So we woke up to about 5 or 6 inches of snow this
morning. This is one of the latest snowfalls that I can
remember. It’s just been a very different winter around
here.
Anyway, Faithful Puppy and I went for a nice long walk in the woods this morning. Poor little girl, the snow was pretty wet and it was stuck all over her. At times it looked like Bailey had casts on her forelegs. She would alternatively lumber along like a bear or hop like a deer. She just couldn’t quite figure out the best way to move around in the snow. We had to put her in the bathtub to melt her down. She’s taking a nap now. |

Williams

Adobe has released the latest version of its RAW
converter, Adobe Camera Raw. It’s been updated to
add support for the latest digital cameras including
the Nikon D40 and the Pentax K10D. Also, the
interface has been slightly modified and it seems to
work faster.

During my shoot at Triple "D" last month, I came
across a situation where by trying to simplify the
exposure process, I actually just completely
complicated it. Usually, when photographing wildlife,
Aperture Priority exposure mode works best. This is
because animals are typically moving fast and there's
no time to take spot meter reading. Plus the lighting
situation often changes as you point your camera in
different directions.
But if you throw in some bright snow and dark trees, then shooting in an auto exposure mode can make your photographic life a misery. |

That's all for this month. I was meaning to try out a
camera calibration procedure but that will have to wait.
Maybe next month. We'll see.
In the mean time, I hope you're ready for spring. I know we sure are after all the rain, wind, and snow we've had this winter. |
