  • Jumping Spider

    It’s been a while since I broke out the macro lens so I took the opportunity to capture this jumping spider last weekend. All of these shots are with the Canon 1D MKIII and the Canon 100 2.8 macro lens. More photos after the jump.

  • Old Sigh Race Series 7/3/2013 THE FOG

    This week’s Old Sigh race brought out only 3 boats thanks in part to the dense fog that covered Buzzards Bay. The photo above is Hardtack moments after appearing from the fog about 50 yards from the finish. Photos available for sale here.  More photos after the jump…

  • Photoshop Tilt-Shift

    I’ve always loved the tilt-shift photos by Vincent LaForet  (if you haven’t seen his work it is definitly worth it the aerials and the tilt-shift stuff are my favorites).

You know the posed group photos of the womans club or the scholarship recipients. It is obvious that these photos are important for a local paper to give recognition to the people […]

  • Flickr the archive

    I realize I am a bit late to the flickr party but recently I have been going through my personal photo archives and uploading all of the keepers to Flickr. This was prompted when I realized how badly I need to put a portfolio together. So one day while I was going through them I […]

  • So how good is the IPhone 4 video?

    Pretty damn good. If you are on the fence about the IPhone 4 let me add this to the reasons to get one.  I have a bunch of really great camera equipment but it is not always practical to carry all of this stuff, so for a long time I have thought about picking up a […]
