The Valley of Fire

The Valley of Fire

A couple weeks ago, I went to visit my best friend Sidnee down in Las Vegas. She had a great idea to go check out The Valley of Fire, just about an hour north of the city. We had a pretty packed day so we didn’t end up staying very long, but it was long enough to get some fantastic photos. The colors and textures were so awesome that I ended up experimenting with some alternate post processing styles for […]

Formula DRIFT Seattle 2015

Formula DRIFT weekend at Evergreen Speedway is one of my favorite weekends of the year.

We spent a couple hours taking some photos on the busiest gravel road in Seattle city limits with his friend Zach […]

Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been the greatest lately, so my original plans to go as soon as they hit full bloom fell through. A week later, I finally made it out to UW at sunrise, but the cherry blossoms were already starting to fade away. Nevertheless, I was still able to get some great […]

Nikon D810 Review

Four years ago, I made the switch to full frame, upgrading from my trusty Nikon D300 to the Nikon D700. By the time I made the switch, the D700 was already available for  2 1/2 years, so its reputation and capabilities were already well-established. Full frame was like night and day after coming from a cropped sensor camera, and while some things definitely took some getting used to, it wasn’t long before the D700 became my rock solid companion for […]
