here a lot easier. We rely heavily on his Stack-O-Matic and equally so on his Image Processor Pro. You can find all his scripts here http://russellbrown.com/scripts.html…
Got any book recommendations?
