Hello everyone, a student from my recent Long Exposure Workshop told me about this wicked iPhone app. It helps you calculate your long exposure times once an ND filter is in place over your lens. In the past, I used to do such exposure calculations with the aid of a table. This table also gets [...]

Hello everyone, found this interesting article here talking about a digital version of the HOLGA. If you ever shot with one of these, you may be wondering if a digital version would make sense, especially one with full frame sensor that would command a relatively hefty price tag…. The HOLGA is all about being cheap [...]

Hello everyone, WOW! What an incredible weekend! Thanks to all that showed up, it was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I cannot remember another consecutive 3 days in which I have taken more photographs. It was a true pleasure meeting and photographing all of you! 11 Photographers worked [...]

Hello everyone! I’m out with my long exposure workshop group this afternoon. One of the students graciously lend me his Nikon D70 that has been converted to infrared (check out lifepixel.com for more info).

Below are some images we shot that night, complete with ‘strobist style’ diagrams so you can learn more about how [...]

The renovations have finally paid off and we are ready to show the world what we have created. Our 2 main studio spaces will be branded as PhotoHaus Studios, watch for a new [...]

Couldn’t resist posting this image: We were sitting on our new studio rooftop just in time for yesterdays Fireworks show. Not a bad view at all. I only had a mild telephoto lens handy, otherwise could have gotten in even closer. Exposure was about 10 seconds, enough time for several blasts to accumulate on a [...]
