Photo – Jeff is in his element! I think I’ll stick to photography!
We are busy working on our photos from our recent trip to Cabo. We went mainly to celebrate our 25th anniversary, but bringing home photos to add to our stock files, was also on the agenda. We will be uploading Cabo San Lucas photos to our galleries in a few days. Here is a partial list of subjects we will have available for licensing and print orders.
- Adventure -Â riding quadrunners on the beach, horseback riding on the beach, sunset dinner cruiseÂ
- Town shots – tourists, restaurants, transportation, native plants
- Beach scenes – local vendors, people enjoying the beach, wildlife
- Hotels and marinas
- Scenics – “El Arco” at Lands End
Some of these images will also be available as “digital art” photos. Check back in a few days!
Photo #1 - Tundra with kayaks, Alpine County, CA. This photo was shot at 1/15 sec as the Tundra was moving.
“Have you become obsessed with one aspect of photography?” That was a question asked recently on one of the photo forums I contribute to. That got me thinking. Lately, it seems I have a “love affair” with zooming.
Zooming is similar to panning, but instead of following the subject with your camera as it moves across your field of view, you zoom the lens in or out during your exposure. This creates a streaking effect around the edges of your photograph, while keeping the center of your photograph fairly sharp.
Photo #2 - Bougainvilleas, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California. This photo was shot at 1/5 sec. I also fired my flash.
Tips for creating great zooms
- You can use either a stationary or a moving subject.
- You need to use a slow shutter speed (1/15 sec or slower works best). You will need to use a low ISO, unless you are working under really low light. Try adding either a polarizer or a neutral density filter to let less light in when not working under low light, which will let you use a slower shutter speed.
- This is a great technique to use when there is not adequate light to capture a standard image.
- A flash can also be used while zooming.
- Keep your camera as still as possible. A tripod is recommended, althought I rarely use one for this.
- Experiment with different shutter speeds and lenses for different effects.
- During your zoom, try to zoom in or out as smoothly as possible for the best results.
Feel free to add your zooming tips. You do not need to register or login to comment on this blog.
Happy zooming!

Digital art photo of T-shirts, made from an original photographÂ
While Jeff & I were gobbling down our first authenic Mexican Tacos during our recent trip to Cabo, we couldn’t help but notice the variety of t-shirts available. We didn’t really have time to read them all, so I decided to take a photo of this display instead and read them later.Â

Photo – Cabo San Lucas, Baja, California
Ola! We have just returned from an awesome trip to Cabo San Lucas in beautiful Baja, California. In just 1 week, we managed to squeeze in just about everything we set out to do and a few things we didn’t have on the agenda.
In the coming weeks, we will be featuring some of the photographs we captured during our visit to Cabo. We will also publish an article about our trip which will include tips for traveling in Baja.
The photo above is an artistic rendition created from an original photograph taken during our trip. It will be one of many photos available for purchase as high-resolution, rights-managed downloads or as fine art prints in our new digital art gallery coming soon.
Please check back often to see what’s new.
