Mac Help Needed<\/h3>\n

Arash sent me the updated DPP 4 Guide with the sharpness and noise reduction tables updates for the 7D II. When I click on he PDF I get the error message above. Arash is also on a Mac so the problem makes no sense to me :). <\/p>\n

Any and all help would be appreciated. I need to make sure that Jim has the updated version at the home office before I make a formal announcement. <\/p>\n

The Streak Continues: 358<\/h3>\n

We had another wonderful Festival of the Cranes Workshop group and everyone learned a ton; Denise and I rocked ’em again . We enjoyed some pretty good photography especially with the pre-dawn blast of about 20,000 geese in one fell swoop. Denise and I headed back to the refuge early and enjoyed some good goose action and a lovely crane pool sunset. <\/p>\n

Coming soon: a free Bosque Site Guide update for all: The State of the Bosque…. Today’s blog post, the 358th in a row, took 1 1\/2 hours to assemble and was published from my hotel room in Socorro, NM at 3:34am. Tomorrow, with an Armageddon-like forecast, is our fourth and last early morning photography Festival workshop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is still not too late to Get Out of Your Box!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Creative Bosque IPT is perfect for folks who want to learn to think outside the box, to create new and different images. This workshop is the perfect add-on for folks who attended the Festival of the Cranes. Learn to unleash your creative juices at the wondrous Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in San Antonio, New Mexico with two great leaders including the amazingly talented and creative Denise Ippolito. In-the-field instruction will include tips on gear set-up, on creating a variety of pleasing blurs, on getting the right exposure, and on designing pleasing images. And lots more. From vertical pan blurs to subject motion blurs to zoom blurs to multiple exposures we will cover it all. If conditions are perfect, we will not hesitate to take advantage of them to do some traditional bird photography. This workshop will include an inspirational introductory slide program on Sunday evening, 11\/23, after dinner on your own, two morning and two afternoon photography sessions, all lunches, a digital workflow and Photoshop session after lunch on Monday, and an image critiquing session after lunch on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

At this late hour, the only way to to sign up is to either find us on the refuge or get in touch via e-mail<\/a><\/center>. <\/p>\n
