Well,, the forecast is for Freezing rain,, not good for the power companies,, but,,, could be good for the photographers. If the ice starts to build up,, then I think I will have to get up early Sunday morning,, say,,,, Downtown,, with the ice on the xmas tree, and that amazing shine on the...

Darn,, I looked out my window last night, and noticed the full moon rising at what I consider the best time, right post sunset, so you still can get some background,, and the moon rising, and lined up with the right object. so I rushed out, but was a bit late by say 10 minutes! earth moves...

what happened to the Home page!,, I like the old look, where on one page, you could see the new forum and blog pages without having to go into the page, anyhow.. I encourage on your slow photo days, to go back and harvest,, often gems are skipped, or a picture that did not strike your fancy...

Always amazed me how long some of the inventory lasts, like the D90 was sold a long time past its production runs, now its the D7000 camera, long replaced with the 7100,, and the final fire sales are occurring this week. See it on Amazon for 699 dollars, a real real bargain. I really like the...

one thing about photography is that it is a world wide following,, more of a uniting force, I notice on some of the other sites,, that the majority of people are not living in the US,, a very very strong group in Russia and other nations in that area, and really from all all over,, which I...

Mid week,, think I'll go drop off a print,, it was interesting,, when I looked at the first print,, some issues existed because of the crop from the original,, so,, I created a layer,, used oil paint, and merged with about a blend of 20% and it was just enough to smooth, and elimiate the noise...

Moon shots,, why take them? because its there? the moon fascinates? Of all the over shot shots, maybe the moon ranks close to number 1? now does that mean we should not take it? heck not,, of course we should,, Its there.. and besides,, its a great skill learning tool,, tripod mode...

snow snow snow,, its coming and for more than just the North,, Sounds like an opportunity for folks that don't usually see the stuff to get out,, and take some shots they might not normally get, and also ice,, but be careful,, don't risk driving in dangerous conditions! not worth the risk...

last night it was quite windy,, but I wanted to take a night photo of the xmas street in town, so,, set the ISO all the way up to ISO 2000, and was able to use around 1/50th a second, fast enough to capture the tree in detail,, This is with the D800 with te 36 million pixlel.. And frankly, I...

Lugged my camera today and it stayed in the bag the whole hike,, happens sometimes, but the camera was there if needed.. I learned that better to have it most of the time,, because I can't even tell you the number of photos I have missed for leaving the camera behind, ​so,, next...

sometimes its fun to combine shots for fantasy images,, so for example I was at the air plane museum,, so, I took this shot and then put it into a landscape shot just a bit of fantasy, and fun,, and I think the real plane works better than trying to use models.. of curse,, some are...

been still playing with that 500px site,, such a popularity site,, the window for a picture to take offf is really short, so,, might be a good picture,, but if it does not grab in say the first 10 minutes,, which also lends itself to gaming the system,, like what time to post a picture...
