Little Planet Panorama – using Polar Coordinates
The effect that creates the little planet like images is technically referred to as a Stereographic Projection! It’s fun math to think about, and the visual product is intriguing to look at. What happens is a normal image with normal coordinates (x,y) is distorted on to a polar coordinates system to create the little planet effect. I […]
Capturing Lightning
A quick how-to on capturing lightning photos… STEP 1: know that the elements won’t wait… A good philosophy for photography in general is to always ask “if not now, then when?” High vantage points are always good for capturing lighting, but be safe. MOST IMPORTANTLY, always be isolated from direct paths to ground. It’s nice […]
Blood Moon

Perhaps my D800’s 36 megapixel FX sensor and high ISO abilities will allow for a little extra detail this time around….clear skies pending.. Okay, I’m back inside… got a […]
Pretty Lights – Alaska 2014
The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, captured during some of the last peaking activity of 2014. This video is comprised of still images from my D800 and a GoPro, taken March 13th-22nd. It’ll be another 11 years until the Aurora’s intensity and predictability will align again as to warrant another adventure to witness such […]
Aurora Borealis time lapse – from March 2013
This photo compilation is a highlight of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I captured these images between March 10th-16th, 2013 north of Fairbanks, Alaska. I planned my Alaska adventure during the highest probability of solar storms…and to my extreme delight an Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection (solar storm) occurred Friday, March 15th, at 2:54 a.m. EDT…which made Aurora […]
