Where did 2017 go anyway? Wasn’t it just the other day that we were wishing each other a happy and prosperous 2017? That probably means I’m late in trying to get a handle of the coming new year. So, I hope you’ll forgive me and at the same time maybe be grateful for a quick […]
This past Saturday was a full day of photography. And, to my way of thinking, a wonderful day all around as an enthusiastic group of photographers gathered in the Baltimore Woods program room to prepare for winter photography and begin to expore some macro and close-up photography. By all accounts it proved to be an […]
It’s only 11 days until we get together for a up-close and personal experience. At least that’s one way of describing the second half of our day-long workshop at Baltimore Woods, Saturday, November 18.

Well, couple the two thoughts and you’ll get some idea of what to expect from the best nature photography workshops available today. I think it’s fair to say that […]
Why the snow in your image is gray? What to do because your batteries die so quickly when enjoying winter photography? How to find hidden beauty in odds and ends around the house or maybe that bouqet flowers you picked-up at the grocery store? Ever wonder how you can enjoy photography this winter . . […]
I know . . . I know. Most of us aren’t finished with autumn photography yet. And, some of us wish we could get a do-over with summer. Still, winter is fast approaching as this morning’s light frost reminded us. Personally, I think winter is a great time for photography, especially in Upstate New York […]
