My son and I have had the privilege of photographing several National Parks. Our photographs were possible because others were willing to share their knowledge with us through books, magazines, and podcasts. It is now time for us to return the favor. We hope the information we provide about our equipment and techniques will help improve your photographic skills. If this is your first visit, please start reading from the bottom of the page. Happy shooting!

Panosaurus what?

One of the cool things about celebrating a birthday is getting to buy another piece of camera gear. This year I purchased a Panosaurus Rex. What is that you might ask. Well, it is a device designed to create a 360 degree panoramic image. I know panoramas can be created without one but what makes this unit unique is that it rotates around the nodal point of the lens. The individual photos are captured in the portrait mode at every 20 degrees for a total of 18 images. This allows adequate overlap and improves the chances of getting a perfectly stitched panoramic. The unit is well designed and simple to setup. Check out the website below for more information.
