BiographyA while ago I gave myself the goal of visiting all of the national parks in the NPS system- a goal I share with my wife (which makes things much easier!). It was on our first big parks trip that I found that photography was to become more than a casual hobby for me.
Now we're nearing the halfway mark on our list and I'm excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.
3 things you should have in your photographer's bag:
- Lens cleaning equipment
- Tripod (or GorillaPod)
- Extra memory cards
Top 3 parks everyone should visit:
- Yosemite
- Glacier
- Bryce
Top 3 parks I've visited but didn't even know existed before starting my parks quest:
- Conyonlands
- Cuyahoga
- Congaree

- 3/19/2009 3:07 pm - Panoramic Photography, Or "How Do I Get All of the Teton Range in the Picture?" : I agree - treehugger that is a cool movie. I love QTVRs. Not to date myself, but I remember stitching these things by hand. Lots of math involved to make QTVRs in the old days. I had actually not realized that Canon's PhotoStitch could make QTVRs until I played with ...
