Moab National Park - Utah

Moab National Park in the state of Utah is one of the beautiful red rock formation I have ever seen, it is a six hour from Las Vegas, 457 miles drive which to me the six hour drive turns into a whole day affair as the natural landscape interest compels me to stop and take the opportunity for one of a kind images. I have visited Moab five times in the past and it just does not fail me each and every visit. The character of the park seems to present itself differently every time and because of this I have done some of my best landscape work in my opinion. There are a number of activities and attractions that the park offers. From the off roaders to the trail hikers, to scenic hunters and the landscape photographers and the meditation practitioners, Moab will surely accommodate every interest for all. The surrounding parks such as Canyon Lands and the Arches are as breath taking as the entrance to Moab itself.
So next time you are in the area make sure to pay Moab National Park a visit and give at least two days to be able to maximize the enjoyment and the beauty the park offers.

PRO PHOTOGRAPHER SWITCH TO MIRRORLESS CAMERA......

As they say that the mirrorless cameras are the camera of the future. Maybe true maybe not, but there are definite advantages in going for a mirrorless cameras and I will try to go at it as much as I can from my point of view. A DSLR weight can average to 3.4 lbs. body only not to mention the cost of the camera and a good lens can be about the same as the body, even double the weight. A pro would normally carry at least two sets of equipment not to mention a mono pod, couple of flash units, which can become very heavy. Mind you, I am not trying to make a dslr look bad, I am speaking from my experience being a photographer for over forty years now. I use a Canon 1D and an aging photographer like myself less weight means a ton of comfort when doing a coverage like boxing specially in Las Vegas where one has to walk miles inside the mega casinos or covering President Obama and alike, out in the hot sun of Vegas with a ton of equipment on your back walking to the assigned positions for the photographer. This is what I have been going through in the past.

So decisions decisions decisions, I have looked at the mirrorless cameras on the market, checking out features, capacity and most importantly, cost. I favored the Samsung NX30 because what got my attention is the view finder can be pulled out and shoot waist level which gives me another angle to shoot from. The most important feature for me is the 21.9 oz. weight of the body, and the 50 - 200 lens is only 14.71 oz. and that to me is a very welcome advantage. There are technical features that I will not get into and maybe should anyone decide to go the route that I took, you can check all of the other things that a mirrorless can offer and if you think it is for you I would suggest to deal with it thoroughly before you make the move. 

I have no regrets in my decision to totally switch to the mirrorless camera system. The results so far have been nothing but superb. Please find below some fashion show coverage very recently. This are all available lights at a higher ISO rating and noise control is not a factor at all.
