Another Snowy Day and the Nikon J1
I’m a big proponent of not worrying too much about your gear. Just look around the internet and you’ll see why. There are people who have what would be considered low-end cameras and produce amazing photographs, and there are people who have prohibitively expensive cameras and lenses, and take (at least to me) uninspiring, boring photographs.

When I stumbled across this spot, I could...

I know a lot of people like light trail photography, but not everyone knows how to do it. So using this photo I take you from the location where I shot it all the way through my post processing workflow. This photo was taken here in...
