Dan Wampler

Dan Wampler is a digital artist from St Louis, MO. Having been interested in art and photography since childhood, he spent most of adult life working for Kodak and in the portrait photography industry. A student of the works of Ansel Adams, Any Warhol, and David Hamilton, Dan attempted to keep a wide range of artistic style.

As an early adopter of digital imaging, he found it gave him a way to completely incorporate art and photography. Began shooting Digital Infrared in 2004, and had first camera converted in 2006. His work has been seen in numerous gallery shows, is featured in an iTunes app. He produces Infrared and natural color digital art for sale and teaches his post-production techniques online.

StreetWalker V2.0 by ThinkTank Photo  (Part One)

StreetWalker V2.0 by ThinkTank Photo (Part One)

Tomorrow, I am taking an adventurous group of photographers to Kenya for an amazing 10 Day African Safari.  This Safari offers the opportunity to capture the images of a lifetime.  What it doesn’t offer though is a large amount of space for a Camera bag.  So, I had to whittle what I wanted to bring […]

The Adobe Apocalypse

The Adobe Apocalypse

Last week, the interwebs lost its mind.  Why? No, Kylie didn’t get a new tattoo, this was even more serious!  Adobe was raising their pricing for Photoshop CC!!!!   Adobe Photoshop CC has been $9.99 a month for ……umm, …… a really long time.  Who do they think they are?  A company that has the right […]

The (new?!?) Aerochrome Look

The (new?!?) Aerochrome Look

Aww, the Look of Aerchrome Infrared.  Isn’t it so cool?   That Blue Sky and the cool Red foliage. It really has such a cool look. I love the Aerochrome Infrared look, even with people.   I’ve been emulating the look of Aerochrome IR for years.  In fact, if you’ve had a camera converted in the past […]

Long Exposures – EOS-R

Long Exposures – EOS-R

Recently, there has been discussion and concerns regarding the Canon EOS-R and Long Exposures.  The way the story (wrongly) goes is that the EOS-R has an internal IR light that will fog any long exposures or exposures at a high ISO.  This is not the case.  I have been shooting with the Canon EOS-R now […]

The 2019 Missouri Botanical Gardens Orchid Show

The 2019 Missouri Botanical Gardens Orchid Show

Every year at this time, the Missouri Botanical Gardens puts together what is said to be the best Orchid Show in the United States.  For the past 5 years, I have had the privilege and honor of photographing this show right before it opens.  The minute you walk thru the exhibit doors, you are immediately transported […]

Real Street Photography  on the road to Nairobi

Real Street Photography on the road to Nairobi

I like the idea of street photography.  Capturing the real day to day activities of a locale.  During my trip to Kenya this year, I wanted to capture some “real life ” images, but whenever I got my camera out everything changed . . . . .  because I was there, and everyone knew I was photographing them.  I […]

My Perfect Conversion

My Perfect Conversion

I got into Digital Infrared very early; over tens years ago.  I still remember wandering onto this amazing looking image online and going “Whoa, . . . .what is that?”  I’ve always loved the look of digital IR and the way it can make almost anything look more interesting.  Up until a year ago, if […]

My EOS R . . .  part two

My EOS R . . . part two

One week ago today I reviewed the new EOS R, Canons first Full Frame Mirrorless camera.  As a color camera, it was easily as good as my 5DMKIV and with the converter ring I was able to seamlessly use all my EF lenses.  However, I didn’t buy the R to use as a color camera.  […]

The Canon EOS R . . .  Part One

The Canon EOS R . . . Part One

Over the last few years, the mirrorless camera has rapidly moved in and taken over a large portion of the prosumer, and professional market.  If you are a Canon shooter like I am, you have watched and waited, and then waited some more for Canon to jump into the Full frame mirrorless game.  There have been rumors […]

Kenya, Africa

Kenya, Africa

Jambo,  Like most photographers, I have a “Bucket List”; a set of locations that I want to photograph before I kick the bucket.  Africa has always been on that list, and it was at the top.  This last June 1st I got to mark that one as done.  The safari I signed on for was a 10-day […]

Water Lilies in Infrared

Summer is still upon us but is starting to wind down.   While it is still warm I like to make the most of shooting opportunities, and one thing I love to shoot is Water Lilies.  In most areas where you find Water Lilies they have a fairly long season.  The thing to remember about Water […]

Quick Steps to a Moody Image

Quick Steps to a Moody Image

We’ve all seen those sharp, yet soft moody looking Monochromatic Black & White, or Sepia toned images that have that timeless look.  I have found an easy way to create that look and I want to show it to you.  First, let me show you the look I’m referring to. This sort of look, or something […]

Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 Lens Review

Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 Lens Review

This year I realized with the shoots I had planned I needed to add an “Ultra-Telephoto” to my gear.  Like most photographers, I have the standard 70-200mm, and even a 70-300mm, but there are times that it’s just not enough.  Being a Canon shooter, I know that Canon makes an excellent 600mm f4L lens, …….but………ummm,  …..Yeah, […]

Sun-mer Flowers

Sun-mer Flowers

Nothing says summer quite sunflowers.  The image of a sunflower reminds me of long warm days, the smell of cocoa butter suntan lotion, and ice cold lemonade.  As a photographer, sunflowers are great to shoot.  In infrared they are even better I do love the way they look.  Here’s a Super Color sunflower. Here’s one making the […]
