24mm for Birds & Why a Light-toned Image Created in Soft Light Should Look Like Crap on the Rear LCDStuff Pretty much everything is sorted out for the upcoming sold-out UK Puffins and Gannets IPT. Our rental vehicles are all set as is our luggage transport truck. And the folks at the cottages are expecting us. Both denise and I are a lot more excited than we should be about getting back into the […] Stuff Today was mostly an off day but I did take an ice bath in the early afternoon. This blog post, which took me about 2 1/2 hours to assemble, is the 165th in a row. It was published just before 6:30am on Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Selling Your Used Photo Gear Through BIRDS […] Stuff On Saturday I began working on a huge backload of image files from various trips; I have never been so far behind as I am now…. It is a huge job but somebody has to do it. As soon as I finish this blog post I will be on the phone to the UK […] Stuff On Saturday I answered more than 100 e-mails. I sent an e-mail to the UK Puffins and Gannets IPT group catching up on last minute travel details and admitting a mistake as to our meeting time at the airport on Monday, June 30th. For some reason I thought that Denise and I landed at […] Stuff Friday was a relaxing day. I switched around some of my Alaska flights due to a change in travel plans. I finally, finally, finally, after a few Catch 22 nightmare scenarios, got things squared away with the National Trust memberships for the UK Puffins and Gannets IPT. Whew. Those who would like to join […] Stuff I finally got my 2014 tax info off to the accountant. And I am almost done with the National Trust Memberships for the UK Puffins and Gannets IPT. I thought that that ordeal was complete but I got an e-mail on Friday morning that my credit card did not go through so I need […] What’s Up? Almost finished my 2014 taxes; I should have them on the way to the accountant tomorrow. I enjoyed a late swim and then got right into my ice bath. And froze. Even though the pool is a warm 80 degrees it is more than 18 degrees cooler than the human body. The effects […] What’s Up? On Tuesday I made some prints for a friend, answered more than a few e-mails, and did about eight more critiques of participants’ images from the two Palouse IPTs. This blog post took about 15 minutes to prepare and was published at 5:00am early on the morning of Wednesday, June 17. […] What’s Up? First off, thanks a zillion to the folks who wished me a Happy Bird-day both here and especially on Facebook. I really felt the love. I worked very had yesterday but after the fact I am not sure what I accomplished. Did enjoy my core exercises, a lightning and thunder-shortened swim, and an […] What’s Up? I spent most of my birthday–thanks a stack to the huge number of folks who sent birthday wishes along either here or especially on Facebook–doing what I do most days when I am home: answered e-mails, worked on this blog post, worked on a few images, started another round of core exercises, and […] What’s Up? I spent all morning getting the information needed for the National Trust memberships together for the sold out UK Puffins and Gannets IPT; the task was finished just before lunch. Now I need to get the passes. That on Monday. I went to granddaughter Maya’s dance recital in the afternoon and created […] What’s Up? My first night home I slept eight hours with five pit stops. After my first ice bath in more than two weeks on Thursday, I slept seven hours with no pit stops. The power of the ice baths is amazing. No swim on Friday, just an ice bath. When I finish this blog […] What’s Up? Somewhat surprisingly, I lost 3 pounds on the Palouse trip. Go figure…. I slept eight hours last night until awakened by a vicious cramp in my left calf. It was good to get back into my routine: a swim and an ice bath. This blog post, which took me about 2 hours to […] Stuff My alarm was set for 3:00am on Wednesday morning. Denise and I left the hotel at 4:10am to make our flights, mine at 5:25am to Denver and then on to MCO, hers to SLC at 6:15m and then onto Newark. I slept off and on on both flights and I am sure that denise […] This HDR Art Vivid (+/- 3 stops)image was created on day 4 of the Palouse IPT with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens (at 14mm) and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III . ISO 300. Evaluative metering at zero yielded a base exposure of 1/2 second at f/20 in Av […] What’s Up? We photographed a wonderful old prairie home in the early morning; I made probably my favorite image of the trip. I will share it with you here soon. Then we photographed a barn that we had been searching for for a year. We made out trek to Palouse Falls State Park that Monday […] What’s Up? We had a great morning that began at denise’s tree. We followed that up with three great red barns. Then a quick coffee break. We finished the morning up with some mustard fields panos and two more great red barns. Then an indoor picnic-style deli lunch, Photoshop and image critiquing and sharing sessions. […] What’s Up The hip is feeling better each day, and my black and blue and yellow and purple bruise keeps getting larger. We had a great 2nd morning on the 2nd Palouse IPT at a dijon mustard field in bloom. Talk about a win-win situation, the participants learned from and were inspired by the two […] What’s Up My hip is feeling fine and my black and blue and yellow and purple bruise is getting larger by the hour. The 2nd Palouse IPT got off to a great start. This blog post, the 149th in a row, took about 1 1/4 hours to prepare. It was published just after midnight on […] Miracle Day in the Palouse Today was indeed a miracle day in the Palouse. We did not go photographing. We did not make a single image. We did no scouting. As I said, it was a miracle day. We have a meet and greet with the second Palouse IPT folks at 7:30 pm Thursday […] |
