A different drone story
Do you want to increase the type of images you can capture? Most drone articles talk about what they can do for your videography; well I am here to talk about photography. I will admit when I got my first drone at the beginning of the year, I looked at it as just another neat toy. Quickly, I came to see some of the great advantages it could have with my photography. With a drone I was able to get in positions that would have been logistically difficult, if not impossible. Her

When the airport is behind your office....
When the airport is behind your office you are never sure what you will see. We get a lot of military aircraft from all over doing "touch and goes". Often by the time you hear them they are already on the "go" part. Today I heard one cycle and hoped for the best and headed out with my camera. I was not disappointed. #photography #jet #aircraft #yakima

Kansas City Highlights
While I am use to traveling and being gone a lot, I am ready to be home. I am sitting at Sea-Tac airport waiting for my connecting flight. Kansas City has a very full and rich history that I had no idea about. I will be doing individual posts about each of my adventures. Part of the city skyline KC is the home of the National World War 1 Museum Down in the trenches Union Station is another area that has tons of history and sights. One of the many clocks at the station A ve

Practice
The better you want to be at life, the more you have to practice. All skills are perishable and as new tools come along you have to change with the times. As I progress with my photography I have been adding new items to help improve. Each new item requires practice. Knowing I had another week of training in Kansas City I booked a couple of extra days to do some sight seeing and work on my craft. Two days before I left I received a new camera. It was a tough decision on which

When the moon hits your eye.....
This evening the dogs decided they needed to go out and bark at something scary in the yard. I am sure it was a horse, a cow or something really scary like a shadow. The great part about them wanting out is that I noticed the moon just starting to come up over the hill. #moon #landscape #night #photography

Spring is coming
The snow is finally almost gone; the grass is getting green, the sun is shining and the temperatures are rising. This made for a great trip home to capture some great images. Grain silos near Coulee City, WA Old house and truck along Highway 2 that are frequently photographed. You will be seeing more of these as the seasons change.

GoPro Hero 6, Karma Drone
I am updating this, 8/17/18, as I can no longer support or recommend any GoPro product. I have not modified the original content of this post, other then to remove the links. On 7/29/18 my Karma drone had a disconnect error and flew off. I was initially unable to find the unit, I opened a case with GoPro. 1 week after the loss, prior to a response from GoPro, the drone was found destroyed laying on a rock. I do not have any pictures, as I have not been able to get it back in

Then there was Bufford
To get some practice with my new lenses, I recruited a difficult, but popular model, Bufford. I was working with a very shallow depth of field since that is the reason I bought these lenses. The nice thing is that he works for treats. No picture set of Bufford would be complete without some jowl juice. When he is done you know it. #Bufford #photography #practice #Nikon #lenses

Beauty is where you find it
I have basically been trapped inside a building for a week. I am currently attending an onsite training that is being held in the hotel we are staying in. It was a 6 day class, I arrived Friday night the 3rd and tonight is my last night. With the training being held in the hotel it did not make sense to rent a car that would mostly sit. I did go out for dinner with a group a couple of nights ago, and to lunch yesterday. It is far from the amount of weekly travel I get to

Today I went Live
Today is very exciting. After years of trying to figure out how to do something with my photography, and having time to do it, that day has come. There are many people in my life that have helped me make it to this point and without their support this would not be possible. I can not thank them enough, and they know who they are. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy capturing and sharing it with you. I would enjoy hearing from you about what you like and what you w

Getting all set up
For quite some time many people have been telling me I should do something with all of my photos. Last fall my wife Beth and I spent a lot of time talking about this and how to make that happen. On January 1, 2018 J.B. Nokes Photography was born. After jumping through all the hoops of business licensing, bank accounts, social media accounts I am finally able to make the website live. I would like to thank all of the people who are helping review and make this site a success
