Jonathan Kingston on One Kings Lane | Artists We Love | Sale

I found out earlier this week that One Kings Lane wished to bring me back for another of their famous sales events – which is live NOW and ends Sunday December 10.  They are featuring three of my photographs including the  Venezuelan Village print HERE, Saris, India print HERE, and my Surf Beetle, Hawaii print [...]

See The Light, Molokai, Hawaii, Day 6

Point And Shoot My wife and I had just walked back to our cabin at the Hui when I saw the gecko on the window. It was perched on the outside of the window glass with a bug over half its size in its mouth. Having tried numerous times to get a good shot of [...]

See The Light, Molokai, Hawaii, Day 4

What is the story? Many people ask me how many good photographs I get when I go out shooting.  Back in the film days this question was framed ‘Jonathan, how many good photos do you get per roll of 36 images?’ Now, with the 36 image roll of film irrelevant, they simply reframe the question to [...]

See The Light, Molokai, Hawaii, Day 3

Perhaps it is because I am the youngest sibling in my family, or perhaps it was a habit developed later in life – but I must confess that I like to compete and I like to win. I thrive under pressure. It clarifies my mind better than any cup of coffee could by eliminating the [...]

See The Light, Molokai, Hawaii, Day 2

Photographing on the west end of Molokai I was astonished to see bodyboarders riding a wave that I have never seen anybody surf before. Yet there the bodyboarders were charging a gnarly right that threatened to spit them onto a rocky lava shelf. Risking life and limb they took off with great smiles of glee [...]

See The Light, Molokai, Hawaii, Day 1

Day 1 of See The Light on Molokai, Hawaii.  Participants arrive from as far away as Canada.  Molokai greets them with a spectacular sunset and show of stars.  Below is the Veitchi palm off the front porch of my cabin at the Hui Hoolana.

Jonathan Kingston photo featured in National Geographic online

It was a beautiful spring day hiking with my bride-to-be  (although I didn’t know that at the time), on Eagle Creek trail outside of Portland, Oregon.  Moments after I snapped this frame a giant dead tree careened over the falls and almost took out my future wife!  Fortunately the fates had a different plan for [...]

How to Photograph Star Trails with a Digital SLR (+ Video!)

  What are Star Trails? Simply stated, star trails are the streaks in a photograph left by stars during a time exposure as the Earth rotates.  Objects in the foreground of the photograph remain sharp as they are not moving relative to the camera, while the stars, depending on which cardinal direction the camera is [...]

How to batch delete photos from your iPhone

THE PROBLEM I recently ran into a rather big problem in the iOS world.  I completely filled up my phones 32 gigs of memory with photos, and realized to late that it is not terribly efficient to delete them manually on the phone.  I have had my iphone for a couple years and have always [...]
