Well hello there strangers! Actually I’ve been the stranger. A good long blogging break that corresponded with a good long break from photography. Hope everyone had a warm and happy Thanksgiving. This is just a little quiet time at the beach with a new camera and lens. A few surfers, a cruise ship heading out, and not much going on. Perfect!
First Light for a Canon 7D Mk II, plus a new Tokina 11-20 mm. f/2.8. 12 mm., 1/30 sec. @ f/8, ISO 320, hand-held.
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.
Nice to see you again, Michael!
Hey there Mr. African Wildlife Encyclopedia!
Not yet, but getting there!
Welcome back! I was recently thinking there had been no contact for a while!
Thank you Murray, nice to hear from you.
Happy Xmas Michael! Just letting you know that I may be in Portland for three days or so in early November next year. It depends on my partner being able to get a ticket for a convention and we won’t know that until April.
Same to you and yours Murray, thank you! Let me know about Portland. Just 3 days but enough time to go shoot some waterfalls in the Gorge.
