As many of our Career Training graduates can attest, if there is one thing that RMSP Founder and Owner Neil Chaput de Saintonge loves to do, it’s talk about photo equipment. He has been helping rookies and pros alike for well over 20 years with their equipment questions. So today’s post should come as no [...]
If you’re find yourself among the 99% of people who haven’t finished (or…um…even started) their holiday shopping, we can proudly say you are in good company! But are we panicking? Are we freaking out? Not even close! As we say out here in the west…this aint my first rodeo! As experienced last-minute shoppers, we know [...]
As we mentioned in our post on Monday, this entire week Paper Airplanes is dedicated to Ansel Adams. Not only did our very own Neil Chaput de Saintonge study with Ansel back in the day, but RMSP is now a proud (ahem, a VERY proud) sponsor of a show at the Missoula Art Museum titled “Ansel [...]
Damselflies and Dragonflies are some of the most curious, colorful, and strangest looking creatures I’ve run across in my quest for macro subjects, and also some of the most challenging and rewarding to shoot. I stumbled upon a popular roost for Damselflies in the park earlier this summer and shot them for at least [...]

Last week the Lytro Camera was announced. This camera introduces a revolutionary sensor technology that gives photographers the ability capture the “light field” in a scene and focus after the fact. This, of course, is in the place of the current sensor technology which only allows you to capture the scene based on the focus [...]
Forest Chaput de Saintonge does his latest bag reviews in a video. Forest walks through all the features, pros, and cons of Kata’s new photography backpack, the Pro-Light Bug-203 PL. Its a great way to see how he uses the bag and the features first hand. Enjoy!
Because we are currently living in an age in which our photographs are simply stored as code that our cameras and computers can read, we need to ensure that we don’t loose our artwork due to a hardware failure or accident. I tell people (not to scare you) that EVERY computer hard drive WILL fail [...]
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 [...]
You all know that I like gear; I got this addiction from my dad. I change my photography gear all the time, constantly trying to get the new sharpest lens, or more megapixels in my camera. Through the years, my cameras, lenses, and tripod legs have been sold, traded and swapped for new or different [...]
