Here is a gallery of macro photography that I’ve been working on.  I don’t use a proper macro lens.  Instead, I use a macro adaptor as well as a cheap metal ring that allows me to mount my lenses on backwards.  (I know it sounds odd, but search Amazon.com for “reverse lens mount” and you’ll [...]

While exploring campus last night, I found that Sage Chapel was still open, even though it was somewhere between 9:00 and 9:30 PM.  I walked inside and after letting my eyes adjust to nearly compete darkness, I realized that no one else was around.  So, I did the logical thing and grabbed my camera, tripod, [...]

This evening I spent some time walking around campus and taking photos of the University at night.  I used my Canon 5D Mark II with either my 50 f/1.4 Sigma lens or my 24-105 f/3 L Canon for the job.  In both cases, I had to use a tripod and a remote trigger to get [...]

Here is a series of photographs that I took of Seattle, WA at night in late January 2011.  Most of the photos were taken at using a Sigma 50MM 1.4 lens on my Canon 5D Mark II.  The aerial photos were taken from the top floors of the Columbia Center.

This is a video I shot over the course of three hours one cold evening.  This time lapse was filmed as a 1080p HD video and speed up in After Effects.  The source footage for most of the clips was 5 minutes long and sped up to 2,000% yielding a 15 second clip.  For short [...]

This was the result of 15 distinct shots that were combined in Photoshop CS3.  The photographs were taken in portrait mode to minimize distortion between the edges of the frames.  All of the images were captured in RAW format and batch processed in Apple Aperture 3 to achieve a consistent effect across all of the [...]

This is a collection of 36 photographs that I took over one week in central California.  I used a Canon 5D Mark II and EF 24-105L and Sigma 50 1.4 and post processing was done in Apple Aperture 3.  I did use a Nikon 77 mm ⌀ for some of the daylight shots.  The night [...]

A series of photographs from around Minneapolis in the early evening.

This is a time lapse experiment that I have been tinkering with for the last month.  I wanted to try a new work flow based around raw images instead of JPEG images.  Every frame was captured as a raw image and imported in to an Aperture 3 library.  From there, I batch processed the images [...]

I’ve been experimenting with ways to take the best time lapse using the Canon 5d Mark II and I’ve come up with two distinct methods that are worth sharing.  The first method involves shooting normal video and speeding it up while the second involves a more traditional approach of shooting frames and combining them to [...]
