A few from Aarhus in Denmark
All with the Pen-F + either 17/1.8 or 45/1.8. A nice combo. The first managed a Flickr "Explore" even though it's not the best of the bunch IMHO. Go figure!

Eastern Oregon
For nearly 25 years, my family has bow-hunted in the Logan Valley area southeast of John Day, Oregon. This is a special place; native americans have hunted there for 12,000 years or so. I got a bear, which will provide enough meat to last me for a while. Here's some shots from the area, as well as a bunch from the return trip (I took the long way home to see some parts I'd never been to before).
Smoky sunset from our first night there:
I like the texture on this fawn:
Malhuer River:
Bluebird:
Logan Valley- I was blessed with some interesting skies on this trip:
Blackbirds:
Ranching is still an important activity in this area and I like to connect with the guy who's held the grazing allotment for my favorite hunting spot. This old chute has seen some dogies:
Abandoned homestead north of the town of Mt Vernon:
Fox, Oregon. Many of these small towns are slowly fading away:
Old fire truck in Fox:
I'm a geology nerd, so I was happy to stop in the town of Fossil to dig for 33 million yr old plants behind the high school. All it takes is a $5 donation to their school budget:
The Clarno Palisides of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. These formations are a volcanic lahar, and this particular chute actually becomes a waterfall in high rain events. This was about the most vertigo inducing shot ever as I was inches away from a holy shit dropoff:...8Sep 13, 2018 at 11:40 PM -
The Victorian Architecture of Oamaru
During our Christmas vacation to Lake Manapouri (main series here), we stopped overnight in the township of Oamaru, North Otago. It's now also known as the steampunk capital of New Zealand, thanks in part to its distinctive Victorian-style architecture.

Food Photography for Just Prepd
I have to say, I am surprised at just how many “niche” areas there are within a particular market. And I consider myself to be very lucky to work with a few companies that excel in niche areas.
Just Prepd is one such company. A family run business which has developed from two other very successful family run establishments. The company originated from constant requests for healthy meal options, which were generated through their bakeries. Their main target audience was originally the athletics and fitness industry, but they soon found a large amount of their business developed from clients that simply didn’t have the time to shop, prep, cook, weigh and clean up!
As their business expanded, so did their need for marketing material. The brief was very straight forward. As the meals are delivered either ready to eat, or to heat and eat, they were to be photographed on a slate, but up close. This was to concentrate the viewers attention on the food itself, rather than any “props”, such as plates etc.
For the accent light, I placed an Elinchrom ELB400 with action head, firing through an 18cm gridded reflector on the far side of the food. It was at a height of about five feet, and firing directly towards me at an output of 2.0 (Equivalent to 25Ws). I'd put it on a Heath Robinson type boom arm, which was basically an ultra cheap monopod attached to a lightstand via a simple clamp.
My keylight is another ELB400 immediate frame left, right alongside me. An action head was firing through an 80x80cm folding softbox, angled quite sharply down towards the food, The output was set to 1.5 (Equivalent to 18Ws)

For this overhead image, the lighting remained in the same positions, w ith the accent light now frame top. I angled it to shoot down at a closer angle, to ensure I had the specular highlights I was after. The keylight had to be raised a little more, to...5Jan 29, 2018 -
