Another thanks to Michael Mehl for reviewing my Night and Day exhibit on the FOTOSEPTIEMBRE USA website. It contains a number of images that illustrate the size of the work and the installation (more…)


Dan Goddard review

A big thanks to Dan Goddard for his thoughtful review of my Night and Day exhibition at Bismarck Studios.


back from the mono lake night workshop

The Mono Lake workshop co-taught with Lance Keimig was a great success. We had a great group of 14 photographers who were all open to the spirit of sharing, discussion and encouragement. We shot in Mono Lake, Olmstead Point, Bodie Ghost town, Bridgeport and the Travertine Hot Springs often reaching 3 or 4 am until our camera’s batteries ran out. In the mornings we held lengthy review and critique sessions with some really good coffee thanks to the local Lee Vining coffeshop Latte Da. Lightroom RAW image development was a major focus during classroom time when Lance wasn’t inspiring us with slideshows of the great night photographers, past and present. Thanks to all that attended! Here are a few images from the trip:

Those interested in this type of workshop might consider attending our Night Photography workshop in in Big Bend next month or contact Lance or myself about other opportunities.


“night and day” exhibition announcement

Bismarck Studios is hosting a solo exhibition of my recent work during the month of September in San Antonio, Texas. I’ve always been fascinated with work that shows a different interpretation than what the human eye sees at the same time. This new body of work deals studies the natural landscape in abstract form. Created over the past year, this exhibition includes images made both during the day and throughout the night. Along with 15+ minute exposures, night photographs evokes a solitary, eerie and seldom seen landscape. This exhibit exclusively features 5 by 7 foot prints.

Please join me for the opening reception with live music Thursday, Sept 4th 6:30-9pm. (more…)


Night sky time lapse

I’ve been making a number of time lapse movies and night photographs so I’m particularly impressed with Dan Heller’s time lapse of the night sky.

Halfdome at Yosemite

I’m taking part in the Yosemite Extreme Panoramic Imaging Project this weekend. Along with over 70 photographers and digital imaging experts we will spread out over the Yosemite Valley and will each capture gigapixel (1000 megabyte) images that will be compiled into one of the highest resolution images ever made.

PMA in Vegas

I’ll be at PMA again this year and am looking forward to seeing many of you there. Feel free to email me at scott[at]on-sight.com or call me (if you know my number) if you would like to get together.


new website

Ahhhh, a fresh, new website. I have lots of ideas for future content and this format should allow greater flexibility for adding it. This site merges my previously separate fine art photography and consulting websites. My original fine art photography website at hotx.com/scott has finally been shut down. It was online since 1994 and was listed in Shutterbug magazine in 1995 as one of the first 10 photography sites on the internet. That was fun but it was time to move on. I will be adding Lightroom web galleries to the personal work section shortly. Note that the photo in the sidear is random and changes often. So, welcome to the new site! Feel free to tell me what you think and what you would like to see here in the comments section of this post.
