The Streak Continues: 361<\/h3>\n

Denise and I finished up Day 2 of our Bosque Creative IPT at the crane pools with a decent sunset and lots of very good silhouette opportunities. At Bosque even the clear sunsets can be great if you know where to be. We went out of the box in the pre-dawn foregoing the traditional strategies to go for cranes in orange as detailed in my Bosque Site Guide. <\/p>\n

Coming soon: a free Bosque Site Guide update for all: The State of the Bosque…. Today’s blog post, the 361st in a row, took 4 hours to assemble (including the time for the DPP 4 RAW conversions and the image optimizations) and was published from my hotel room in Socorro, NM at 4:21am. We will be enjoying a busman’s holiday until we meet the 4-Day Bosque IPT on Saturday afternoon. <\/p>\n

Bosque 2015<\/h3>\n

Denise and I will again be collaborating on two Bosque IPTs in 2015, one before Thanksgiving and one after. Dates and rates will be announced here soon. If you would like to receive early notice, please shoot me an e-mail<\/a> with the words “Bosque 2015” in the Subject Line. <\/p>\n
