Untitled (Zach, San Clemente, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale For last Friday's touch football game, as I posted here, I made the switch up to the the larger Canon 5D MarkIII (Mk3), which has a image sensor with a very wide ISO capability in conjunction with using a trip-pod.

Getting back on track
Untitled (Garden District, St Charles trolley way, New Orleans, LA October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Today I seem to have a case of the blase, so I feel a off.

Untitled (Ella, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is the third in my series discussing my Friday Night Lights photographic adventures.

Untitled (Bourbon Street, New Orleans, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale We attended a destination wedding in New Orleans, aka NoLa or The Big Easy, this past weekend.

Somewhere over Oz
Untitled (Michigan, September 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I was surprised at the end of my photographic tweaking as to how this photograph is pulling me in. To be honest, it was one of series of grab shots that I made on approach while landing at Detroit Metro airport. Having made this landing recently, I... Continue Reading →
Starting line
Untitled (DTW, Michigan, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is a follow on post from yesterday, as that photograph and this one were made within a minute of each other.

Paris – the party Seine
Untitled (the party Seine, Paris, 2010) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale In 2010 I had an opportunity to be in Paris during the summer and found a rite of summer (or anytime that is warm enough) that is frequently celebrated in this city; partying along the banks of the river Seine, thus the punster title of...

Flying by the seat of my pants
Untitled (Over Oz, Michigan, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I keep getting asked how I am able to create my interesting aerial landscapes that I share here, such as this one and the one I posted yesterday. So here is the story about how I photograph landscapes while flying by the seat of my pants,... Continue Reading →
