What’s Up?<\/h3>\n

By the time the game began, I realized that I wanted the Chiefs to win. With just over 7 minutes left in the game Kansas City’s chance of winning was 4%. I had just about given up hope when the Mahomes’ magic began. The final score of Chiefs: 31, 49ers: 20 did not indicate that San Francisco outplayed KC for much of the game. Patrick Mahomes was named MVP of the Super Bowl LIV and I went to bed happy. <\/p>\n

The pool was up to a balmy 71 degrees on Sunday afternoon for my slow 50-length swim; 88 lengths to the mile. On Monday morning steam was rising from the pool as the sun came up. This afternoon’s swim will be a very cold one …<\/p>\n

Coming Soon<\/h3>\n

We will be releasing a one hour, sixteen-minute screen capture video in Wednesday’s blog post. Watch me pick my keepers from an almost 800-image folder entitled San Diego II. Learn what makes one image better than a very similar one. Learn the minutiae of head and light angles, compositional fine points including the importance of adding diagonal lines to your images, more on wing positions and flight poses, my image optimization plans for many images, and tons more. With today’s digital camera bodies offering superb AF accuracy, fast frame rates, and often ridiculously large image files, learning to edit (pick your keepers) tightly is an important skill to develop. <\/p>\n

I attended this IPT in 2011 and can only say it was the most intensive bird photography I have ever experienced. My arms were tired and sore from shooting so many action photos. It is highly recommended! I called Jim today and signed up for a reprise.<\/em> Greg<\/p>\n

I attended the Homer IPT in the past and can only say it was a great experience. Many eagles, beautiful scenery, great instruction, and many fond memories. Don\u2019t miss it.<\/em> <\/p>\n
