Rod Barbee Photography Newsletter
Volume 11
|
| |
Greetings
Sorry this is so late this month. I do have a couple of
good
excuses though.
The first week or so of the month I was in Zion with
a great group of folks photographing the red rock and
the fall color. The weather was great and so were
the photo opportunities.
I'll keep this newsletter short and aim for
something more thorough next month.

A new family member |

I mentioned I had a couple of excuses for the
tardiness of this newsletter. The other excuse is that
my wife Tracy and I have made a significant addition
to our family.
Our little bundle of joy arrived on Friday, November
11 at about 12:30 pm weighing in at 4 lbs. 13 oz. Her
name is Bailey and she's a Labradoodle. (I know, a
silly name for a breed). What's a labradoodle you
ask? A cross between a lab and a poodle. They don't
shed, they are very friendly, and they're very smart.
My guess is that she'll be using my D100 before too
long.

Digital wide angles |
|
|
|
|
Those of you using a Digital SLR that does not have
a full frame sensor know that your wide angle lens
behaves more like a normal lens. I know that this has
been a source of frustration for me. But that's about
to change.
I just ordered Tokina's 12-24mm lens and it should
arrive by the end of the week. This lens has been
getting some great reviews and considering it's about
half the price of the Nikon 12-24, it looks to be a
great deal. I'll let you know what I think of it after I
put it to some use.

Workshop additions |
|
|
|
|
Don Mammoser and I have scheduled a couple of
workshops for next year: Slot Canyons/Monument
Valley, April 10-15, and Canadian Rockies, Sept. 17-
22. We're still working on finalizing logistics and costs
and I should have that info on my website by the
end of the month.
The Canadian Rockies were absolutely spectacular
this last September and we're looking forward to
another great experience next year.
The slot canyons and Monument Valley are a couple
of "must see" SW locations and this should be a
great trip. Keep checking the "Workshops" page of
my website for the latest info. I'll also be putting out
a
special newsletter once we get things worked out.

That's all for now. I have a puppy to play with,don't
you
know, and that's a lot more fun than sitting in front
of the computer!
