Greetings
Once again I'm heading off for workshops so once again this will be short.
The Photographer's Ephemeris
 
Now this looks cool: Stephen Trainor's The Photographer's Ephemeris. This free application can show sun and moon rise and set times as well as azimuth. But it does more that this. It can also overlay that information with a topographic map. According to the developer, "A typical use might be to determine when the sun will set along the axis of a mountain valley, or when a full moon rise will rise across a lake."
This utility requires the use of Adobe Air, available as a free download. All the links are here.

I haven't had the time to much more than play with this yet but it looks like something with which I could kill hours and hours.

Colorado Mountains and Wildflowers workshop
 
A reminder that Don Mammoser and I have reduced the price on our Colorado Mountains and Wildflowers workshop (July 7-11) to $800. This workshop includes two jeep trips into the mountains. This was one of our more popular workshops last year and everybody raved about the jeep excursions.
There are still a few spaces left.
Olympic National Park-Special Price
 
In case you missed the email I sent out a few days ago, I'm offering a limited space workshop to Olympic National Park, July 19-24. The workshop cost is $500 and is limited to six people.

I anticipate that this workshop, like the Palouse workshops I offered, will fill fast

Another tutorial from Tony Kuyper
 
Check out the new tutorial from Tony Kuyper. This one is on using a web browser to help proof your images. The theory is that it's more effective to proof the work you're doing in Photoshop if you can see a more finished product. That is, a matted and framed print. Now we all know it's impractical to mat and frame a print just for the purpose of proofing adjustments in Photoshop so this tutorial and the included actions and files shows you how to do that in a web browser.
Tony's also updated a couple of his previous actions including his "Make it Glow" and his "Saturation Masks" actions.
Off Again
 
That's it for now. I'm heading off for back to back to back workshops, my longest trip of the year. Poor Bailey the labradoodle, I guess she gets pretty mopy when I'm gone on these long trips.
