Frosty Mornings and Epic Sunsets
Snow shoot with Lily
Best part about being roomies is the spontaneous photo shoots. Couldn't let a good snow day slip away.
2023 Year in Review
2023 hasn’t been a year for writing. Or for a lot of intentional photography. My priorities focused heavily on people and experiences, and I’m happy about that. I shot significantly more in 2023, but they were largely snapshots. 5,460 iPhone photos vs. 2,576 A7R3 photos. I subscribe to the notion that the best camera is... Continue Reading →
Catching Up
I have some catching up to do. This was the first summer in awhile that ended without me wishing I had done more. It was full of friends and family and adventures. Fall brought more of the same, and a new roomie. I keep telling myself I’m going to do more short posts instead of... Continue Reading →
Adventure Friends
I have a pretty small and diverse selection of great friends. It's true what they say--as you get older, you start to value quality over quantity. Lily has become one of the best. We've discovered that we adventure similarly. We're perfectly fine with stopping every ten minutes to take photos of flowers, or a stunning... Continue Reading →
SE Oregon Desert Road Trip
I first saw pictures of the Alvord Desert 10 years ago, and knew it was a place I needed to visit. I never had the opportunity when I lived in Oregon, but after moving back to Montana I started planning the trip. It was originally supposed to just be just a trip to Alvord, but... Continue Reading →
Year in Photos 2022
It’s that time of year again. 2022 was an odd year in photography for me. I was less than inspired most of the time. My 52 project fell short, and I can’t blame Covid this time. I’m really not looking to blame anything—2022 was what it was. It was great in so many ways, and... Continue Reading →
Impromptu shoot with Lily
We were just sitting in the office and decided the light was good enough for a shoot. I miss shoots like this. No planning or preparation--just grab the camera and try to avoid traffic. I'm hoping we can do more this winter.
Sunset Test Shoot with Lily
Lily and I have been talking about shooting for half a year. We finally found the time (and weather!) to squeeze in a quick test shoot. She’s an amazing photographer herself, so she was basically reading my mind while we wandered around this spot on a dirt road in Central Montana. We already have plans... Continue Reading →
52 Portraits 2022
Better late than never, right? I kinda knew I wanted to shoot this year's photos with the Canon M6, so I had to wait until I picked it up. But, we're off and running. Here's the obligatory self portrait, and 1 of 52. As always, the full gallery can be found at 52.daniel.photo. Let's get... Continue Reading →
Canon EOs M6 Mk II
I know, I know--I switched to Sony almost 5 years ago. But I missed my old M3 with the 22mm ƒ2 lens. It was the perfect walking around camera. The Sony A7R III is a small camera, but Sony just doesn't have a pancake lens I like. So I bought the M6 and the 22mm.... Continue Reading →
