Journey to the United Kingdom and France
My most recent travels took my wife and I to the United Kingdom and France. This particular trip had been long anticipated, so there had been plenty of time for planning.

Week in St. Croix
Bob decided he'd rather stay in one place for a week rather than go to a different place every night on a ship. So I booked us for a week in St. Croix where we have only been once for a day (on a cruise). We stayed the night before the flight at the Hampton Inn (where we could also leave the car for $5/night). We went to… -
Making a FAST card reader for less! (compact flash)
I get excited about this stuff and I must share.

PS LAB Color, Chapter 16 -- Recipe for portraits
This chapter presents a recipe for portraits which Dan claims drastically improves their belivability. The recipe is easy to learn but it has a few decision points which I've found difficult to master. I've been practicing it for a few months now and also practiced in Dan's class. Now I'm getting consistently improved… -

This who trip was planned around a fundraiser for a rock climber named Tom Gilje who had an accident mountain biking and broke his neck. Now to the TR.

Re: Lightbox slow - anyone else or just me?
First, this morning (1/29) as I write this, performance is decent. Not good, not normal, but 2-4 seconds for a large image to come up, and no failures. I will try to do it again if it gets worse.

Re: SF2 Unofficial Feedback Thread
Feedback I thought I'd go over the images, too #2 - Sherstone - When the Day Ends Nice quiet evening shot. Love the colors and serenity. Horizon is in a dead center. Sun "stars" are too obviously PS-ed in and rather large to ignore. #3 - Greensquared - Carribbean Amphibian Great colors. Nice composition. Love the tilt.… -
