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.…

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…

“The Best Damn Vernal Falls Photo In The World”
There’s quotes around the title. That means someone said it. That means it’s true. Ego much? 🙂 This time of the year there’s very little water in Yosemite National Park. The snows have not yet settled. Last year’s Winter was mild. Everything is as dry as a bone. And of course, it spent the summer…

[updated] Nikon Needs to Fire someone Part 2
I’ve posted before about how I’d fire someone at Nikon given half the chance because their product lineup makes no sense. Thanks to Nikon Rumors, I now have even more evidence that they’re nuts over there. The above picture shows how their camera range is laid out. Makes perfect sense doesn’t it? Buggers. Still, I…

Burning Jeep and the Milky Way at Crater Lake
Here’s our crazy idea. Let’s take a picture that’s never before been done. We’ll start with photographing the entire visible Milky Way, from the bit where it hits the Earth in the south, arcing all the way over to the bit where it hits the Earth in the north (bloody great example here ) .…

3 Weeks in Alaska
[wzslider info=”true” lightbox=”true”] Hey, so we’ve been quiet for a while. Sorry about that but to mis-quote Douglas Adams, all sorts of things kept cropping up. One of which is that we spent 3 weeks in Alaska and Vancouver. There’s no tutorial here, and no ‘family’ photos. We’ve hundreds of shots that we’ll share on…

America is burning
We know this isn’t a photo tip but we’re getting a lot of questions about our safety. The short answer is yes, we’re very very safe where we are. It looks like San Fran might have some power and water issues in its future but the right people are working on solving that. In the…

Burning at the night garden
Our friends at the Star Circle Academy were kind enough to let us play with fire again. The trip to the beach was a hoot, as 15 or so new friends learned how to burn and spin steel wool & magnesium, how to use light painting to plant a night garden, and generally improved their…

One Night Of Good Carma
CARMA is the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy. Bet you’re pleased you now know that! We were under the impression that you could see it from the side of highway 395, south of Bishop CA, and north of Big Pine. Our plan was that we’d jump a fence and spend a night avoiding…
