Stormy Sunset
The power of the editing tools that are available is truly amazing! I’m still learning how to do it and make things look “right”. Of course, “right” is often a matter of opinion. I fall somewhere in between the diehard “Make-it-look-just-the-way-you-saw-it” approach and the... Read More »

Sorry, I didn’t notice some lens flaring when I processed Jonathan’s photo the first time. Read More »

Actually, I really like that composition. The tongue gives it a interesting kick that draws interest. Good shot. The editing was done with the purpose in mind of keeping him from looking like he lived in a algae covered jungle, and moving him to a cold mountain. Read More »

Could you have gotten any closer to the fence to shoot between the links? Here is the image with heavy editing. The most important thing was the WB adjustment. I do like the composition though! Read More »

That was embarassing. I put the half-edited photo on by mistake. Here’s the real thing: Read More »
Snow Leopard (in a zoo)
I took this through a fence, zoomed all the way in. Any thoughts? Read More »

@HeldInHisArms Yes, the glowing was caused by a editing technique. I’m not sure if that would be a problem if it were used for a stock photo. Read More »

Yep, the card that I can get 60 MB/s read speed, is actually rated at 90 MB/s! I suspect that the bottleneck in my case is the card reader. I only have a built in card reader, and I don’t even have a USB 3.0 port, so I can’t test my USB 3.0 card reader… If you’re in the market for a good SD... Read More »

If your computer is a nice one, I wouldn’t fault that. I have a HP laptop too. As @buddingphotographer said, you likely need a faster card. I use the SanDisk Extreme Plus 16 GB card and it works way faster than the other standard cards I used. It can also take photos in continuous mode @ a blazing speed even... Read More »

If your computer has a USB 3.0 port, you could try using that to (hopefully) get better speeds. You’ll really get better speeds if you’ve got a USB 3.0 card reader as well. But all of that won’t help if you have a slow card. I have several SD cards, and their speeds range from 10-60 MB/s (with my... Read More »

I like the horizontal composition myself! I’m not a huge fan of vertical compositions, so that’s probably the main reason… 🙂 I also like the contrast between the orange of the sunrise, and the blue sky up higher. Read More »
Finding the Perfect Redwoods Picture
When I arrived in Sacramento yesterday for the Family Conference ACTION Photography Team here this week, it started bringing back memories of the last time I was in California . . . Have you ever seen a picture of some place you wished you could go? Well, where the great redwood trees grow is a place I always wished... Read More »

Thanks for all the input! Here’s another shot I took that morning. I didn’t really like the composition real well because it seems like the flowers are too high. I wish I would have raised my camera a little higher to make the flowers lower in the frame. Read More »
