Photo of the Day 4.8.2010

A couple weeks ago Ryan and I set out, to our favorite local shoe store, The Sole Source,  to get some good summer hiking shoes.
We are preparing for a long trip to Mexico, followed by a short visit in Denver, and another long trip later this summer to Montana, a really wanted to find something [...]

Photography: What We Use

Photography: What We Use

We are  frequently asked what photography equipment we use; so, I thought  I would make it easy and post about it.
I’m not going to waste you’re time listing every little piece of equipment we own but I will tell you what we mainly use.

We both use:
Canon 7D bodies
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Canon 100mm f/2.8 [...]

On December 11th, the photo of the day was one that Ryan took of me with my new Canon EF 70-200 Lens; this photograph is one that I took of Ryan that same day, at Silver Lake, using his new 70-200 lens.

Last night before the Christmas Parade downtown, we slipped in to Glen’s Fair Price to pick up my new 7D.
(It’s about time I get one, since Ryan claimed the other one we have!)
As soon as I got a battery in the camera, a young shopper saw our tripod set up in the floor at the [...]

Lowepro Camera Bags

Lowepro Camera Bags

When Ryan and I purchased our Canon Rebel XSi we bought a Lowepro Slingshot 300.

We chose this bag for multiple reason.
It could hold our camera, multiple extras lenses, and still had room for all of the other random stuff we may need to take along.
You can easily rotate the bag off of your [...]

Canon 7D

Canon 7D

We have had the opportunity to get our hands on the elusive Canon 7D!!
Our local Canon Store had one on back order for a customer and when it arrived the customer didn’t want it. What were they thinking??
We went to pick up within a couple hours of them calling and saying they had one unclaimed. [...]

The best tripod ever!

The best tripod ever!

When I gave Ryan his birthday gift, his first Macro lens, he played with it for a little while, quickly realizing that in order to take great macro shots we were going to need a more flexible tripod.
So, the next day he went to our local camera shop to check out tripods, with a [...]

Ryan's Birthday

Ryan’s Birthday

Saturday, August 29th, 2009 was Ryan’s 29th Birthday.
Happy belated Birthday Baby!
I didn’t even have to think about what to get him, I knew exactly what he wanted; which is awesome, because he is usually very difficult to buy gifts for.
It was a little expensive, but I knew he wouldn’t complain.
I got him a Macro [...]

Our New Toy

We have wanted a Digital SLR for a long time, and finally decided to go ahead and get one before our trip to Las Vegas, for the AWFS fair.
Our choice was the EOS Rebel XSi by Canon.

We LOVE it!!
