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…

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…

Yosemite Elves and Sprites (light painting in the forest)
As you saw in our last post, we recently visited Yosemite. We did this in part to capture the stars but also to hunt down the mythical forest-dwellers that spin light in to art. Without comment, here’s 4 of their attempts. A tutorial might follow. Depends how they’re feeling.

“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…

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…

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…

One Nite In Yose-Mite
[wzslider autoplay=”true” info=”false” lightbox=”true”] I was lucky enough this week to have a spare few hours, so I ran away to Yosemite national park to play in the snow. Prep-work Check the weather forecast. Perfect. Big blue sky, little cloud, and shockingly low temperatures. Check the moon phase. Perfect. 20% waning crescent from 2pm to…

Heavens Above – I’m in Photoble
Looks like I’ve made another list of lists kinda website. This picture is used in Photoble as one of 20 examples of long exposure. Colour me happy about it. It was one of the first real long exposure shots I took. The image is taken from Glacier Point, overlooking Half Dome at Yosemite National Park,…

Yosemite HDR
Were very lucky to live close to a great National Park – Yosemite – so we go as often as we can. Mostly we just hang about, but sometimes we make magic. Light painting in amongst the trees. Waterfalls and stars. A day in the life of… Heavens above.
