  • On the Oakland A’s Pitching Mound (in 360)!

    Note:  Just a quick thank you to the Oakland A’s, Peter Read Miller and Michael Zagaris and anyone else who allowed me (or didn’t not allow me) to do this.  It was a truly remarkable experience.

  • Ever wonder what Finger Snapping looks like in Super Slo Mo?

    Here is my beginning movie with extremely high speed photography.  This started out as a simple high speed test but actually developed into something quite amazing.  Much of life is invisible; happening too fast, too slow, too big or too small to truly appreciate.  Finding ways of reversing these extremes and finding ways to appreciate […]

  • Redondo Beach Little League Fields

    There are three main locations for Redondo Beach Little League Fields.  They are Anderson Park, Perry Park and Dominguez Park.  What follows are some tours of each of the locations and each of the fields from home plate.  

  • Vegas Trip and 360 Pano Test

    Hoping this works :0   It’s not a perfect panoramic ‘stitch’, but for some friends in a hotel lobby, this should work.  Be sure to check  it on a mobile device for live interactive look-abouts.  Well… here are my friends and I during our annual trip to the desert.

  • The Chris Birch Poetry Contest (2015) Winning Poem

    Well…  after years of watching Chris Birch’s amazing annual Valentine’s Day poetry contest for boaters to submit themed poems from the boat to the mariner, I submitted an entry and actually ‘won’ the contest.  I’m telling my wife and others that I am an ‘award winning poet’. This, of course, is purely tongue-in-cheek, but has […]

  • A Cold Winter in Redondo Beach

    This timelapse with my new gear is going to be the first of many many complex motion timelapses with some new tools.  It was a bit clunky and there is what appears to be a number of additional considerations for an extreme rotation (I think that this was about 160 degrees).  Anyway, after days of […]

  • 360 Product Rotation with Color Swatches

    In addition to the basic web product 360 animations, I am now utilizing 360 degree product rotation animations with color swatches and the results are pretty cool. Take a look and see what you think!

  • Introducing the New and Improved Mark Nicholas Photography Site!

    Introducing the new and improved site! After several years with the old site, I finally took the time to develop an enhanced look and feel. The new Mark Nicholas Photography site will hopefully be much easier to navigate, but display images in a much more streamlined fashion. Check it out! And let me know what […]

  • Oakland A’s vs. Boston Red Sox – The Trenches

    A day of shooting with Oakland A’s was a tremendous outing. The game was exciting and the mood on the field was high. I had the opportunity to spend time with sporting (and life) legends Peter Read Miller, Michael Zagaris (Zee), Brad Mangin and Thearon W. Henderson and got some shots that made the outing […]

  • Patience: The Nature Photographer’s Only Friend

    As a photographer, I am a witness to nature, not a controller of it.  I take what it gives me. is, quite simply, an act of force. We cannot just “be” patient. Yet patience is the key to practically every magical nature shot.
