Photography – All About Memories

Jul 26, 2023 | Random Thoughts

G-44 Wigeon on Frazer Lake, Kodiak captured by D2x / 17-35f2.8AFS

The year was 2005 and the four of us, Sharon, Brent, Jake & I had just been dropped off by Steve to spend the day by ourselves at Frazer Lake, home of Kodiak Brown Bears. We walked from the lake over the hillside down to the fish ladder to wait and watch. It was our first time to Kodiak. We had rented a RV, took the ferry to Kodiak and had spent the week literally at the end of the road flyfishing. We had driven back into town to hitch a flight with Steve to see these giants firsthand. We had nearly a decade with coastal grizzly under our belts and we wanted to see the big guys. It was an absolutely brilliant day! We would get back home in a couple of weeks, pack Brent up and move him to his dorm to start his first quarter at Reno from where he would graduate. While we knew we had plenty of adventures together as a family to come, this was our last “family” vacation while the boys still lived at home.

The memories came flooding back to me while I was filing photographs from this past weekend’s splashin. In 2005 we flew into Frazer Lake in a G-44 Wigeon. Brent remembers the Browns from that adventure all to well but not a thing about the flight in the Wigeon. I was thinking about that fact as I filed photos of him from this past weekend flying right seat landing the G-21 Goose at Polson Seaplane Base. Shot lots of photos this past weekend of him and the fun and after seeing the Wigeon photo, I’m so glad I did. It’s the #1 reason I’m a photographer. Photography, all about memories!

Sensor Dust … Not so Fast!

G-21 Goose captured by Z 8 / Z400f4.5 w/Z1.4x

More then any other time, when I’m heading out to shoot aviation I make sure my camera sensor is spotless! That’s because when I want to capture prop blur I need to close down the aperture and that makes every dust spot come alive in the photograph. So it was this morning, the Z 8 sensor was spotless yet when I put the camera up and made the first clicks I could see two nasty spots at the top of the frame. Spots can be spotted in the viewfinder shooting mirrorless where they weren’t able to be seen with a DSLR. Well I hit the sensor clean, no help. I removed the lens and blew the sensor off, no help. Then I remembered what had happened in the past. I took off the teleconverter and sure enough, there were the two spots. The element that inserts into the body, it had the two spots. This had happened once before and now the second time, it will be ingrained in my memory. Sensor spots, look first on the teleconverter!

Photographin Hummingbird 2023 – Part 1

Jul 21, 2023 | Random Thoughts

A lot has evolved in my hummingbird photography since I posted my last video in 2021! Way too much for a simple blog post so I shot on the run a two part video on the updates. Part One covers the gear, settings and basic camera set up including setting for the Nikon Z 9 / Z400f4.5 & Profoto A10. Enjoy
