Petroglyphs Stolen: An Ethical Lesson For Photographers (27 comments)
Courtney,

I think one vast difference between the ancient rock art and scrawling Joe and Mary 2006, or DH Harper 1886 is that these petroglyphs and paintings were often done as part of sacred ceremonies, and vision quests. They are the outward e [...]

Reader Question: One Lens for Landscape and Wildflowers on Hikes? (2 comments)
It adds up quickly! I carry a full-frame body, a number of batteries, a few filters, a remote release, and one to three lenses – usually a 17-40, 24-105, and 70-200. This gets me up to perhaps 12-15 pounds.

I could grump about the weight, but photo [...]

Dogwood Flowers, Merced River (2 comments)
Wayne, those in the Valley may be getting a bit worn by this weekend, but it is worth a try. If they are not still in good shape, you can find good ones along the higher roads leading toward the Valley – both routes that do NOT come in by way of Mari [...]

Sierra Club Photo Contest – Photographers Beware! (2 comments)
If being in the top 20 carries any reward for you, you can consider it. But do be very careful about releases that give away rights that are not appropriately related to the contest. For example, if they ask you for a license to use the photograph in [...]

Best time to visit Death Valley AND Yosemite? (2 comments)
Welcome to California!

I’m afraid that I’m not the ideal tour guide, as most often I camp or stay in inexpensive accommodations when I visit these places. You can contact the folks who run the hotel accommodations in the Valley to find out more abo [...]

Reader Questions (April 2013) (2 comments)
QT:

If what you are saying is that other, newer sensor designs continue to improve on dynamic range, I can’t argue with you there. As we all know, the Sony and Nikon cameras using newer Sony sensor technology seem to have expanded the dynamic range. [...]

Lens Protection: Ultraviolet (UV) Filter or Lens Cap and Hood? (53 comments)
Have always put filters on my lens once I bought them. Already experience an object hitting my lens. Good thing I have the filter to protect the lens since it left a mark on the filter. [...]

Sandstorm, Dunes (1 comments)
Not sure if its my chronological age, or years as a photographer, maybe just a ‘phase’ I’m I’m, but I find I’m very attracted to and lingering longer on more minimalist compositions…

This one really lent itself to a lovely cup of tea (and a moc [...]

Fiery Evening Sky, Tuolumne Meadows (5 comments)
Hi Gail:

Thanks for you interest in the photo! You may already be somewhat aware of the “rules” about such things, I’ll bet! (Not every painter even knows to ask.) The answer depends, to some extent, on what you plan to do with the painting. Could y [...]

Backcountry Road, Desert Mountains (2 comments)
Thanks, Chloe. This one sort of surprised me. When I made the photograph I did like it, but when I worked it a bit in post after returning home I began to like its subtlety a lot.

In Death Valley – and other places – there certainly are some colo [...]

My Backpacking Photography Equipment (48 comments)
Boy, that is a tough question. I’m afraid that I don’t have a good answer for you right off the bat. When I’m carrying a full backpack, I like to use a chest-harness mounted Lowepro bag that sits in front of me, but I don’t think would be ideal for y [...]

Fujifilm X-E1: From DSLR to Mirrorless (10 comments)
Thanks for dropping by the blog, Andy. I looked the Nikon and Sony (and Olympus and a few other) options as well. It is somewhat amazing how quickly we have moved from having almost no affordable, good quality options for such cameras to having such [...]

San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, Morning (2 comments)
Thanks, David. I think it turned out nicely and I like it… but I think that “not surprising” is a good description for it. This must be one of the most-frequently photographed objects in the Bay Area! :-)

Karl, that could happen. I also often look for interesting afternoon clouds above the Panamints (e.g. Telescope Peak) and that might also produce something interesting.
