Revamped my Off-Camera Flash feed. I'd say most of the photographers I'm following here on Bluesky came from this feed. Give it a pin if OCF & studio photography are your thing. It gets a bit of spam because "studio lighting" is a common AI prompt, but I clean it up as best I can.

Hate to admit it but my plan to start shooting again has been a dud. Day job had a demanding period along with 3 kids getting licenses all at once.. just haven't found the time & motivation 😖

If a show you're half a season behind on but like a lot gets cancelled, do you finish it? Looking at you, The Wheel of Time.

Sitting on the side of the road looking like a dork with my massive first-gen DJI Goggles.

Speeding up my Little Cottonwood Canyon video by 12x to impart the scale ⛰️

Mountain zen 🧘‍♂️ if continuous spring runoff cascades in 4K are your thing. Not too shabby for a 9-year-old drone.. upgrade would be nice (drooling on Air 3S) but hard to justify for my occasional hobby.

My favorite waterfalls & cascades in Little Cottonwood are mostly uncovered now, so I spent some quality time today flying them while they are still flowing strong. This video combines 4 flights and 1000s of vertical feet of climbing for over 7 minutes. Mountain zen. #littlecottonwoodcanyon #utah

This morning we handed one of our 16 year olds a set of keys and watched him drive himself and his brothers down the road towards school. What a crazy feeling 🥴

From 2017, the lovely Tanya with a comfy fall sweater theme. I was excited to use the sun as a direct backlight to make her vibrant hair shine.. what a result! This was taken wide-open f/1.4 with midday sun in-frame 😎

Pretty cool, finally a payoff for the domain I've never done anything with but held onto for the past 18 years for some reason 🤡

I renamed this feed to Off-Camera Flash, it just feels more appropriate to me. I've already found several great photographers through it.

Sharing my favorite-ever drone flight from 2022. 3 minutes of climbing (over 1,000') up the most amazing continuous cascade in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. Meticulously scouted & planned, flown with white knuckles. Very proud of the smooth motion throughout, few hiccups. #waterfall #drone

Getting started on Bluesky with old work, a favorite from 2017 with the lovely Cindy and a great sunset. It really shows the style I like: vivid colors, dramatic light, crisp separation, of course a great subject. #utahphotographer #portrait #portraitphotography

My new public social home, dumping Meta as much as I can. So.. hello 👋 Husband/dad & dev in UT USA, but my only interests in social media anymore are photography and sometimes my drone. It's been a long while, but I'm strongly inspired to start creating again this year. I need the outlet.
