Out hiking late, the moon rose, and lit the surrounding slickrock countryside along Upper Calf Creek in the Escalante River Country of southern Utah. Later I found out this moon is the closest to Earth in two decades. It was bright, but I attributed that to the light colored sandstones. A beautiful moonlit hike for us, whatever the planetary configuration.
My past careers as science teacher and geologist mean that I can't help but teach about the natural history of photogenic places around the world. But photography is not forgotten. You'll also see practical tips about where and how to photograph the destinations. And once a week, Friday Foto Talk gives photography tips and how-to on a selected topic, for novices on up to expert.
What you won't find here is endless discussion about me braving dangerous weather, terrain or wild animals to get the shot. Nor will there be cheerleading gear talk or marketing pitches. I promise to leave that to other blogs, of which there are many.
Please don't be shy; your words are what makes my day!
