There are a lot of filters out there today so the question begs – which ones do you actually need for landscapes? Our guide Matt Meisenheimer covers the best filters for landscape photography. Matt also talks about a key filter accessory that will save you money. Matt recommends filters from Breakthrough Photography, as they use […]
The Redwoods are the giants of the forest. They are the tallest trees on Earth, with some growing beyond 350 feet and reaching ages of 2,000+ years. Each May, we visit the Redwoods during our Coastal Oregon & California’s Redwoods workshop. The timing for the workshop is carefully planned around the possible Rhododendron bloom, which […]
Nikon recently announced a new Z series camera, as well as some additional Z lenses (albeit not the 100-400mm that Nikon users were hoping for). Although, this release isn’t groundbreaking, it is promising that Nikon is finally doing something. It’s great that this announcement followed up the new macro lenses so quickly too. Nikon could […]
Here it is, as promised, the wildlife edition of the best cameras you can buy in 2021. I think one of the most important differences between wildlife and landscape photography is recognizing what specifications are most important. While autofocus and burst rate are life or death for a wildlife camera, they don’t matter much for […]
The Oregon Coast stretches 363 miles and includes some of the most dramatic and rugged seascapes found anywhere in the world. It is a landscape photography paradise, with enough beaches and coastline to photograph for a lifetime. During the spring of 2021, Matt Meisenheimer and Kenton Krueger led a workshop focused on the southern coast […]
Canon just announced an awesome new mirrorless RF lens – the Canon 14-35mm f/4. This is a huge release for Canon, in my opinion, especially for us in the landscape photography realm. Why? This lens delivers a 14mm ultra-wide perspective, a reach through 35mm, it takes 77mm threadable filters, and all of this is packed into […]
We’re in a day and age when almost every new camera that comes out, from phone to APS-C to full-frame to medium format, is an absolute workhorse and capable of capturing amazing images in its own right. We’re also in a time where every ‘professional’ release is pushing and expanding the boundaries of digital photography. […]
Fall is undoubtedly one of the best times of year for photography. Each fall season, photographers flock to the mountains of the west, to the deciduous forests of the northeast, and even to the desert southwest in search of epic color and light. What if we told you, though, that one of the best kept […]
What is your favorite spot in the world for photography? This is a question that comes up quite often and it’s a tough one for sure. The world is such a large place and there are so many amazing sights to see and photography. But, when the question does arise, my mind goes to Iceland […]
Composition is such an important aspect of landscape photography. It makes or breaks an image – a great composition will surely make an image stand out. Understanding and creating effective compositions can be hard, it can be a struggle, it can make you go crazy… But, It doesn’t have to be that way! In this […]
After a long period of no new releases from Nikon, we finally have some new Z lenses slated for release. Nikon recently announced the release of two macro (Nikon calls them ‘micro) lenses – the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S and NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8. Both lenses will be available July 2021. […]
Olympic National Park is located on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington, which is just west of Seattle across the Puget Sound. Olympic is home to some of the most unique and raw wilderness in the park system. It is home to some of the best-preserved temperate rain forests in the world, rugged coastlines dotted with […]
We just wrapped up the standard version of Canyons of Utah: Zion & Bryce. This is a workshop we offer in spring, fall, and winter – each season offers something special. Spring is a great time for lush greens, spring storms, and even wildflowers. It’s one of my favorite times in southern Utah. And of […]
Our guide Matt Meisenheimer just picked up a Nikon 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens. This lens will allow Matt to carry just TWO lenses and be covered from 14-200mm. In this video, Matt discusses the Nikon 24-200mm and compares it to the two lenses he is replacing – the 24-70mm f/4 S and the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 AF-P […]
Seascapes and ocean scenes are some of my favorite landscapes to photograph. They are also some of the most challenging scenes to approach – from a technical and creative standpoint. Kenton and I are preparing to head out for two weeks of workshops in the Pacific Northwest (Olympic National Park and Coastal Oregon & California’s […]
