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 […]
Day number one at the NANPA (North American Nature Photography Association) Summit in San Diego, CA is almost history and it’s already been worth the trip. While the weather is warmer than Central New York, cloudy and 64º, it’s definitely not living up to the title sunny southern California. But, what do I care? I’ve […]
I hate it when I hear the TV or radio weather forecaster focus our attention on cold weather like it’s the worst thing he or she could be telling us about. I especially find it irritating when they insist on referring to the so-called “feels like” temperature. That seems to be the big thing these […]
I almost didn’t take the short drive from my motel in Tupper Lake to the Bog River Falls this morning. Why? Because I’ve been there so often I almost succumbed to the “been there, done that” frame of mind. I only had less than an hour before a scheduled morning meeting, but I ended up having a […]
All we need is snow . . . we have a full house signed-up for tomorrow’s winter photography workshop at beautiful Baltimore Woods. It will be seasonably cold and hopefully we’ll see some seasonably appropriate fresh snow. By this time tomorrow we all should have some enjoyable winter images.
One of the newest benefits of NANPA, the North American Nature Photography Association, is coming up soon. The second webinar that NANPA will present is Painting with Filters with Bobbie Goodrich. Join Bobbie Goodrich, an award-winning fine art photographer, as she demonstrates her workflow to metamorphose an image from ordinary to extraordinary. Working in her favorite software […]
I was one who used to say “I want my image to be as close to complete as possible coming out of the camera.” After all, that’s what we expected back in the film days. Those 35mm transparencies couldn’t be changed once they arrived in their yellow boxes. Oh, maybe we could push the ISO […]
