I had a comment about the black and white conversions that I posted Saturday. So, I thought, what the heck. Let’s post the B&W and the color versions side by side and see what we think. I still like the B&W better, myself. When converting from the color to the B&W I did make […]
I noted in an earlier post, that i was disappointed at my Letchworth State Park shoot on Friday, that there wasn’t more snow in the trees. It also occurred to me that there was another problem with my image this time around but I couldn’t figure out what it was until I saw an 11-year-old […]
Let me start out by thanking Mike Carney, Joe Granita and all the folks of the Genesee Valley Photography Society for a wonderful evening, not to mention an enjoyable early winter morning shoot. I had the pleasure of being invited to discuss creativity and nature photography at the GVPS’ monthly meeting this past Thursday evening. […]
I’ve been attracted to and a member of Baltimore Woods dating way back into the 1980s when I had the privilege of helping the founder, John Weeks, look at the potential for a fund raising campaign. It was a time when “the Woods” was pretty much just John’s dream. The “Hand House,” today’s headquarters for […]
A lot of people are ready to put winter behind them, bemoaning our colder and, seemingly at least, snowier than usual winter. I don’t think anyone will argue that that pretty much defines February, at least. If for no other reason, I think this justifies looking forward to the upcoming Adirondack Streams and Waterfalls Photo Trek […]
Doodling. That’s how I would describe the few moments I spent playing with my iPhone camera, while stranded at the San Diego airport last earlier this week. Due to poor scheduling on my part, I ended up at the airport hours before my scheduled red-eye flight back to the east coast. Too early, as luck […]
How nice is this. One of the most picturesque locations in the Adirondack State Park, the Great Camp Sagamore in Raquette Lake, NY, arguably the heart of the Adirondacks, is featuring two of my workshops slated for this summer. The first, from July 26-31 and the second from September 20-25. These special photo retreats will […]
Yesterday, when I arrived home from my trip to San Diego and the NANPA Summit, I had to quickly print and frame A Winter Meander then drive it to the Image City Photography Gallery in Rochester to hang it in the gallery’s 2015 Peter’s Pick Show, whose opening reception is this Friday. That, for one image, in […]
At the NANPA Summit this week I had the opportunity to meet and speak with Paul Hassell, a young man who’s on fire with a new project that any nature photographer interested in opportunities to expand their knowledge of nature photography should find very interesting and may want to support. Paul’s project will bring the […]
The NANPA Summit in San Diego is over and it’s really been a ride with four full (and I mean really full) days of presentations by some of the top nature photographers not only in the country, but in the world. I can’t see how anyone is going home without being juiced. I use that […]
