If I were to factor in the money I actually made in image sales from photos taken with my Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x, it wouldn’t have cost me anything at all.

I’m San Diego-based photographer Daniel Schenkelberg, and in the 1-minute video above, watch as I show you how I captured this face on remote camera shot mid-air.

A surgeon at a meat market. It’s an absolutely simple yet ridiculous idea, so it had to be done for real!

As a photographer, I’ve never really planned my shoots too much. I kind of look at what I’ll be shooting and think of cool-looking images. Then I try my best to match what I’m seeing in my head through photography and sometimes post-production. petapixel.com »

I recently shot a wedding with just one lens, a Rokinon 35mm t/1.5 on a Sony a7S II body. This was completely unplanned and wasn’t done to prove any point.

One of the greatest things about photography is the seemingly endless supply of new opportunities and new challenges. No matter how many “new” or “weird” or “difficult” experiences you’ve had as a photographer, you’ve never seen it all, and there’s always something unique about each project. petapixel.com »
