Known for Big Animal Action, the Sea of Cortez is home to a Wealth of Macro Photography Subjects

The Midriff Islands are nestled in the Gulf of California between the Baja California peninsula and mainland Mexico. The Rocio Del Mar operates the only liveaboard in this part of the Sea of Cortez, originating out of Puerto Peñasco. This little town is a short car ride from Phoenix, Arizona - that’s right - Arizona!

SeaLife Introduces the First Permanently Sealed Never-Leak Underwater Camera: The Micro HD

SeaLife has announced a small photo and HD video camera, The Micro HD, that looks poised to give GoPro some serious competition for underwater use. The Micro HD and Micro HD+ record 13MP photos and 1080p HD resolution video, but the ergonomic housing design is made to be handheld - an obvious advantage for still photographers. SeaLife's trademark piano key controls are very easy to see and operate underwater.

Scott's Easy Steps for Getting Photos Edited and Out There

Scott's Easy Steps for Getting Photos Edited and Out There

 

I like to get my photos out there as quickly as possible. In fact, I try to be done with processing my photos within a day of returning from a trip.

Not everyone wants to sort through thousands of photos after a trip and spend hours editing them, so I've developed a system that everyone can use to make the process as easy as possible. I am using Adobe Lightroom 5, but these tips can be used with any of the recent versions.
