Oh! Hai! I had been told that the amount of wildlife in Antarctica would blow me away... Even with that warning I am still flabbergasted at the amount of wildlife. Seals, whales, penguins... They are everywhere. A few minutes earlier we were photographing
TobiasGel:
Again and again we find ourselves on deck or on shore just blown away by the scenery. When Antarctica is mentioned I think most people picture flat ice and penguins. There's so much more here! Epic mountains, cascades of glaciers and beautiful little cove
TobiasGel:
The smallest march of the penguins 😉 Dear mom, Antarctica camp is fun. Today they took us out on zodiacs to watch whales feed on Krill. We were close enough to smell the whale breath. Later we were back on the big boat and saw a pod of Orcas, they we
TobiasGel:
We made landfall!! Roughly 48hrs after leaving Ushuaia and civilization behind, we arrived at the South Shetland Islands and made landfall on the tiny Barrientos island. Because of the small size the penguins are packed on, it was dreamy! Penguins waddlin
TobiasGel:
Fantastical ice! Love these shapes and can't wait to see loads more ice in Antarctica. We are nearing the halfway point of the Drake Passage crossing. The crossing started with some good waves, everyone was teetering around like a drunk. It's settled down

You always hear- the best camera is the one you have with you. Well, I had three - the Sony a7RIII, the Sony a7iii, and my Pixel3. I used all three with different combos of lenses - I knew there was a pretty epic shot here with such an interesting foregro

I mentioned Maria Lousia in my last post (did you see it, it was just a pic of some mountains NBD ;) Here is Maria Lousia being led to the shearing room. I love the window light and all the wood texture in this old barn. Zoom in Maria Louisa's face - look
TobiasGel:
Today was about more scenery, delicious food, watching a gaucho shear Maria Lousia(a sheep), watching a gaucho chase down a loose bull (who happened to run by us). About that sheep shearing - the only sheep shearing I previously witnessed was in America a

Just another day in paradise! We wrapped up our whirlwind tour of Buenos Aires yesterday, which included a tango show - holy crap it was WAY more fun than I expected! And a stop at the beautiful rose garden - which happened to be closed haha- Still made t

The Sony a6400 review is now LIVE! Click the link in the bio to watch- If you have never held a camera from Sony's a6000 line you will be blown away by how lightweight these cameras are. Even after you add the Sony 18-135 it remains a portable and lightwe

**JUMP** After two full days of shooting with the Sony a6400 I can say that this camera is capable of producing excellent images/video and offers blazing fast and smart autofocus. But it has some quirks that we will share with you in our review, releasing
TobiasGel:
Sony a6400 is sharp. At this price point (body only $900) nothing else will provide this level of quality photos and video paired with very capable AF features. That said, it's not a perfect camera and I will give you all the pros and cons in the review v

2018 was pretty epic in the amount of travel and new destinations I got to visit. For the first time, I put together one epic FOUR HOUR youtube video that covers my entire year! j/k, it's less than 14 minutes and shares photos and video clips never seen b

Happy New Year! Epic sunset to start 2019. Back home from a little family trip where we played in the snow and I tested the Autel EVO drone and the Nikon Z 7. My daughter pointed out the sunset and up went the drone for a quick photo - My early impression

Which of these two would you pick and why? Nikon Z 6 with 24-70 f/4 lens vs the Sony a7iii and Tamron 28-74 f/2.8 lens. Price is nearly identical. I won't share any more at the moment - I want your unadulterated opinions*. #Sony #Nikon #A7iii #a7m3 #Nikon

From 7 am to 7 PM I left my basement office/studio for a 15-minute lunch and a 30-minute dog walk. I am still here :) Some days the hours fly by and I try to figure out where to put my energies - some days I spend more time trying to decide where to focus

Winter Wonderland! Cold weather drone flights always make me a bit nervous. Temps were hovering around 10°F (-12°C) but I just made sure I kept the batteries warm before the flight and brought it back long before 40% battery life and all was good. The pro
