China’s Yellow Mountains with NIK Silver Efex Pro 2
We took hundreds of pictures of the fog wrapping China’s Yellow Mountains but we simply couldn’t find a way to process them that met our expectations. After many months of trying our clever Photoshop tricks, we decided to dust off the NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 plugin and give that a go. These images are…

The Cormorant Fishermen of Guilin, China
We recently popped over to China to capture just one image. We wanted a picture of the Chinese cormorant fishermen of Guilin for our collection. What is that you say? It’s an ancient fishing technique where rather than using a line, the fisherman uses a Cormorant (bird) to pluck the fish out of the water and…

That time we nearly died at Hanakapi’ai Falls
OK, let’s clear up the title. Nobody died. Nobody nearly died. But hell, it sure felt like we were on the very edge. For hour after hour. We’re building our list of top 5 hikes. So far positions 5 & 4 are open. At 3 is the Grand Canyon. In number 2 position is Mt…

Hiking the ‘W circuit’ at Torres del Paine, Patagonia
TL;DR; We went for a walk. It was very nice. For 3 years we’ve been talking about hiking in Torres del Paine, with the sole purpose of capturing ‘that pic’. The reasons for not going sooner have been various but were led by the simple fact that we were intimidated by the idea of spending…

Cathedral Lake
The drive to Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite is a minimum of 5 hours from our house. Add to that a 3 hour hike, a bit of sitting around, another hike and another drive and you get 18 hours door-to-door. That’s how long it took us to capture this picture. We think it was worth it. You…

Another Russell Brown Update (Image Processor Pro)
You’ll recall that back in the day we modified Russell Brown’s Image Processor Pro plugin to be more inline with what we wanted. Now we’re not coders here. Sure we used to be. But back then COBOL was cool (COBOL was never cool). Anyway, with the update to CC2015 Adobe once again decided to make…

An Epic New Zealand Adventure
Christmas 2014 and we find ourselves in New Zealand. We’re not sure how because we were supposed to be in Patagonia but hey, there’s nothing to complain about a 2 weeks trip down under is there? Here we present some of the photos we took during our little jaunt. It was an odd trip. For…

UPDATED: To the library, and bring the candlestick!
‘Twas a dark and stormy night. Or something like that. Certainly there was a bump, something in the force that only Obi could feel, and crawling on the planet’s face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space. Well maybe. In what just might be the most brilliantly nerdy murder…
