What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

I am proud to share with you today some wonderful photographs and a truly wonderful story. <\/p>\n

I began working on the Nikon D850 Camera User’s Guide yesterday. <\/p>\n

It finally rained here on Saturday afternoon. Morning photography has not been great larely and yesterday light winds from the west in the morning (wind against sun) were not helpful. The forecast for this morning, Sunday June 2, 2019, is the same. But I will head down to the lake after breakfast anyway. <\/p>\n

Huge Late-registration UK Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites Instructional Photo-Tour Discount Increased! <\/h3>\n

The late-registration discount has been increased to $3,500.00. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

In an effort to fill a single remaining slot, I have increased the the late-registration discount for this great IPT from $3,000 to $3500. See the listing on the IOT page here<\/a> or e-mail<\/a> for additional information. <\/p>\n

FlexShooter Pro Updates<\/h3>\n

All previously back-ordered FlexShooter Pro heads have been shipped thanks again to those who trusted us and ordered by phone. The FlexShooter Pro is now in stock here<\/a> in the BIRDS AS ART Online Store<\/a>. We have the correct BigFoot plate available for all lenses but for the Nikon 600mm f\/4 VR lens. Please place a phone order if you would like the plate to go with your new FlexShooter Pro head; they should be in the store by next week. <\/p>\n

As most of you know, I am now using it for 100% of my tripod-mounted photogtraphy. See here<\/a> and here<\/a> to learn more. Or see the video here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The other day I got my hands on the prototype for the new FLN-60 Bigfoot for the Nikon 600 VR. It is long enough to balance the 600 alone with any Nikon camera body and the best news is that the Wimberley F-1 Flash Bracket<\/a> fits perfectly and mounts easily. I will post a photo here soon. We will have them in stock in about three weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Capture One Pro-12 Simplified Video<\/h3>\n

$15.00 via electronic download<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When I first heard about doing RAW conversions in Capture One Pro 12<\/a> I purchased the somewhat pricey program and tried to figure it out on my own. I was totally lost. So I did some reading online and was still very confused. Then I consulted Arash Hazeghi’s comprehenisve The Nikon Photographers\u2019 Guide to Phase One Capture One Pro e-Guide<\/a> and while Arash does a great job of covering the fine points, I still had some difficulty getting started. I thought Who needs Sessions and who wants to have to Import images?<\/em> So I consulted Patrick Sparkman, the BAA technical advisor. Patrick had been using C-1 Pro 12 for a while. We spent a good deal of time on FaceTime simplifying things. That video is a direct result of those conversations. <\/p>\n

You can purchase your copy in the BAA Online Store here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If you are new to Capture One Pro-12, please click here<\/a> to order. Understand that C-1 Pro 12 is expensive for good reason … Are your photos worth it? <\/p>\n

Here are some of the things you will learn in this 33+ minute video as we convert nine different RAW files (eight Nikon and one SONY) from soup to nuts, from Photo Mechanic through the RAW conversion in Capture One to Photoshop:<\/p>\n
