    I’ve been improving my timelapse photography skills, and this evening’s sky provided a wonderful opportunity to practice a little more.  This sunset is somewhat deceptive, as it appeared that the sun would just hide behind some clouds as it set.  However, just as it crossed the horizon, a gap opened in the clouds and almost…

    I don’t believe I’ve ever lived anywhere that provided such gorgeous sunsets nearly every day.   This evening I missed the best part of the sun setting, but managed to grab a timelapse of just after the sun went down and the sky began to fade.

    The wildfires in surrounding areas have blanketed my city in a dense, thick smog. It was so thick this morning on my way to work I could not see the sun at all, though there were no clouds in the sky. Shortly after I arrived at work, the sun barely started to peek through the…

    Christine and I have always wanted to see some of the more exceptional parts of the Earth, and last week we were privileged to be able to check off one of the places on our list: Alaska! We set sail from Seattle, WA aboard the Carnival Spirit cruise ship – this ship is massive at…

    Erica recently started taking violin lessons. Every day she practices for a few minutes, and the dog can’t seem to help herself. She sings right along. [mp3j track=”GingerSings.mp3″] This seems to be the only instrument to entice the dog to sing – the piano, guitars, etc she just ignores.

    So you have an artistic eye. You see the world in ways that are unique, interesting, and different. You want to share this world view through your photography… but one of the greatest frustrations new photographers encounter is that when they get back to their computer and pull images off the camera, the results are…
