I've been shooting religiously with GoPro cameras since they came out way back in the day. Love those little monsters. At a minimum, I travel with three or more Hero3's for any shoot - I've just found they just come in super-duper handy for all sortsa great stuff. BUT.... taking into account mounts, memory cards, chargers, spare batteries and all miscellany associated with the GoPro and you've got yourself quite a load of...

Quick share here..... a short while back I took my very first trip to Belize for what turned into a really, really (2 reallys - or now that's three) high value, pain-free shoot. I've been so very lucky to have shot in some of the most spectacular places in the world -- and just added Belize to that list. We banged out a fun BTS vid to share some of the splendor, but...

Small cameras with big sensors are clearly an important part of the future. From the shockingly affordable cinema cameras from Blackmagic Designs to my beloved Olympus E-M5, it's clear to see that camera manufacturers are responding to a demand for compact camera systems. Sony is up there toward the front of the "big sensor/small camera" charge and seem to be pushing the technology forward, with last years Cybershot RX100, and now this years Cybershot RX1,...

With Adobe Photoshop looking ahead to its 25th anniversary, a handful of clever advertising pranks, and the recent exhibit at the National Gallery of Art on the history of photo manipulation [deets below], I thought we'd wax nostalgic for a hot minute on how far photography has come -- and hasn't come -- from those pre-school days of cutting, coloring and pasting. For those of us who love to wrench around in Photoshop on a...

In my last chasejarvisTECH piece you got a peek at the gear I packed away for the 19,000 foot climb up Kilimanjaro for the Summit on the Summit. There were more than a few comments on how much "stuff" went with me. It's all relative I suppose, but when you get down to it that was a fairly bare-bone operation for a job that still yielded high-end results. As you see in this...

Earlier in the week I shared my gear list for the hike up Kilimanjaro with Summit on the Summit. While on the mountain I snapped off a slew of panoramas and sent them to my buddy Mark, who does digital retouching with his company PARADOX VISUAL. I wanted him to build a BIIIIIG panorama that could be auctioned off for Summit on the Summit. And when I'm talking big, I'm talking 4 feet tall and...

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to be part of an expedition to bring greater awareness to the scarcity of fresh drinking water experienced by many countries around the world. Called Summit on the Summit, the expedition was a 60 mile hike up Kilimanjaro and included some artists, educators and guides who shared my interest in this awareness project, including Mark Foster, Justin Chatwin and Beau Garrett. I put together this...

Are you pursuing your personal passions to get the pictures you want, or are you letting...ahem..."too many obstacles" stop you? Here's a little inspiration. Using a weather balloon, a Gopro 2, a Multiplex Funjet and some other lo-fi equipment, David Windestål decided to get some first person footage of a trip to space. What he ends up with is an awesome video of the camera's trip into orbit, and a ton of inspiration for the...
