This time of year, you can always count on some being late, having a nest failure and renesting, something making them think about sex and not photographers. I had that 600VR over my ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/it-wasnt-along-for-looks/ [swf]http://www.moosenewsblog.com/swf_imgs/_BMP8965.swf, 500, 402 [/swf] So there we are on day three of our PT and we're heading to the mecca of landscape photography, the Tufas of Mono Lake. In the last 30yrs, you could say I've been to the shoreline a couple of times. As we got our gear out at ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/best-laid-plans/ [swf]http://www.moosenewsblog.com/swf_imgs/_BMP8946.swf, 396, 600 [/swf] I don't know that these plants are called (don't really care though) but I love what they do with light. The funny thing is, I thought I would be going B&W with this but when I looked at it further, I decided the shades of green were ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/then-there-were-these/ [swf]http://www.moosenewsblog.com/swf_imgs/_BMP8869.swf, 500, 402 [/swf] The clock is pushing me hard this week. Still working with our PT on landscape photography. Headed up to a 9000' to Lake George and the quite one can find up there. There wasn't a whisper of wind so the reflections stretched on and on. We lucked ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/ah-the-peace/ [swf]http://www.moosenewsblog.com/swf_imgs/_BMP8474.swf, 500, 402 [/swf] I'm in the office for the week, pounding the keys to get writing projects done. While I'm not "outside" shooting, the activity out the window is picking up. Nesting is at its height and the adults are taking full advantage of the free food. They pay by ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/from-the-office/ [swf]http://www.moosenewsblog.com/swf_imgs/WGAS1.swf, 500, 402 [/swf] I finally received the WG-AS1 (Water Guard - Accessory Shoe 1) for the Sb-900 & D3. My man Jeff Snyder snagged me 3, 2 in place and 1 spare. I'm heading off to AK and I know it's going to rain so I thought since Nikon thought ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/nikon-wg-as1/ [swf]http://www.moosenewsblog.com/swf_imgs/_BMP8667.swf, 500, 402 [/swf] The art of the landscape, that's the mission with the multiple day PT we're conducting right now. My mission today kinda made me think of this video.The challenge is to help a new landscape photographer see the landscape, feel the landscape, so you can through his images.

We're going to where this photograph of a Crested Caracara was taken, on the border in Texas. This very special event is like no other Base Camp we've ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/06/texas-bird-base-camp-10/ I'm always fascinated to see how things are made, so much to be learned in watching. My grandfather was a tailor, passed that onto my dad and then it came my way. While I'm not that good, I can drive a sewing machine. Take a gander at this, you'll know ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/06/i-dig-this-kinda-stuff/ Joe McNally, in my mind, that name means the impossible photo, DONE! I was very fortunate to just talk to Joe on the phone a number of times during the shooting of his latest Nat'l G piece which is now on newstands. He's stories of all the fun he shares ... http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/06/he-just-amazes-me/
