JULY 22, 2022 – My Yearly Creative Patterns
Photography has always been in my life but the role it has played in my creative life has changed over the years. At certain times when I was younger it was a major creative focus, then music took over, or filmmaking, or writing, or “insert other creative endeavors here”. About 10 years ago, when I…

Dehancer Film Emulation Review + 2 Free Presets (Plus 10% OFF Dehancer Discount Code: CBPHOTO22 )
Last week I uploaded a new YouTube video reviewing and showing the Dehancer plug-in. (I have discount code for Dehancer at the bottom of this blog) I get review offers from some small companies often but I don’t want to accept just any partnership. Any sponsorship or review I do has to make sense with…

July 21, 2022
I’ve had this blog for 4 years now. I’ve been really active with it sometimes and other times I go months without any new posts, like now. I always tell myself I should be more active but with Instagram moving away further and further away from the still image I’m even more motivated now to…

REUNITED WITH THE FUJIFILM X-T2
Well…I have 3 cameras again. I’m hopeless, seriously. I need help. G.A.S. is real and I have no cure, lol, but allow me to attempt to justify my purchase of the Fujifilm X-T2 to the gods of photography gear. First off, I’ve always wanted to own an X-T2 again since the day I let my…

“STREET SAGE” – FUJIFILM FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
As with many of my recipes, Street Sage is a result of experimenting. I wanted to see what would happen if you took the rich Velvia and reduced color, contrast and gave it a slight green tint. I like these experiments. I think you can get some interesting results depending on what you’re shooting with…

MY FUJIFILM X-H1 (Update: I’m Keeping It)
Last week I posted a video that was just a long rambling video of thoughts about my Fujifilm X-T4. This week I decided to make a similar video about my X-H1. Last month I had posted that I was thinking of selling my X-H1 and getting a different “second” Fujifilm camera. Last year I owned…

More Thoughts On My Fujifilm X-T4
I’m working on more well thought out video subjects but in the meantime I just felt like talking about my X-T4 a little bit. So that’s what my latest YouTube video is, a 20 plus minute rambling on the X-T4. It’s definitely not a review as there are a ton of things I didn’t talk…

6 PHOTOGRAPHY YOUTUBE CHANNELS YOU SHOULD WATCH
I’ve been wanting to make videos like this for a while but when you only have a few hundred followers it doesn’t make a ton of sense. Now I’m approaching 3000 YouTube subscribers and although that’s not a lot compared to some it’s enough to start promoting other channels. I’m starting with 6 channels that…

Shooting At ISO 12,800
If you haven’t checked out my YouTube channel I invite you to do so. This is my latest video where I talk about how I’ve learned to embrace the high ISO setting of my Fujifilm cameras. 5 years ago I would have never thought I’d shoot at ISO 12,800 so much. Now I love shooting…
Got any book recommendations?
