Michael won the i create photographs tshirt with his comment 'A video on high speed sync for flash would be awesome'.  I promise this was completely random choice, I closed my eyes and scrollled up and down to pick.  His comment was under my pointer.  Congrats Michael!

3 Legged Thing Jack Tripod Review

Written by Gregory Cazillo Wednesday, February 01, 2012 10:01

This is my favorite tripod! As I get older I definitely want things to weigh less and this new 3 Legged Thing tripod fits that bill perfectly. Its plenty tall, plenty short, plenty light & plenty sturdy. You can pick one up from the 3 Legged Thing website. Check out the video!

Update: Jack tripod holds 17 pounds...plenty for a pro body & 300 2.8.

RIT Training

Written by Gregory Cazillo Tuesday, March 13, 2012 07:55

This past weekend I took a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) training class.  One of the tasks is to climb in a window wearing full PPE (personal protective equipment) and rescue a downed firefighter through that same window.  This is called the Denver Drill, it comes from a firefighter that lost his life because others could not get Firefighter Mark Langvardt out of a window that was right next to him.

Getting myself through that very small window was quite a chore. Somehow I made in, and out. I thought you would enjoy these photos of me climbing in the window. Big Thanks to Traditions Training and their team who taught our RIT Class.

Creating Photographs: Landscapes

I created this photograph in Red Rock Canyon just outside of Las Vegas Nevada. It was later in the morning and the clouds had started to come over. The exposure was f/11 1/125/sec at ISO 200. You can purchase a copy of this photo and also see how I edited it in this Lightroom Video.
