Yesterday I posted this photograph so if you’d like to find out the exact details about it go to yesterday’s post.
I created this video to show you how and when to use your visualize spots tool. This is a very important tool when it comes to removing sensor spots. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to clean your sensor often and if you can’t do it yourself or take it in this is when this tool comes in really handy.
When I see people’s photos and they are really really nice but they have sensor spots it takes all the goodness away from a beautiful photo. It is important that when you spend so much time editing a photo you finish it off my cleaning all the sensor spots. A trained eye will always see these sensors spots first and immediately be turned off.
In this video I will show you how to take care of your sensor spots if you have any questions please leave them on the comments below and please subscribe to my YouTube channel for more awesome tutorials and cool videos.
On our way to Rhyolite Ghost Town you have to go down this road. It looks like it goes forever and into a different planet once it enters a different galaxy.
I have seen this road in many pictures before and never realize how long it really is. When you get there it’s one of those places you have to just jump out of the car and take a picture of it whether you’re a photographer or not.
We hung out here for about 15 minutes, and we couldn’t get enough pictures of this road. When suddenly cars started pulling over and taking pictures with us, it was really really cool to see the same reaction on other peoples faces.
Camera Settings: 1/125 sec f 14 ISO100 (both photos same settings)
Rhyolite Ghost Town Dinner is located right outside Royolite. It is a really cool place and has a feel of a Hometown diner. When I walked in I immediately pulled on my camera and took this photograph. I couldn’t help but to smile, everything just looks so cool, it’s quiet and it smells like home.
Burning Man 2015, what a weird crazy year just like the rest of them. I could go on and on and on ranting about Burning Man, but I think you rather look at the photos and try to figure out wtf happened. Here are some of my favorite photos from Burning Man 2015.
Just imagine being in Mars with 60,000 aliens for 7 days. Thats kind of what its like, but not quite… Scroll down to watch a quick vid of the temple burn… I’ll be adding more photos as I go through them, check back soon.
This is the last photo I took as we were leaving the burn. It was amazing getting to the hotel taking a long hot shower and sleeping in a real bed before driving back to Texas then jumping on a plane to Miami…
Here is a short poem I wrote in a hotel room a few weeks ago. I paired it up with this photo of the temple burning out at Burning Man a few weeks back. Actually this was born from looking at this photo while putting some words together…
Everything goes up in flames
the good the bad and even the strange days
the heart breaks and the tears
even your biggest fears
You don’t have to worry
this is all too temporary
just keep walking slowly
towards the mortuary

Well after the sun had set the waves were getting really big at La Pared beach in Fuerteventura Spain, out of the corner of my eye I spotted this surfer, it was starting to get really dark but he didn’t care, he just wanted to surf into the night.
Air
Represents things that grow, expand, and enjoy freedom of movement Associated with will, elusiveness, evasiveness, benevolence, compassion, and wisdom
Azure window in Gozo Malta. After the sun set the wind followed the blue hour, you could hear it cutting through the rocks making a beautiful melody that just made me smile.
