There's no way that last photo was not heavily edited!!

Great photo's all around!

How do you get your photos to look so clear?! Is it the lens or vamping up the "clarity" in post edit?

The last I played around with. I added a little saturation just to bring out the colors but not much. You've got to remember this was a severe cold front colliding with a warm front, so this doesn't happen very often. Mother nature definitely produced this go around. I was shocked at how colorful it was. I edit the photos to match the way my mind/eye pictured it.

I credit the lenses with the clarity. I use only "L series" lenses...nothing else. I also shoot RAW in the largest format.
 
You make a guy wanna go out and buy a expensive camera just so I can try and take pictures like you do.

Never gonna happen, at least the store would be happy with the money I spent LOL :wof:
 
Cruisin' :zoom:

I think the coolest thing about your pictures is how well they seem to capture the "spirit" of the moment. When I look at them I feel like I am there, or I have been there. awesome work man!
I would never attempt to compare my shitty cellphone pictures to your amazing work but that is always something I try to capture when I'm out. this HTC comes up with some half decent pictures now and again.
Did I see you say something in another thread about getting rid of your Baja rack?
 
best life ever :D :rockon:

If you ever pass through Austin, I'd love to go find some dirt roads and do some shooting!

(leaving my job of 10 years next week so maybe I can tag along one day :p )

Thank you for the details!

Side note, do you have a website just for your photography?
 
Seriously inspiring, makes me want to take off work, go explore and have fun! Awesome photography, thank you for sharing!
 
What all do you have on the dash and what's up by the terrain select?

Do you just use the iPad for music?

I have a GoPro and a Garmin on the dash.

In the center-right vent is a Petzel headlamp. My gf clipped it there one time we were on a trip and I haven't taken it down. It's actually EXTREMELY useful. It has a swivel mount and she was using it as a personal light to read. The great thing is that it has a red lamp, so it doesn't bother me while I drive.

The thing on the flasher button is a beer can opener that reads "RUN WILD".

The thing near the terrain select is an ASOTO torch. I use that damn thing so much it's ridiculous. It's clipped there so it's not going anywhere unless I tug on it. I got sick of it rattling around in my center console. I use it to for camping and cooking, and whatever else I can find. It has an retractable head...it's a really impressive piece of kit. You're probably asking why I would keep it there? Well, I camp out on average about 140+ nights a year, so I found that I would always spend 5-10 min trying to find "my lighter". I got sick of it, so I put it right above me!

I use the IPAD for music and navigation sometimes. When the GF is riding with me, she'll watch movies and play games.

There's also a cell phone mount you can't see, as well as a fixed blade mounted near the shifter. My friends always make jokes about how if I get in an accident and I'm the only one involved, the cops are going to wonder how I was burned and stabbed all at once?!?!

Oh...and the thing around the rear view mirror is a KIA bracelet.
 
Watch out Peter Lik, J-Blick is coming for you:photo:

Seriously though, your work is amazing! Thank you for sharing with us.
 
Your photos are always so well planned and staged. Really encourages the imagination and makes me want to get out to the remote places.

Thanks brother, that really means a lot!

I did talk about selling my baja rack. I'm looking around right now for replacements. I'm looking at Frontrunneroutfitters.com since they have more of a "Platform" style rack.

Definitely. I've noticed there are a lot of guys in Austin/S.A on the forum. I'll let you know when/if I come through.

Thanks!

I'm working on the website as we speak. I've got a bunch of trips planned this year....Puerto Rico, Norway, South America, Mexico. I really wanted to wait and collect a few more images before I really commit.

[MENTION=93894]J-BlickPhoto[/MENTION], How in depth is your wiring for your accessory lighting? Do you run dual battery set up or just the single battery? Did you run wiring through rear hatch?
