VSCO Cam iPhone App

The awesome folks over at Visual Supply Co. have recently created an iPhone app called VSCO Cam that I’ve been very excited about.  I LOVE taking pictures with my iPhone.  Who doesn’t, right?  And I’ve always loved Instagram.  But VSCO Cam was literally just what I was looking for.  I’ve only had it for about a week,…

Our Trip to the Grand Canyon and Back

Some of you may know that my wife Luisa ran a marathon a few weeks ago.  When she decided to run it at the Grand Canyon, I decided that we were going to make a wonderful, long and adventurous trip out of it.  We drove (from Boise, ID) the entire way and had the time…

Sachin Khona - Oh man, these are amazing. Is there anything you can’t shoot well?

Beautiful Nate!

Really love the one with the flare sunlight and the one of you framed as a shadow.. epicness!

So good!

Congrats to Luisa again on her run! Incredible!

Laura Radniecki - Good grief, Nate. These are unbelievable! I’ve been to most of those places and I dare to say, I think you’ve made them more beautiful than they are in person. Or at least close. The Antelope canyon photos look like Peter Lik’s.

Did you carry a tripod with you on your hikes? Lenses you used for most of these?

You sure are a landscape photographer!

Lynn Demaray - WOW, gorgeous!!! These are amazing!! Love every single one of them. Your view on everything was just great and your images are great!! Love every one of them, how cool to be able to have them to hang in your home!

Nate Perkes - Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate it a ton. And Laura, I do usually carry a tripod with me. It’s a smaller one so it doesn’t weigh me down. Almost all these were taken on a tripod at about f/16-f/22 usually at a pretty slow shutter speed. I think almost every shot in here was taken with the Nikon 17-35 2.8 which is a great lens past f/5.6. Most of the Antelope Canyon pictures were 10-20 second exposures.

Photo of the week?

This is NOT me trying to start back the Friday Photo of the Week tradition that lasted all of about 3 weeks.  It just happens to be a photo.  On a Friday.  More of a preview really of what’s to come. Our lives were changed by an incredible trip we took to Costa Rica last…
