The Grand Canyon - North Rim and Toroweap
I was lucky enough to make two motorcycle/photographic expeditions to The Grand Canyon this summer. Once with my 10 year old son and again with a fellow motorcyclist/photographer. The trips were 5 days each. I'm just an amatuer photographer who started really trying to learn only 2 years ago with my first DSLR. I have… -
Pacific Coast Autumn 2012 - warning: image heavy
I took two different trips in late 2012 that allowed me to drive up and down the west coast. I stayed on 101 as much as possible, and my first stop was in the coastal Redwoods. 1. 2. 3. 4. My first walk on the beach was more about rain and fog than ocean. 5. 6. But as I moved up into Oregon the weather turned delightful.… -

Re: Review: scanmyphotos.com
Update: I got my photos back, and a little drama to go with it. You'll have to decide for yourself, as I have mixed feelings about it. First, the good: Speedy, low-cost service. I got 2,192 images scanned for $253. I got the pre-paid box for $125, added $100 for the automagic color correction, $10 for signature delivery,… -
Re: Call of the North
Call of the North (11): Whales, birds and Blue Lagoons July 22nd They say that in Iceland whale watching and whale hunting vessels anchor next to each other in the ports. We tried to identify them, couldn't though. Whale hunting is a hot topic in Iceland, highly political and emotional. Together with Norway (don't know the… -
Re: >>> 2.3 (Feathered or Scaled): Critique/Discussion Thread
Critique of Page 4 Entries #31 POV and 5' Apart (shatch) - Now that is one heck of an illusion! Love the shot. Not sure how to improve it, except that maybe more features in the clouds would add just a touch more drama to it. The wife just strolled by, locked eyes on it and said 'That's so cool!' :) #32 Zoom (El Ess Vee) -… -
Re: LPS20 - Unofficial Feedback Thread
Back for more! 31: In the first two second after looking at this, the dominant subject is the sparks and the action that caused them, not at all the hands. It’s very hard to take an image that hasn’t been done before, but a shot very similar to this was part of one of the previous LPS Rounds, “explosive” I believe. Anyway,… -
Re: My Recent European Trip to Paris, Florence, Rome and Barcelona! *TONS OF PICS*
From Rome, it was a quick hour and a half flight over to Barcelona, and a 45 minute bus ride into town. Barcelona was strikingly different after being in the craziness of Rome. The city was much more modern and refined, with smoothly paved streets with central biking lanes. Everyone as a whole looked much more fit and the… -
DIY Flash Diffusion Panel
Seeing that most of the time I'm shooting without assistance, I built a couple of couple of standalone diffussion panels. Granted, I probably could have purchased a light stand, panel holder, and panels but where's the fun in that? So here is what I decided that I needed in a setup... 1. Versatile - I must be able to… -
Re: Mini Challenge #349: Wildlife "Safari"
Great theme Gretchen! I have loads of wild Alaskan bears that I so enjoy photographing, however I will try and find a variety. My husband and I went on many adventures, covering of 38 different countries (some visited more than once, but not added to the count) in 10 years of traveling. Made for a perfect time for…
