A New Drone
It is incredible how quickly technology keeps changing! I started back in 2014 with a DJI Phantom 2 Vision, it was an incredible machine and the integrated camera was revolutionary but the gimbal left much to be desired. Then came the Phantom 2 Vision+, this had a much improved gimbal which I quickly upgraded to, [...]
Rouche De Boeuf – 2014 vs 2017
I didn't plan on putting together this quick "then & now" video until I returned home from my quick stop at Rouche de Boeuf a couple weeks ago. It is interesting to see a large section of the North East side of the bridge has collapsed since the 2014 video was recorded. Click through for [...]
Instagram Love
It was an honor to have a video I made featured across Instagram's social media accounts. I had the Sony A7Rii mounted on a Ronin-M using the 16-35mm f/4 lens with a Tiffin variable ND filter. I left my Macbook in my office this weekend so I edited it on an iPad so couldn't [...]

I sold all of my Canon and Samsung bodies, lenses, flashes, etc... and moved to a Sony Full-Frame kit with native [...]

Historic Downtown Perrysburg. @perrysburgwinterfest has been in full swing this weekend, always a fun event! #perrysburgwinterfest #igers_toledo A [...]
The Schoonmaker

The Schoonmaker looks especially cool at night in the frozen river. #igers_toledo #toledo A photo posted by Shawn-Exploring NW Ohio (@exploringnwo) on Jan 27, 2015 at 7:49pm PST
Lunar Eclipse
I do not update this page as often as I should, be sure to follow me on Instagram and on Facebook for more frequent updates! I woke up at 5am this morning to shoot the lunar eclipse. Conditions were perfect, I setup the camera with 300mm lens attached, started the intervalometer taking photos every 3 [...]

I will be periodically updating my Instagram Gallery and YouTube Channel with Photos and Video from the shoot. Be sure to follow both to keep up with the latest! [...]
