The 700 Club
This post makes it officially 700 thoughts and musings on the blog. At an average of 250 posts per year (since I don’t normally post on weekends and occasional “no blog” days), that means we are closing in on the end of three full years of blogging! To the readers who have been there with me since the beginning, I’d like to say thanks for all your patience as I’ve walked through several fires of growing pains. I’ve come to the realization that the more you write, the greater the chance you have to sound like either a fool, or … Continue reading
Photo Montage Tuesday
Normally, I start the week with either a hardware review, a software review, or something along those lines, but there’s a couple things that have bumped the traditional schedule. So, check these tidbits out to start the week: First off, Scott Kelby has announced the 3rd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk! It’s a pretty big deal now as there are some major sponsors that contribute prizes to this, and it’s just a super cool time. There are usually a couple that start up for the Denver area, and if you’ll be around, let me know and I can post which group … Continue reading
RMNP – The Outtakes
As you may recall, the photo walk group for Denver made another sunrise attempt at RMNP at Bear and Sprauge lake last weekend. Since the sunrise wasn’t what we’d hoped (the weather doesn’t always cooperate in landscape photography), we journeyed on, and stopped at a really nice place for panos. While we were milling around, I did capture a few of the crew and some actually held some promise. Here are a few of the “RMNP Outtakes”: Call me crazy, but I thought the outtakes were rather fun, and the last one for some reason is very compelling for me….what … Continue reading
Early to bed, Early to Rise
Makes for a great opportunity to shoot sunrises in Rocky Mountain National Park! And that’s where the Denver Photo Walk Meetup group is headed again tomorrow. You’ve seen the video here on the blog for a few months now and for those of you that have watched it, you know the light wasn’t as good as we had hoped. Tomorrow morning, we’re hoping for a different set of lighting conditions. About 14 of us have made the commitment (so we’re committed!), so it should be a pretty good sized group. Sunrise is predicted for around 6am, which means about a … Continue reading
Walk, listen, and ask…
Lame blog post title segue alert – too late! This week’s podcast is completed and available from the always generous hosting of the folks over at Personal Life Media, and over on iTunes, so download from your favorite option and enjoy! Here’s the show notes: I give a roundup review of the Scott Kelby Worldwide photowalk, along with a more detailed back story on the Canon Confession, which was outed yesterday here on the blog. Rich Charpentier of The Airstream Chronicles also stops in for a really great interview with me – we probably could have talked for quite a … Continue reading
Fifteen Freebies for Photowalking Fun
On the eve of the 2nd Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk, it seems appropriate to include a checklist of things you should be doing today and tonight (if you’ve not done them already). I’d done a post like this before so this is somewhat repetitive but since it’s been a year, probably the content could use a little of a dusting. So, here’s my photo walk checklist Round Two! Charge your batteries, and the spares! Clean your lenses, wipe them down and use lens cleaner to get everything spiffy. Decide what items you will be taking with you and what … Continue reading
49 Photo Tips Cheat Sheet
Ok, so this week the schedule is all off kilter, since there was no hardware review and no software review today, so I give up on that. Instead, today I am sharing (on request) a PDF that I have been been busy compiling of my favorites and some unusual ideas for photography. Ranging in subject matter from how to improve your composition to gear tips, making money, photo walks, and everything in between, here are 49 Photo Tips – all compiled nice, neat and easy as a PDF for easy download and reference (top 50 lists are so cliche! )! … Continue reading
Photo walks, news, and a visit from Scott Kelby
So, as many of you know, Scott Kelby, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), Kelby Media Group, Kelby Training Live, and leader of the pack of Photoshop guys over at Photoshop User TV, was in Denver yesterday on his Adobe Photoshop Lightroom tour. He led a seminar yesterday that, despite several technical difficulties, was pretty rockin’ when it comes to establishing a work flow in Lightroom. Scott is also known for his annual worldwide photo walks that he started last year. This year response has just been enormous to the walks, with several cities (including Denver) filling … Continue reading
What do Photo walks and software cycles have in common?
Tune in to this week’s episode of the Canon Blogger Podcast Series, Episode #58, from either the blog or your feed readers today! I also tackle a few listener questions, and offer up a photo road tip for the listening audience. So, pick up the feed today, or stop in to the blog to not only download the show, but also to see the other content that isn’t in the daily feeds (things like the Online Photography Test, Colors and Textures Galleries, polls and more! As I tinker a little with the audio quality of the show and try to … Continue reading
Denver Area Photowalk
As some of you may recall, Scott Kelby held a worldwide photo walk a few months ago to promote his new book that was coming out on Lightroom 2. Well, since then several smaller photo walk clubs and groups have formed and begun their own outings. Denver was no exception and our first official photo walk this last weekend had a really good turnout of roughly 15-20 people. About half of us even got together afterward at a local eatery to share stories and get to know one another better. Everyone is posting shots over on the Meetup site and … Continue reading
