_How many seconds of time-lapse video can be produced in two hours? _How do you set up your camera for time lapse? _What kind of gear do you need? _What kind of results can you get with a $200 camera vs a $5,000 camera? I sat at the top of Signal Hill in Capetown, South Africa a few weeks ago to shoot some timelapse for a video project I'm working on. In the process, I... read more ›

In a jet-lagged haze working abroad last week one of those reminder alarms hit my computer desktop while I was buried in some email that said, "Twit Photo 1pm". After a moment of confusion, I realized it was a leftover reminder from a year ago when I was interviewed by Leo Laporte and Catherine Hall as a part of their popular web photography show, Twit Photo. I meant to share it way back... read more ›

Jerard here from Chase's crew. One of the things I've noticed working on the CJ Team over the years is the serious lengths Chase will go to for a specific perspective. Almost nothing is off-limits if it enables him to be in position to get the shot. You've heard it before, "get on the ground," or "get above the crowd." Essentially, look for the angle that others don't. But sometimes it might take more than... read more ›

Sometimes shooting from the air is essential. While there are increasingly more options besides a helicopter (we've shot more with R/C helis in recent years - click here and click here to see some of the highlights of these fun toys) sometimes there is simply no substitute for a good old-fashioned chopper. For example, the shoot we're currently working here in Cape Town with Mike Horn and crew demanded that we take to the air... read more ›

We're down in Cape Town, South Africa on a photo shoot with my great friend, world renowned explorer Mike Horn on the second installment of our four-part global expedition in collaboration with Polyform. You might recall we were down in Brazil with Mike not too long ago. It took our crew almost two full days to fly from Seattle to Cape Town, South Africa. This is my first trip to Cape Town and let me... read more ›

The iPhone application Foap says $10. Actually...$5 after they take their cut. Here's the rundown... Foap is a micro stock photography app made exclusively for iPhone photography. You upload your photos for review using their app, and then when/if they're approved they become available for purchase in their market for editorial or commercial use by third party companies.

Inspiration is everywhere. Sometimes you just have to look in unexpected places. Like the past. Whidbey Island, WA photographer Jim Adams has done something you don't see every day: time travel photography. He finds a location that presents a compelling image, does a ton of research to find historical images, and then carefully overlays old with new to blend decades - even centuries - into a single image.... read more ›
