Polar bears with cubs, other Arctic stuff
My wife and I just returned from the "High Arctic" (we were above 81 degrees latitude--within 560 miles of the North Pole--at one point!). I've never taken many photos above water, so this was my first real effort, especially with big glass (500mm f/4 with 2X TC). We had some amazing animal encounters (32 polar bears,… -

Re: Finally got one I kind of like
I guess I should have put all this in one post, but oh well... The strobes and I have a very hot and cold relationship. I've never been completely happy with the colors you get with them, and what's worse is that there's about a half second recycle time. That means if there's a player coming up for a layup you'd better… -
Re: Cant upload AGAIN
Hey, I'm having the same problem, I try to upload and it stops with some error message. I'm not sure what dslreport you ment to do, I did the speed test.

Re: Got my first press pass
Gary, If you shot these in RAW, it could be as easy as increasing the white balance temp. I'm not usre about the colors in the stadium. The stands look pretty bluish in those pics. On both of these I brightened them 1/3-1/2 stop using a levels adj layer. I then used a warming filter (81) at about 40%. I then used Scott… -
Re: Sweet Dreams..Baby pic.
Thank you! By "warm" I assume you mean the colors, ! Not that he is in 2 hugely heavy blankets :D I did an add filter 81 (Eddie had suggested this in a previous photo)...maybe it was warm enough without it. Any suggestions on this shot? Is it good, medium, great? I have NO lighting equipment. I only have an on body flash… -
Re: Kyrgyzstan
Thanks! And yes, it's often cold. Winter is loooonnnggg in most of the country. More photos.... Here are a few photos from Talas, the smallest and 2nd-least visited region of Kyrgyzstan by tourists.

CNAME, cpanel, and hostname problems - HELP!
I recently changed to a new webhost and have been trying to reconfigure my custom hostname. Previously, I was able to use gallery.swintonphoto.com without difficulty. I asked my new host to set up the CNAME as described in the help documents but it was only working with www.gallery.swintonphoto.com, not without the "www".… -
SOLD: New 24-70L f/2.8 from B&H (US)
I bought this lens in anticipation of our 3rd girl's birth on Dec. 27th, and love the lens. However, due to unforeseen circumstances where our little one was in the NICU for 8 days, I now have some bills I have to cover, and I would rather not get out of the hobby entirely. So I decided I should sell the 24-70 and… -
San Francisco 49ers Training Camp
I was able to get training camp tickets and offered to bring some dgrinners, but no one took me up on the offer. Due to work issues, I was only there about 20 mintues. Football and shooting outside in general are foreign concepts to me. I'm used to shootiing ice hockey -- fast action, but in a dark cave through a scratched…
