Sunset Photography
"Ah, Krakatoa, now those were sunsets! If only we had color film back then!" -Quote from the old, old, old photographer. With Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano filling the skies of Northern Europe and Britan with ash from multiple eruptions, photographers in the areas where the ash is drifting may be in for some great sunsets for quite some time.

Arches National Park Night Photography
Arches are cool. Millions of years of wind erosion, soft rock, and what seems like a good bit of luck combine to create these famous geological landmarks that are literally one of a kind. Some of the most famous sandstone arches in the world are contained within Arches National Park, and I recently got the chance to travel out west to explore that area with two of my good friends, Mike and David (see this post for background). For a post about Arches NP, I thought I’d change it up with a step-by-step look at how some of the night photos (or wide-field astrophotography) happened. At times this post will devolve into photo-nerd-speak, so if your eyes glaze over when that happens, try less reading and more looking at pictures

How I Light Paint Epic Milky Way Photos with the A7r
If you’ve ever tried light painting in your astrophotography, you’ve probably discovered how ugly and unnatural artificial light can often look. One of the questions I get asked most often is how I manage to get such clean and atmospheric light painting in Milky Way images. Aside from using an awesome camera (in my case the Sony A7R), there is a certain method that I use to capture every part of my composition in a way that gives me maximum image quality and lots of control over light. One Exposure vs. Multiple Exposures If I want the absolute maximum image quality in my Milky Way light painting images, I’ll need to shoot multiple exposures each with different light painting techniques and then combine those in Photoshop.

Sunset Photography: Tips to Get Amazing Sunset Photos - PhotoJeepers
Sharing is caring! Photos taken at sunset capture the soft, diffused light that happens as the sun sets. The Golden Hour light, approximately 30-60 minutes before sunset, is a warm golden glow that produces long, soft shadows. After the sun disappears behind the horizon, the Golden Hour transforms into the Blue Hour. The characteristics of the Blue Hour are a much darker sky and soft blue hues.
Where Children Sleep
James Mollison traveled around the globe and took some incredibly eye-opening photos of children's bedrooms. He then compiled them into a book, titled Where Children Sleep.
