Next week, Jan. 11-14 to be exact, I'll be leading a
small workshop at the Triple D Game Farm in
Kalispell, Montana. This workshop is limited to ten
and Jay Deist, the owner of Triple D, tells me that he
has a couple spots left. The cost is $1050 per person.
North American mammals in full winter coats make for some of the best wildlife photography you'll ever find. If you're interested in joining us, call Jay at 406-755- 9653. Be sure to tell him I sent you. |

Just wanted to let you know that David Middleton
and I have
settled on a date for our Fall Color Field
Workshop/Photo Tour: Oct. 11-15, 2006, based out
of Manchester, VT. This year, we'll also be joined by
our friend, Maida Candler.
More details are coming and as soon as I get them posted I'll let you know (technical difficulties at the moment, you understand). But I wanted to get this out in case there are those of you who want to make hotel reservations. I'll be working on a hotel list that will get posted as well. In the mean time, click on the link below for a starter list. |

Last month I mentioned The DAM Book by Peter
Krogh,
a book on Digital Asset Management. As a result of
what I've learned so far, I've already changed the
way I do some things. I've yet to finish the book but
I've certainly read enough to highly recommend it.
One great thing about this book is the web support that goes along with it. Peter has an entire website and forum devoted to Digital Asset Management where you can explore parts of the book, ask questions, follow informative links, and download useful software. |

I'm sure most of you have heard this before, but for
those who haven't, here's an important exposure tip
for photographing in the snow. First of all, your
camera's meter wants to make everything look like
it's a medium gray. Whether your subject is black or
white, the camera is assuming that it's an average
gray (your camera doesn't know any better) and if
you let it do what it wants (like when you use
Program
mode), you're likely to get back dull gray pictures
from
your recent snowshoe trip.
The trick is to intentionally over expose. In essence, you're telling the camera that your photographing something white, not something gray, and to keep its suggestions to itself. (you sometimes just have to put your camera in its place!). For snowy scenes, over expose by about a stop and a half. |

Ok, that's enough for now. For those of you
interested, Bailey the labradoodle is doing just fine
and growing about as fast as the weeds she likes to
eat. The weather's been too lousy to get out and
get some action shots of her. But never fear, you'll
be seeing some, whether you want to or not!
