Summer Has Arrived! Time to Get Out and Explore!!

CBphotography — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:29:50 +0000

Today is June 21 and the first official day of summer. Clear skies, beautiful weather and warm summer nights. I hope you all get a chance to head to the beaches, hike up into the mountains or just enjoy spending the weekends outside. With the onslaught of the BP oil spill, this is a great time of year to celebrate all of the various reasons we love and cherish nature and the outdoors. He is a quick video from The Nature Conservancy that I have shown before but that I feel is fitting.

I leave you with two photos that are meant to inspire you to get outside and start exploring!

“Eden” – Byron Bay, Australia – 2004

“Buddhist Heights” – Annapurna Circuit, Nepal – 2007

What is it like to take local buses in a 3rd world country? How do I determine what to document on a trip to another country? What it is like to live life in my shoes?

It started yesterday with Day 1 and continues today with Day 2. Be sure to check back in each day with them to read the full story. This piece covers 12 days of travel through the beautiful, wild and amazing country of Guatemala. Enjoy!

New Promo Video of CB Photography from Discovered Artists

A few months ago, I was contacted by an online fine art gallery called “Discovered Artists”. Specializing in connecting clients with artists, they expressed interest in my work and soon after we began a business relationship. This video is one of 3 promotional videos they will produce this year to help get my work out in front of as many people as possible. I think they did a great job and I look forward to doing business with them in the future.

Summit On The Summit Video

While I don’t typically follow celebrity happenings, this video crossed my path and caught my attention. Clean drinking water is one of the largest, if not the largest human problem that we face on this planet. If it takes a couple celebrities to raise awareness and money, so be it. Please share with your friends and family!

Our World Through HDR (High Dynamic Range)

CBphotography — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:16:08 +0000

In the recent years, technology, in regards to photography, has progressed with leaps and bounds. The industry itself has pushed the envelope in almost every aspect, giving photographers the ability to create images that they would of never thought possible. Just two years ago, no one would of thought about having the ability to shoot HD video out of a DSLR, now we have a handful of professional and amateur cameras that offer this unique feature. Canon and Nikon have both recently released (or announced) cameras that are going to be able to take usable photos with an ISO of 128,000, which is both insane and amazing at the same time.

Just as with any industry, these advances in technology have spurred creative art in ways that push the boundaries of what we thought was possible. One of these such advances that has picked up momentum in the recent years is High Dynamic Range photography. Also known as HDR, this realms of photography involves combining a minimum of three images of the exact same composition, using different exposures. You then combing those exposures using a program such as Photomatix, effectively blending multiple spectrums of light into a single image. Through digital processing, you can make the image as surreal or real as you like. While I will save the details of the process for another post, you can check out Trey Ratliff’s website Stuck In Customs. He is easily the most famous and talented HDR photographer in the world today. Check out his website, you won’t be disappointed.

Below is a mix of some of my favorite HDR images that I have taken over the past few years. I hope you enjoy them.

F-Stop Gear’s “Week In the Life of” Colby Brown…

CBphotography — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:46:07 +0000

A few weeks ago, I was asked by F-Stop Gear to put together a piece on what it is like to live my life as a adventure/travel photographer. Their series, called “A Week In the Life of..”, is meant to allow inspiring photographers the opportunity to see the daily activity of professionals out in the field. For my segment, I choose to write about my time exploring Wyoming’s Wind River Range back in September of this year. Over the course of the the next week, you will have the opportunity to follow along and see for yourself, what it is like to live in my shoes. I hope you enjoy.
