Encore las Vegas, Nevada.
The new Encore is scheduled to open on December 22. Judging from the outside, I get the feeling it is very similar to the Wynn.
We are finished updating our website including our section of Las Vegas photos, and a new section of proffesional poker player photos.
We found these teepees driving around the backroads of Moab this Fall.
Here are some random news items that I thought I would share. Since these aren’t interesting to most readers, I figured I would put them all in one post and bury them after the jump.Read More
A kayaker on Resurrection Bay enjoying a beautiful afternoon this past Sunday, Seward, Alaska.
A couple of months ago I wrote about a sensor cleaning liquid and wand product made by Dust-Aid. I really like the wands, they made it easy to get the moist swaps into the champer and allowed me to reach the corners of the sensor. But the real benefit to me was the fact this liquid could be shipped via air to places like Alaska.
Well I just tried another product that works even better! In fact, I was able to clean my sensor with just one try in just a matter of minutes! Read More
A couple times a year, students from the marine program at AVTEC (a local vocational school), light off a wide variety of signal flares along the waterfront. This allows them become familiar with there operation and use. I thought it made for an interesting photo opp.
Pine Grosbeak, Seward, Alaska.
Another visitor to our backyard mountain ash. These guys are a little more approachable, but nothing like the crows. I actually tried to slowly touch one of the crows feeding in this tree the other day – I thought he might let me, but he finally hopped to another branch once I got within a foot.
I have had a number of questions about the settings used for some of my recent photos, I will try to get into the habit of posting such information after the jump – that way those that don’t care can ignore it!Read More
I love these colorful birds, but they sure can be tough to photograph. Hundreds would descend on the tree at a time, and then they would feed in constant motion. It was hard to pick a single bird out to photograph. Then, all it takes is a crow to fly by, and the hundreds leave in a giant mass. I almost got hit by birds a couple of times!
I usually use flash for some fill light, but here, because it was so dark, I made it the main light source.
Seward Boat Harbor at Sunrise, Alaska.
This beautiful sunrise was Monday morning.
This time of year, because the sun rises at such a shallow angle compared to the horizon, the colorful portion of the sunrise lasts 15 minutes or more. I always have to adjust my thinking when I travel to a place like Arizona. There the sun rises nearly perpendicular to the horizon, and the best color can disappear after 5 minutes or less.
We have now updated our main photo website with a new section of Moab, Utah Photos, thanks to our recent travels.
In addition, we also updated our Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park sections.
