The video game I worked on is out on iPhone and soon to Android!

Since the beauty of fireworks are the light trails they make, it’s best to use a longer shutter speed. Think somewhere around a couple seconds, but because fireworks all vary in size and duration, the best technique is to use Bulb Mode so you can have the shutter open for precisely the time you want.

Get rid of haze in your photos the lazy man way

Everybody has photos like these in their collection whether they use a $50 point-and-shoot or a 5k DSLR: images with a lot of haze and no punch to them at all. I decided today to browse through some images that would normally not be included on my site just to show you how to add a little more life to them.

How to Photograph Lightning

In this tutorial, I describe how to photograph lightning including camera settings and words of warning. Lightning is dangerous. Shooting lightning in conditions like this is not at all difficult. At the very least, try to have some cover and never drink cocktails when shooting lightning!

New Photos from La Jolla – Just before the tragedy.

I was able to get a couple pics before my camera took a tragic fall off an eight foot ledge into some sand. All I can do is hope it wasn’t too bad. It was not a good day for me.

I took some photos at Sunset Cliffs here in San Diego the other day.

My dad and I used to surf here from time to time so it was kind of cool to go down and take a trip down memory lane.

New Photos from Beautiful Northern Italy

It’s taken some time to go through the thousands of photos I took over nine days in Italy. It’s amazing how many inspired scenes can be found around every corner in this country. This trip focused on Northern Italy including Milan, Como, Florence, Chianti, and Lucca and I can’t wait to go back and explore the southern spots. Hopefully next year.

Remove unwanted people from your photos!

Another group of photos from Kauai

This is the last group of images from the garden island.

More photos from Kauai

Yesterday we had the breathtaking opportunity to view Kauai from a helicopter. Here’s a couple pics of the Na Pali coastline as well as some shots from our adventures today.

I’m flying to Kauai Friday. Expect photos.

I leave for Kauai on Friday and am anxious to see the island so many have told me about. I will be photographing sites every day and will post the images in my blog.

Photos from the Yucatan Peninsula

One of the most beautiful places on earth. Warm Caribbean waters, fresh water cenotes, Mayan temples, and some of the best snorkeling you’ll find anywhere. More images to come…

What would happen if a tsunami hit New York

My new painting is finished. Tsunamis and global warming could create some of the best surf ever seen in some very unlikely places.
