Greetings
Ooh. Fall color time. I recently made a quick trip to
the Mt. Baker area here in Washington State. Red
Huckleberry leaves, orange Mountain Ash, yellow
willows. Wow.
Next week I'll be in Vermont leading a workshop with
David Middleton. Last year it rained. And rained. And
then rained some more. The one time it didn't rain we
managed to get some decent shots. It was so nice
at the time that David opened his sunroof. Then it
rained some more. Just a minor detail, which I
discovered as I sat in the rainsoaked passenger seat.
Hopefully the weather will be better this year.

Notes from the Field |
|
|
|
|
Want a good laugh and a thought provoking read?
Who doesn’t! My friend David Middleton has
revamped his website (actually, someone else did it,
David’s not that technically savvy) and some of
his “Notes From the Field” essays are posted there.
You may have read them elsewhere before, but
they’re always worth revisiting. If you’ve never read
any of them, then do yourself a favor and click on
over.

Last I heard from Jay at Triple “D”, one spot has
opened up for the Jan. 19-22 Winter Special
workshop that I’m leading. If you were thinking of
expanding your portfolio with winter wildlife shots,
this could be your chance. Give Triple “D” a call at

Imagenomic Noiseware Plug-in |
|
|
|
|
At a recent workshop, one of the participants gave
us
a demo of a great noise reduction plug-in he’s been
using. Imagenomic Noiseware is easy to use, wipes
out noise, and does a very good job of preserving
detail.
Images shot at ISO 1600, normally full of noise,
looked amazing after running the plug-in. I was so
impressed that I downloaded and bought the
Professional Plug-in version.
Head on over to the Imagenomic site for more
information. And thanks to Bruce Clifton of Northwest
Pixel Printers for demonstrating this great utility.

This April 15-17, Don Mammoser and I will be leading
a wildlife photography workshop at one of the
Triple “D” Utah Special sessions. Cougar, wolves, and
bear in red rock, what could be better? There will
also be an opportunity to photograph raptors on
the18th at an additional cost.
This workshop will be based out of Hurricane, UT. We
haven’t set a price yet but should have that
information posted by the end of this week.

Happy Birthday to Bailey |
|
|
|
|
Yes, our little dog Bailey turned 1 year old on Sept.
15th. I feel bad about it though. Both my wife and I
were out of town and Bailey had to spend the
momentous occasion with my dad. Good thing she's a
dog and doesn't really care.
That's all for now. Have a great October
