The 8mm f/1.8 fisheye lens is on loan to me from Olympus, and after using it just a bit, I’m pretty close to buying a copy for myself. That should give you an idea of what I think of it.

The NEOWISE comet was discovered by a space telescope built at Utah State University, where I now work. I think that is so cool. When Comet Hale-Bopp passed by in 1997, I was just getting started in my high school
I love nighttime photography. There is such a sense of magic in capturing a scene despite the lack of visible light. In this walkthrough, I will show you how I created this photo with a long exposure and flash. It’s
I do long exposure photography almost exclusively, so I look for specific qualities in tripods. If I photograph a series of photos for stacking for Milky Way photos or two-hour long star trails, I really need a tripod to do
There are places that can be too difficult to stay with a camera and shoot, there are events that are too dangerous to be around when they occur, and there are animals that are too shy of humans to ever get near to photograph. This is when photographers turn to using Photo or Camera Traps, a way to capture these types of images or video from a distance by remote control. Â
In part 1 of this series, I covered the fundamentals of creating a simple remote camera trap. Now that you have that skill in your proverbial photography toolbox, let’s talk about more advanced setups and how to use the Platypod to support multi-light nighttime photo traps and remote video capture.
