I have long admired Paul Bannick’s photographs of Arctic Snowy Owls and, living in the Pacific Northwest, it never occurred to me that I would ever get the chance to shoot them myself without heading north. But the opportunity came my way when I discovered that the owls were making one of their “irregular” winter [...]
Finished. Fini. Finito. Terminado. In any language it’s stated, this is the final week of Summer Intensive 2012 and first of the three sessions comprising our Career Training program. Always a bittersweet time, the last week is definitely anything but a “cruise week” for the folks as they, again, are put through their paces. Early [...]
It’s been almost two years since I last wrote about shooting bugs in the act of procreation, and you know what? They’re STILL doing it! Right out in the open in public parks and backyards. This time around, though, I have more macro experience behind me and I’m better equipped to shoot them when I [...]
This week in Summer Intensive was all about the students rapidly learning advanced concepts in photography and digital technology. Over the previous weekend, the students were able to check out specific Canon cameras and lenses from our extensive “library” of gear. Canon is a tremendous Educational Partner of ours, and their support adds enhanced value [...]
And the journey continues. This week in Summer Intensive is a particularly fun one for the students.

Also, they learned about enhancement of their [...]

Career Training 2009 Graduate Steve Russell is back at it. If you immediately associate Steve’s name with his fabulous macro images of spiders, bees and dragonflies, it is for good reason. Steve has been a contributor to this blog for quite a while now, and we’re lucky to have him! Today’s post by Steve is [...]
Canon will be introducing new products at the Camera and Imaging Photo Show (CP+ 2011) beginning Wednesday, February 9th in Pacifico Yokohama, Japan. The Rebel family of cameras has two new additions, the new EOS Rebel T3i and EOS Rebel T3 Digital SLR Cameras. These versions of this camera model have many new enhancements to the HD [...]
I have gone on many backpacking trips in the past few years. One thing that I always have to consider when I’m preparing is, what camera equipment should I take along? The following information doesn’t apply only to backpacking; it also really applies to any instance when you’re doing some sort of outside adventure and [...]
Spiders. Few things are more unnerving. When I was six years old I freaked out and crashed my bike when one crawled onto my wrist. I’ve had a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with them ever since. And, as accustomed to them as I’ve become since shooting them up-close (as in photography, not guns), I still [...]
