How does the iPhone 6 Stack up: 8 iPhone Comparison

Posted on September 23, 2014

In the past seven years, each new advancement in iPhone camera technology has made dramatic improvements to image quality. The iPhone 6 is no different. Besides being faster to shoot and easier to focus, the images taken with the iPhone 6 camera show greater detail and are significantly better in low-light. In this follow-up post to my iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 comparisons, I present an 8 iPhone comparison from all iPhone versions taken with Camera+ including, the original iPhone,…

Lake Minnewanka Stars

Posted on January 25, 2014

I saw stars! I was in the Canadian Rockies this past week and I completely fell in love with the landscapes around Banff and Lake Louise. I ran myself ragged photographing from sunrise to sunset and sometime after to capture the stars. I was fortunate to have some of the best weather they have seen in months. This was my very last shot just hours before my flight from Calgary. I couldn’t help grabbing a few last star shots above…

Mystic Beach Cave & SALT Magazine

Posted on January 8, 2014

A view of yesterday’s shoot at Mystic Beach on the Juan de Fuca Trail, Vancouver Island from inside an epic cave. It was an incredible location for landscape and star photography. I grabbed this really cool shot inside the cave as the sun was setting. I rarely use my 15mm fisheye lens because most of the time, it’s, well, too fishy , but for things like this, it’s the coolest lens in my bag! Here is my spot inside the…

Festive Ornaments

Posted on December 21, 2013

Canon 5DMK3+100mm f/2.8L, 1/6 at f/3.2, ISO 200. (Shallow depth of field makes more bokeh) It’s decorating time! I think I spend more time photographing my ornaments than actually decorating! Canon 5DMK3+100mm f/2.8L, 3.2s at f/14, ISO 200. (The back ornaments stand out more at f/14) Little tip: To get really sharp images of your decorations in low light, you need to use a tripod. I have tried and failed so many times without one. I also piled up a string of…

Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii

Posted on December 21, 2013

Canon 5DMK3+16-35mm, 30seconds at f/5.0, ISO 200. Kīlauea Volcano bubbles and smokes into the night sky. This was actually a challenging photo to take. It was pitch black and I ended up hiking into the bush to get some trees as foreground elements. Without them the photo was dull and lifeless. I’m glad I packed my headlamp!!…

Vancouver Island Winter Sunset

Posted on November 20, 2013

Canon 5DMK3+16-35mm, 1/2s at f/22, ISO 100. The water is so calm in this secluded bay in Deep Cove North Saanich that it mirrors the sky quite beautifully. I also realized that I need a pair of waterproof boots because I keep setting up shots IN water. Wet feet on a cold night in Canada is no fun! :-/…
