Some people are surprised to find that we have a smaller “point and shoot” type camera in addition to our 5D Mark II. We have this camera for multiple reasons, the first one being that it is hardly a typical “point & shoot”. The Samsung NX300 is a 20.3 MP camera with smart features, interchangeable…
Beautiful Nightscapes usually have some foreground elements. This can often be a silhouette, but being able to see elements in the foreground can be very helpful as well. One of our favorite images capture in Bryce National Park was enhanced with some light painting. Consider both images, and see which you like more. Foreground Subject…
We’ve gone over basic gear and camera settings, and now its time to start talking about what you are shooting. Composure in night photography is made more difficult by the darkness of it all. Your foreground is made up mostly of silhouettes (unless you are light painting, more on that in a future post), which…
Last post, we talked about basic gear. This post, we’ll talk about camera settings. But first, lets talk about star movement. Star Movement Stars move across the sky. This isn’t actually true, as this movement is caused by the earth’s rotation, but we’ll ignore that for now. For our purposes, the stars move, and we…
The Night Sky can be a beautiful thing, and long exposure nighttime photography can expose that beauty to anyone with the right (affordable) equipment. As complete beginners in this area, we thought we could share what we have learned as we enjoyed a week in Bryce Canyon recently and spent a few of our nights there…
I just bought a ‘point and shoot’ camera this week as well. I found myself taking fewer and fewer photos with my Nikon dSLR and most with my iPhone which I wasn’t happy enough for blog photos (when I get around to posting!) We went with the Sony RX100M3 and love it so far!
yah! It’s definitely nice to still have the big dSLR, but “light” can be so liberating!
I was happy to see this review! I got the NX3000 for Christmas with a 16-50mm lens. Since this is our only camera (apart from our smartphones), I was thinking of adding a more powerful zoom. Do you have any recommendations?
Is this the strap/connector you had when you were here that connected to your backpack?? I need that one!
Nope. That’s this one: https://currentlywandering.com/2013/11/26/peak-design-capture-pro-camera-clip-v2-review/ I STILL love it!
