  • If you are in the Conn. area, you have an opportunity to either spend a day shooting with Dr. Jason P. Odell or attend a NX2 workshop the following day. The events are sponsored by Milford Photo and and are happening this weekend.  You can contact Jess at 203-882-6299 for registration info.
  • PSW Las Vegas is this week/weekend you can keep track of events over at PSW 2010
  • Interesting workflow for sky/clouds posted in comments section for recent NX2 blog by Marcus… I’ve been working on his instructions and like the results do far
  • Don’t know about others experiences yet, but NX2 v2.2.5 still crashes, not as often but it does go down, so saving file after each action is important

  • Had some fun yesterday, was up at 4 and headed to Berkshires for sunrise action
  • Then from 6-11 pm, climbed up Bear Mountain for some sun/moon set action
  • Today I noticed how slow opening up the site was
  • Pingdom.com   speed was 18sec
  • Discovered that my 950X750 pixel images were not set thru CS5 Web device filters
  • Also loaded up a new plugin W3 catch which also helped
  • My Pingdom scores are between 8 – 9.5 sec … which is a decent speed
  • Check out your load speeds over at Pingdome.com, it sb ~ 10sec
  • Adobe ACR 6.2 is available for download from the Adobe Labs website.

  • For me, it has always been about the image, but how to present that Image so the viewer can  feel like you are there ?
  • The Home page Images found on most sites are usually small pics and found in a revolving gallery of some sort, no detail,very isolated,…
  • Or the Home page images are huge, but you can’t read the sites blog or page content, because the Images are to high on the screen, hoarding all the space
  • It perplexed me that what was needed, was a hybrid..I searched hi and low for three weeks, and then another four weeks in theme redesign.
  • Today you have the ability to read the posts, look at a feature gallery, and now….
  • (Because the Image is everything)

  • Click on your image choice in the feature galley and join me as we look at the wonderment of Travel and Outdoor Digital Images……..

  • (thanks for the motivation and inspiration Moose and Prez for the therapy and old school knowledge)
  • Check out some 1995 Tyson photo’s from Jeff Snyder, (Adorama rep) and shooter

  • If you have the time, go see one of the only flying 1917 Curtiss Jenney here in Upstate NY.
  • The new site, had an ugly auto resize feature, which was throwing of the Image perspective, so I had to learn Deamweaver and MAMP and get this site back up. I’m beginning to think Prez is right, go back to film. It has been a painful 30 days.
  • The summer is here, lots to do and places to go and I’m looking forward to getting past the lost 30 days.
  • However, I recalled Moose telling us that he spent weeks in isolation getting his paper and printing, just right, that’s the problem with us perfectionist….we don’t cut corners…
