This is my favorite pano, a rectilinear panorama requiring 34 images stitched in 2 rows of 17 each. I took it with a Nikon D200 and waited 6 months from the first idea of this shot for the Colony to fix its neon.

There's a half-size download and a full-resolution version, which would easily print to 7 feet or more.

The aforementioned downloads are at the top of my home page: https://ccmedia.eklaysea.com/

Here’s my lens wish list, some are on there for fun and some I actually want.

What camera gear would you recommend for a beginner?

Before you worry too much about getting the best gear, make sure you learn how to use it first. You could go out and buy the fanciest camera and lenses and still not take good photos because you don’t know how to use your camera or how to “see”. There’s also a saying, “you marry your lenses and date your bodies”. Invest in good lenses, preferably full frame compatible ones in case you ever decide to upgrade to full frame, and get a cheaper body to start. With that out of the way…

If you’re just starting out, I’d recommend getting a refurbished or used camera from the D7100+ line. They’ve come down in price as of late and are pretty solid cameras. Just make sure to check the shutter count.

I’d skip anything from the D3000 & D5000 lines. They’re not bad cameras but they do not have built in autofocus meaning they rely on the lens itself having autofocus. This isn’t horrible but it does limit what lenses you can use (and some of the lenses that won’t autofocus with those cameras are good AND cheap) and that can be confusing for a beginner.

As for a lens, a 50mm f/1.8, or 35mm f/1.8 is a great lens. Both lenses are inexpensive, have good quality glass, and can used for nearly everything. The 18-55mm lens that comes with cameras isn’t bad either. 

I don’t shoot Canon/Sony/whatever else so I can’t give any advice there sorry!

How did you learn to take photos?

LOTS of practice, I first picked up a camera back in 2013. In high school and college I took photography classes but ultimately I didn’t really learn much from them, they started at too basic of a level.

I did learn a lot about photography from taking art classes however. They taught me framing, how to use shadows/light, and movement in a photo (where does your eye travel when you view an image/art piece). My mom is also a professional photojournalist so I picked up some knowledge from her and my grandfather who’s also a published photographer.

How can I take better photos?

Again, lots of practice. Learn what every setting and button on your camera does, try different shooting modes, take the same photo at several different apertures and shutter speeds to see what changes. You can learn a lot from reading articles too but the best way to learn, imo, is by doing. Don’t worry about getting the best gear and the best camera, learn how to take photos first.

Study other photographers photos, and even paintings, and see what you like. Pay attention to directional lines and where your eye travels. Learn how to use Photoshop/Lightroom (just pirate it). Take photos in different weather, lighting, and times of day. 

What programs do you use to edit? What presets/filters do you use?

I use Lightroom and Photoshop Classic along with custom presets that I’ve made for different situations (fog, snow, etc) to process most of my images and then I make minor tweaks. A lot of my presets started as VSCO presets and then I kept the things I liked and changed the things I didn’t.

What is your job?

I’m a real estate photographer specializing in short term rentals. I love it.

Are you related to Eddie Vedder?

Yep, we’re very distantly related. Something like 7th cousins twice removed but I’ve never met him.

Can you add a photo to your print shop?

Sure! Just tell me the name of the photo (or link it if possible, I reuse a lot of names) you want added and I’ll get it up there.

May I use one of your photos?

I’m 100% ok with people using my photos as a reference for drawing/painting, I’d even love to see the result. For anything else, just shoot me an ask beforehand and I’ll let you know. Please do not repost my photos on Tumblr or elsewhere without my permission.

I was lucky enough to be near enough to take a road trip with some friends to view the solar eclipse in the path of totality!

Here are some shots I got on my DLSR:

Wrote about how the process went below the cut, if you’re curious:

Camera setup

Camera info: I used some second-hand old DSLR camera to get this shot. If you want to take a photo, try to find a camera with a electronic viewfinder/live view— I used a Nikon D200 which has an optical viewfinder that you cannot look through during the partial eclipse unless you want to laser concentrate the sun into your eyes. So, I had to keep trial-and-erroring photos then looking at the LCD screen’s playback to line up the shot during the partial eclipse. I accidentally broke part of my tripod 30 minutes into partial, so big shoutout to my friends for team effort helping me deal with that.

For protection: obviously, eclipse glasses for viewing the event. (Look away every so often for your own safety— it is the sun, after all). For the camera I used a solar filter Mylar sheet that I cut into a circle, glued to some cardboard I fitted into an octagon and slipped over my camera lens. That’s why everything except the sun is pitch black! I gave the camera a break from the sun by covering the lens up every few minutes, just in case. I use a special lens that I couldn’t fit a solar filter over, even if I spent $60+ on one. DIY for the win.

The lens: A 150-600mm lens. As I mentioned, my tripod had a little incident so I couldn’t stabilize it enough to use past 500mm without some serious motion blur, but around 150mm and 350mm the photos looked good enough for me. At this point I ripped off the tape on my optical viewfinder and the protective lens and took photos as normal. I kinda just set a fixed aperture with f-stop at 16 and ran with it. I think I also turned the ISO up. You’ll forgive me for not documenting the whole process of the sun and the entirety of totality— some things you just want to see with your own two eyes.

I am not a professional photographer, solar or otherwise, so don’t take what I say for what you should do, but everything seems to work, so if you are looking to photograph a solar eclipse, these are a few things to start with! Though, don’t break your tripod and make sure you can easily find the sun with an electronic viewfinder. Then you can just press your remote-shutter button and stare at the sun at the same time.
