Stuff

Nothing too exciting on Saturday. I worked on blog posts, enjoyed a nice, easy, early 1/2 mile swim, a short nap, and I continued eating well. And I started reviewing Arash Hazeghi’s update of the The Professional Post Processing Guide so as to reflect the NeatImage V8.2 release. The original guide was based on […]

Nothing too exciting on Friday. I worked on blog posts, sent Jim home early, spent lots of time waiting for the Fed-Ex Ground and UPS guys — both came eventually, enjoyed a nice, easy 1/2 mile swim, a short nap, and continued eating well. And I did start a new section in the current […]

Nothing too exciting on Thursday. I worked on blog posts, got some lodging work done for the Bear Boat IPT, enjoyed a nice, easy 1/2 mile swim, and had my chiropractor TJ McKeon work on both shoulders for a bit. Shopped and did my meditation walk at Publix. And again I ate well.

Nothing exciting on Wednesday. I worked on blog posts, got lots of advance work done for the UK and Galapagos trips, worked a bit on the current workflow eGuide, and enjoyed a nice swim. And ate well. If you are considering this year’s Bear Boat Cubs IPT, my last Bear Boat IPT, you will […]

Chew On This for a While ...

Stuff

On Saturday I saw the Jersey Boys road show in LA with a friend. As things turned out, each of the four stars was fantastic. Rather than creating a replication of the Broadway version (that I had seen three times), the four main actors put a personal twist to their interpretations of Frankie Valli, […]

What Do You See?

Stuff

Wednesday, June 14 was getaway day, the last day of the 2017 Palouse IPT. As pretty much the entire trip had been, it was a huge success. We left the hotel in the morning well later than we had been at 4:45am. We mopped up on several spots that we had missed. The clouds […]

Happy Flag Day: Don't be Blue ...

What’s Up

We are finishing up the 2017 Palouse IPT today. We have been truly blessed with great weather and I have been blessed with a wonderful group of six Happy Campers. Huge thanks to Fern Trujillo who drove Fort DeSoto IPT veteran Ed Blanton and me around for the entire IPT. The group will […]

A Killer Find ... And More Thoughts on In-camera HDR Image Quality.

We have continued to be blessed with almost perfect sky conditions for each photo session. On our single clear blue sky morning we worked indoors in one of my very favorite barns and worked the shaded side of some old trucks and farm vehicles.

Magic Spotlight. And making the buildings disappear ...

Stuff

We had a great afternoon on Saturday photographing wind turbines and farm fields, the latter with spectacular blue-black sky backgrounds. We ended the day up on Steptoe Butte where we were greeted by a nice rainbow. And things were looking really good for sunset color right up until the last moment. How did that […]

Stuff

We canceled our after-lunch Photoshop sessionon Friday because sky conditions were perfect. We headed out at 2:30 and made hay with the clouds and the soft light with occasional sunshine. We visited several of the iconic locations and discovered some neat new vantage points and locations as well. After waking again at 2:00am and […]

Cheap Gas. It never ends ... And Aperture Choice.

My alarm was set for 2am on Friday morning. We left the hotel at 3:00am sharp. Conditions atop Steptoe Butte were quite different than anything I had ever experienced before. There were some clouds in the east, lots of big clouds on the ground, and the next thing that we knew, we were in […]

Do Not Hesitate Part II. And just so you know ...

My flights were fine. I met up with three of my six clients and we car-pooled down to Pullman. Everyone enjoyed the introductory program. We slept in (Palouse style) and did not leave the hotel until 6:00am! What a luxury. We did old cars and trucks followed by one of my favorite red barns […]

Gatorland was great all weekend. The place is infested by just-fledged and almost-fledged young Tricolored Herons along with lots of Snowy and Cattle Egrets at these same stages. And there are still some small and even tiny chicks around. Stokes and Pat and I had a ton of fun on Sunday morning. Via e-mail […]
