For todays article I want to try something a little different and talk about the way photographers should try and price their images. I am by no means an expert, but I have seen countless students pass through the doors of RMSP, so I do know how a lot of photographers have chosen to price [...]
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!
For those of you who don’t know, a couple of weeks ago RMSP had an open house. We invited the general public into our facilities, gave them a look around and invited them to experience our educational style for a few hours. I gave a lecture on how to choose image editing software. Everyone in [...]
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 [...]
It’s time for the second installment on shooting star trails. In Part II I explain how to take the group of images you captured in your camera (from Part I) and put them together into one complete image. Before we start, I would like to point out that while this is the way I like [...]

Through the years, my cameras, lenses, and tripod legs have been sold, traded and swapped for new or different [...]
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 [...]
Welcome to Part II of my two-part post on tilt-shift lenses. Part I addressed the tilt function of these unique tools. This week, I will be talking about the other control that is available – the shift. To put it VERY simply, shifting the lens (either up, down, left or right) gives the photographer the [...]
