I just used the neutral polarizer for mobile phones. It is absolutely fantastic. The effect is subtle when used to darken skies, and this is very good. Some polarizers leave weird halos. However, the real magic can be experienced when photographing water. When I was up in the hills of India (Bhimtal), I used this to shoot the mountain stream, and the effect was dramatic. Colours are reproduced perfectly. The filter does not modify the natural colours of nature. The …
What is Infrared Photography â in a nutshell
View PostChasing Ansel
View PostI have been buying and
I have been buying and using Singh-Ray filters for decades. Many years ago while on a photo trip in Yellowstone N.P., I had a Singh-Ray emergency. I needed to replace a graduated ND filter which I had damaged while shooting the Grand Prismatic Hot Springs. I called Singh- Ray on a Sunday from a coin pay phone near the Old Faithful Lodge where I was staying. Surprisingly, Bob Singh answered the phone himself. I explained my dilemma and he shipped …

Colorado Fall Color Road Trip
Fall is one of my favorite times in Colorado. The temperature cools down, fresh snow coats the mountain peaks, and yellow stands of aspens line the mountain valleys. Right now, I am in the middle of a fall roadtrip photographing some of my favorite locations in Colorado. Fall color is spectacular this year. Not only are the aspens vibrant, but the scrub oak is flaming red and orange. Whenever I head into the field, I always bring my Singh-Ray filters …
Water in Motion
I have chosen to âdocumentâ the Florida landscape in black and white infrared photography since 2008. Now, 11 years into this project, I have completed 75 images that I believe capture the spirit and beauty of my adopted home state. I have always been a fan of Black and White photography, my first SLR images were captured on plus-x film forty years ago. The contrast of light to dark, focused and unfocused and the textural contrasts dictate how the viewer …
Taking the Tetons From âcoolâ to âWow!â
This past June I was asked to assist in teaching a photography workshop to 5 combat-wounded veterans, most of whom had no previous experience with a digital SLR camera. This workshop was part of a series of programs for combat-wounded veterans run by Honoring Our Veterans (https://www.honorvets.org/), based out of Jackson, WY. The goal of HOV is to improve the quality of life for combat-wounded veterans by offering them activities that strengthen their physical, cognitive, emotional and social functioning. âIt …

The Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands, an exotic collection of mostly volcanic islands that seem to be stopped in time. They are a destination on most if not all photographersâ bucket lists, they were on mine. So, after shifting into a new phase of my career after spending almost 25 years at Sports Illustrated, when I was presented with the opportunity to travel to the Galapagos to help scout and develop a future photo expedition for Guy Harvey Outpost, I jumped at the chance. Since my …
