Are my photos for sale?

While all of my photographs are copyrighted, they are available for non-exclusive licensing and I also sell large size prints. Contact me via email at greg.jones.design@icloud.com for pricing info.

Welcome

to my personal blog. Here I post examples of my photography and writing. I specialize in making unique and highly detailed photographs. Notice I said making and not taking. Yes I take photos but a lot of time and work is involved in pushing and punishing the pixels in my images to achieve the look I like.

Please feel free make comments about any of my words or photos. I enjoy constructive critiques, learning about locations to shoot or photography techniques. Click on the "Share Article" link to share any of my photos via Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Want to use one of my posts in your own blog? No problem, but please make sure it links back to the original post here and do the right thing and give me credit. Don't copy my words, crop the images, remove the watermarks or claim my work as your own. This has happened more times than I can count so I've had to report copyright violations to ISP's and regrettably the violators blog is usually taken down.

Can't we all just get along?

Sigma 14mm


Sigma 14mm, originally uploaded by big_pixel_pusher.

Many Ritz Camera stores are closing in my area and everything in the stores is now discounted. I picked up this Sigma 14mm f2.8 which is heavy and built like a artillery shell. This photo was taken with yet another Sigma lens I bought at Ritz just for fun because it was so cheap. A 28-90 Macro for less than $18 US.

Fort Point Panorama [Explored]

The Golden Gate bridge arches over Fort Point before continuing on across the San Francisco bay. It was extremely windy the day I shot this. I actually got blown over twice but saved the camera! I will need to restitch this as there are some areas that didn't match up quite right.
