Photo equipment for those interested in geeking out on the technical side
A lot of people ask me what type of equipment I use. Though I don't find that the specifics of equipment matters all that much as all of the equipment is really good these days, thought I'd start a blog post of shots and descriptions that may help out those just getting started in photography.
This is the setup for the impressions series to create dreamlike light painted images with no photoshop! Images straight out of the camera with filters and intentional camera movement.
Sample of the "Impressions Series" Check out the whole collection here:
Scuba gear for underwater shots...I use the Ikelite system for Canon 5dMkii with a 17-40L lens, and 100mm macro.
Preliminary scan of 120 roll of Velvia 50 on Epson V70
Film Camera: The Fuji G 6x17 large format panoramic camera with Fuji Velvia 50. Can only take 4 photos at a time with this beast. I rarely use this film camera any more due to the high expense of processing and hard to find film. I used it mostly for compositions with moving objects where stitching can be difficult
Tripod: Induro 413. I love this thing, solid and even better, extends to 76". (I'm 6'5" and it helps)

“Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight”
Craig W. Hergert. Essays by Shann Ray.
Few images capture the grandeur of Mon-
tana—big sky, big land, big mountains, big
everything—as well as Bozeman photographer
Craig Hergert’s panoramic photographs. In
his newest coffee-table book, Hergert takes
viewers on a journey to 26 areas from Glacier
National Park to Ekalaka. We almost don’t
want to recommend this stunning photogra-
phy collection, because anyone who sees it
will want to immediately move to Montana.
