Well, our first annual Wineries of Oregon's Willamette
Valley Photo Tour was great. Couldn't have had better
conditions
and the photographic opportunities were everywhere.
Fall color cooperated, the temperature was pleasant,
the folks at the wineries were warm and welcoming
and the wine itself was superb.
Dick Badger and I will be running this same tour again next fall, sometime in the latter half of October. Keep an eye out on my workshops page for final dates. If you're seriously interested in this trip, drop me an email and I'll notify you when we finalize the dates. |

If you've got a trip to Death Valley on your horizon,
check out my friend Shellye Poster's first book,
The Photographer's Guide to Death Valley.
Shellye now literally lives in Death Valley, working for the NPS, and knows the park better than anyone I know. She probably knows it as well as the rangers, many of whom are friends of hers. Her book is available for pre-order at Amazon. And while your surfing around, check out her website: www.posterphoto. com |

Keep an eye out for the Winter 2008 issue of Nature Photographer Magazine. Don
Mammoser and I took out an ad to
promote our workshops. We've also launched a new
site specifically for our workshops: R&D Photo Workshops. Check it
out. You'll find information on all of our 2009
workshops.
Some of the trips we have planned include repeats of a couple of workshops that sold out fast last year: Yosemite National Park and Colorado Mountains & Flowers. We've also added some brand new workshops. In April we're going to Arches National Park. In June we're doing a combination wildlife/landscape workshop: Triple "D" and Glacier National Park. And in the fall we'll be returning to the mountains of Colorado for the fall colors. |

I've also recently added workshops to the Palouse
Region of eastern Washington in June,
Olympic
National Park in July, and Mt. Rainier National
Park in
August. These will be through The Nature Workshops.
You can find details on those by going to my Workshops Page

Test your Color IQ
Here's a fun and interesting exercise to see how well your eyes/monitor can detect changes in color. I tried this a little while back and did pretty good with it. You may have to click on to your region on the first page that comes up. |

Well you may have noticed a theme with the pictures
attached to this newsletter. I kind of liked the wineries,
and not just for the photography either. I managed to
come back with a few bottles of some of the finest
Oregon wines.
If you enjoy wine and are coming out to the Portland,
OR area, be sure to take some time to visit the
Willamette Valley wineries. You can get a map and
more information by visiting www.oregon
