I get asked this question every week so I have finally got round to making a tutorial video about it.
Photoshop Tutorial :: How to make a sequence from Dan Carr on Vimeo.
A couple of months ago I was interviewed by a writer from the UpDown Magazine. A Canadian magazine available in Montreal,Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary areas that explores the arts and culture of life on the snow.ÂÂ
These were the photos that were also featured in the magazine:
Last week a new camera arrived the day before a big shoot for a large pharmaceutical company. I’m not one for going out and shooting test cards and greyscales and all that kind of stuff. I simply like to test my gear in the situations that I normally find myself. Draw from this what you [...]
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of receiving an invite to take part in this winter’s DEEP WINTER photo challenge, presented by Arcteryx in my home town of Whistler in British Columbia.
Myself and three other professional snow photographers will battle the elements and storms of the West coast for three days in [...]
Following on from Part 1 where I took a look at some useful sound accessories for the 5DMKII, this week I’m going to be taking a look at video heads for your tripod. For photographers out there wishing to take advantage of the video capabilities of this camera , there is no getting around the [...]
This is my favorite shot from an urban trip with Theory-3 media. For a while I struggled to find a good angle to make an interesting shot. There was nothing on either side of the rail to use for composition and I was disappointed with the shots. Then I decided to get right up against [...]
Tomorrow I will be taking delivery of my new Canon 5d MarkII digital SLR camera. This camera has been in development for a very long time and pre-orders for the camera after it’s announcement were staggering. Its is in VERY short supply around the world but I am lucky enough to be taking delivery of [...]
The day that this town has been waiting for finally arrived. I’m going to keep this post short, it speaks for itself. Were the conditions great up there? No , far from it. Was it great to be back on skis? Ohhhhh yes. Judging by the height of the snow pack , we are still [...]
It’s not always about the action shots, this shot is one of my favorites from a day in Vancouver with Anthony Boronowski last year (click to see it larger). It had been a long time since Anthony had done a lot of urban and yet here he was trying to get his 270 on. There’s [...]
Anyone that has ever used a DSLR outside in bright sunshine knows that it can sometimes be tough to see the LCD on the back of the camera. Yes you can get a rough idea whats going on but when you are trying to check critical focusing or exposure with the histogram it can be [...]
This shot is on the back cover of the December Issue of Freeskier. It was shot shot in April on Blackcomb mountain in Whistler, BC during a shoot with Matchstick Productions. To read the full story about the shoot you can read my article on Newschoolers.com here and as always, click the photo to view [...]
Last summer I was sent on an assignment to New Zealand to ski on an active volcano on the North Island. I took British pro skiers Darryl Ball and Luke Potts with me and the article was run in the British ski mag Fall Line. This was one of my all time coolest trips so [...]
Ski And Snow is the largest snow sports magazine in the southern hemisphere and this winter then ran an 8 page article and photo gallery about me and my photography. Check it out! I’m stoked and obviously very flattered, it looked fantastic. As an added bonus I also had the cover of the very same [...]
Here’s a couple of cool adverts for Spyder clothing, both were shot at Camp Of Champions on the Horstman Glacier here in Whistler this summer. Thanks to Fabia Gruebler,Matt Sterbenz and the 4FRNT crew for arranging the sunset shoot for Matt Hayward (in the yellow suit) and big thanks to the COC park crew for [...]
Firstly let’s just quickly cover why you might want to make a twin flash bracket. Using two flashes where you might normally only have one has several advantages. Firstly and most obviously you have double the power, useful if you are trying to overpower the sun outside. Secondly if you use both flashes at half [...]
I sold a photo to Whistler Blackcomb recently for them to use in an advert for the new Peak to Peak gondola. If you haven’t heard of the gondola project check it out here. The gondola spans the valley between Whistler and Blackcomb mountain and will be officially opened this winter. The [...]
Over the last couple of years I have experimented with with several different ballheads and failed to find what I was looking for. I don’t use a ballhead very often for my work but when i do need one, i need one that is going to be reliable in fairly hostile environments. Last year I [...]

Jim Jannard, billionaire ex-owner of eye wear giant Oakley, announced today a new camera system that should give most professional photographers some considerable food for thought. Jannard’s company, RED, has already caused quite a stir in the movie industry over the last couple of years with the introduction of what is widely held as the [...]
