We created our own little tour and took a jaunt to Borgarfjörður Eystri to search out puffins. Overall, this was one of the most fun days we spent in Iceland and one that I will remember for the rest of my life. We spent 5 hours in Borgarfjörður Eystri and those could have been some of the best 5 hours that I had in all of 2017.
Read MoreHave you ever been preparing for an international trip and suddenly panic, "oh no, where's my passport?" Lots of us have. I found myself in that boat last year when I was preparing to go on a dream trip to Iceland, I searched high and low for the passport that I hadn't seen in over a year. I turned my house upside down, the garage was thoroughly searched, boxes from my old apartment were torn apart, and yet I found no sign of my passport. With no other answers, I messaged the organizer of the trip that I wouldn't be going.

Should you join the crowd on Vero? Or is this app just another flash in the pan? I've been using the app for a week and have written down my initial thoughts on my experience.
Read MoreTook a dream trip to Iceland back in May 2017 and instead of returning to edit photos of the trip, I returned to file insurance because I lost my equipment to a waterfall. How did this happen? How am I going to replace my equipment? Did I get a girlfriend? All will be answered in the blog!
Read MoreI start out to walk on the ice and my previous experience comes back full force, my legs were shaking as I'm walking across the frozen lake. Pretty soon I'm standing on crystal clear ice and everyone has left the lake, so now I'm the only person still there. If something bad were to happen, well I probably wouldn't be writing this blog.
Read MoreThis one saying is almost always true; "bad weather makes for good photos". We found out just how true that saying would be on a recent trip to Crested Butte and Aspen during the peak of the fall foliage during September. Kebler Pass is a mecca for photographers during the fall and it's no wonder why with the sprawling vistas of golden aspen trees. Our trip down there was primarily to camp but the weather didn't allow for us to enjoy camping much.
Read MoreI rented Canon's 11-24mm f/4 lens for a little while and have a review on my experiences with that lens. Was the price and weight worth the extremely wide rectilinear lens, how would it handle Denver's sunflowers, and is it possible to shoot portraits with this lens? All and more will be answered within.
Read MoreThere are lots of reasons that we love wide-angle nature and landscape photography, it's grand, powerful, and you really feel like you're in the photo. Which is the ideal of landscape photography if I'm not mistaken. But because I needed something to write about and I have lots of photos that I need a reason to share, let's dive into why you should ditch your 16-35mm f/4L lens and zoom in more!

Read MoreAs a photographer with a photographic memory I visualize scenes that I witnessed, often years prior, and set a visual bookmark to make sure when the time is right to take a photo like what I saw a long time.
Read MoreOne of the questions I often get asked when out shooting is what type of filter I'm using and why I use that neutral density photographic filters. There is a lot of information out there on the subject of photographic filters but what I hope to establish is how I use them as a landscape photographer and scenes that I think are best suited for their usage.
