A Wonderful e-Mail<\/h3>\nFrom Multiple IPT Participant Greg Ferguson of Atlanta<\/strong><\/h2>\nArtie, I\u2019m writing to thank you for everything you did to make the Bosque IPT a photographic success. As Dizzy Dean said about his pitching performance \u201cIt\u2019s not bragging if you can do it\u201d, and you can say the same thing about your IPTs. On your recent IPT you certainly demonstrated that you can put your students in the right place at the right time for outstanding shooting opportunities. We were in perfect position to catch a snow geese blast-off silhouetted against the pre-dawn glow. After only about two minutes of continuous shooting you yelled \u201cWe have one minute before we leave for our next location.\u201d Warren Hatch and I started laughing because we thought you were kidding. Why leave when we were getting good shots? Well, much to our surprise, we left and found out why. At the next location we were much closer to the geese and got them blasting off directly toward us right over our heads.<\/p>\nSo you aren\u2019t bragging about getting people in the right position at the right time because you can do it. Thanks for the wonderful shooting opportunities and the personal care and attention from both you and Denise.<\/em> Greg<\/p>\n
What’s Up?<\/h3>\n
On Thursday I spent most of the day working on the LensAlign\/FocusTune Micro-adjusting e-Guide and getting some image files off my laptop. <\/p>\n
I recently shared an early draft of the new guide with Bill Hill who wrote via e-mail: <\/p>\n
Artie, Just a note as a progress report and thanks again. I got my 500 f4 back from Canon, a very good experience, and focus-tuned it with my 2x III converter. AWESOME. It came out to -3; I have never gotten such sharp images at 1000mm. Thanks to MT, AM and Canon! The info in your guide is essential to anyone who wants to use learn to use Focus Tune. <\/em> Bill<\/p>\nThe guide will likely be published no later than early September. Pricing will be as follows: for folks who purchases LensAlign\/FocusTune<\/a> through BIRDS AS ART and can provide proof of purchase in the form of a receipt from the BAA Online Store<\/a>, the price will be $40. For those who purchased elsewhere, the price will be $50.00. <\/p>\nBooking.Com<\/h3>\n
I could not secure the lodging that I needed for the UK Puffins and Gannets IPT in Dunbar, Scotland, so I went from Hotels.Com to Booking.Com and was pleasantly surprised. I found the rooms that I needed with ease at a hotel that was not even on Hotels.Com, and it was a nice hotel that I had seen in person. And the rates were great. If you’d like to give Booking.Com a shot, click here<\/a> and you will earn a $25 reward. <\/p>\nThe Streak<\/h3>\n
Today marks thirteen days in a row with a new educational blog post. This blog post took less than an hour to create. <\/p>\n
