I created a new series on my YouTube channel called "5 Minute HDR".  Yes, it shows how I create a beautiful HDR image in 5 minutes or less using Aurora HDR.  Seem impossible?  It's not.  Read on and then watch the videos!  

Today I share a pair of images from the Grand Canyon in Arizona - it's quite a sight to behold!

Here's a group of shots I captured late one afternoon in Sedona, AZ.  After a (thankfully) short hike in the stifling heat, I found this view of the beautiful Cathedral Rock, and fired away.  Luckily there were some nice clouds that day!

I am hosting a series of webinars with Macphun, showing how I use Aurora HDR to process my images.  Click in for details and I hope to see you there!

Nightfall at Nyhavn, the historic waterfront entertainment district in Copenhagen - and my favorite place to photograph in a city that is full of great spots.

Recently, I made the switch from using Photomatix to create my HDR photos over to Aurora HDR Pro.  Today, I share my thoughts with you about why I made the switch and what I gained from it.  I think you will enjoy this.

A trio of stunning sunset shots from one of my favorite places in the world - the Oregon coast.  Have a look and enjoy!  

Exploring some side streets in Copenhagen, which is always a good time.  As the saying goes, not all who wander are lost.  Though I will admit, I get lost now and then.  ;-)

Today I announce a new series on my YouTube channel called "Making the photograph", wherein I walk through the edit process of a photo and share all my tips while I work.  It's fun!  This post is the text version of that first video - have a look and let me know if you have any questions!

Today I take you on a nighttime visit to The Sorbonne in Paris - a gorgeous area of town that is lively and very photogenic.  Come along!

Today I share a collection of photographs that I took in New Mexico.  I can't believe the light there - I always get such wonderful sunrises and sunsets.  Maybe it's due to some factor I am not aware of, but I don't care.  It helps me get better photos, so I love it!

Today on the blog I settle the age-old debate about where to get the best sunset view in Austin.  The discussion is over, people.  I have proven why in today's post.  ;-)

Just a quick post to announce my Macphun Resource Page here on the blog.  Have a look, you might learn something!  :-)

Today I share some images from London that I have converted to black and white.  I love big colors, but I have to admit that using Tonality from Macphun has caused me to seriously reconsider my "color only" history.  Take a look and let me know your thoughts!  I think you will enjoy this!

I caught a nice golden hour in Boston one evening, and walked away with some shots I am proud of!  I've also been experimenting with some black and white photo conversions, and talk a little about that today, too.  Enjoy!

There's a big, new deal happening on Aurora HDR Pro from Macphun.  It's my favorite photo editor - EVER - and you can save money plus get some great bonuses at the same time.  Take a look!

Sometimes you work your butt off to get to a sunset location at just the perfect moment - and other times, you just stroll out your door and it appears.  This is one of those times.  We just wandered out on the beach in Arch Cape, Oregon and this happened.  Don't you love that?

Today I am going to walk you through my step-by-step process for creating this dramatic, almost moody waterfall image.  I use Aurora HDR Pro as well as Snapheal - both from Macphun - and show you the exact methods I use to stack presets to achieve the finished product.  Dive in!

This is the best photography software/education/more bundle ever - and it's just $129!  This is the new Creative Kit XXL bundle from Macphun, and it's a monster.  Take a look at what you get and share with your friends!  It expires on May 31 so hurry!  :-)

This is Leadenhall Market, and it's totally amazing.  How's that for an intro?  It's an awesome spot in London, but it's not a "big tourist" spot.  Get off the beaten path a little and go see this.  You can thank me later!  (And it was used in the Harry Potter movies!)
