Breakfast on the Go (and a tight crop)
I've visited Ft. Desoto Beach ,here in the Tampa area, a number of times this spring. Once you shoot there a time or two, you start to change your expectations. At first, you're just happy to get a nice photo of a Snowy Egret flying. They don't fly really fast, so...
Adobe Listened! The Old “Save As” is Back
A few weeks ago I released a video talking about some changes to the way we "Save As" in Photoshop. This was specifically for people who opened a photo in to Photoshop, and wanted to save, say, a JPG. It wasn't really anything directed toward a Lightroom > Photoshop...
Should You Shoot Wide Open?
I was teaching a webinar the other evening and I got a question that prompted me to write this post. Now, I've actually gotten this question many times before, but this is the first I'm writing about it. See, during the webinar I had mentioned that I "mostly"...
Some Privacy Please!
I was out for a walk on the beach at sunset a while back and came across some Royal Terns just hanging out. I stopped for a few minutes and realized I was in a really bad spot for photographing them since the sun was almost in my face, or just off to the side of it....
What’s New in Lightroom 10.3 (June 2021 Update)
Adobe just released a new update for Lightroom today. It's one of the smaller "dot" updates which typically includes performance changes and camera updates. But they also snuck in the Super Resolution feature that we saw in Photoshop a few months ago. I did a quick...
I Feel Like a Sitting Duck
So which photo do you like best? The sitting duck or the flying duck? Back in April I was out on a lake with DV Wildlife Tours, and we saw some Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks in early morning warm light. The conditions were almost perfect. Sun at our back, wind at our...
Ooooooo, or Ewe? Osprey on the Beach
Last year I happened to see an Osprey catch a fish on the beach and then land on the beach to start eating it. At the time, I hadn't seen this happen before. Usually, they catch the fish and bring them high up on a building or tree before they settle down with it. But...
Success! Well… Kind Of
If you read the other day's post (You Have to Start Somewhere), you saw that I posted a photo from an outing on my kayak. I was really trying to get a nice Spoony in flight, but that didn't happen. Well, I didn't get back until 9pm that night. And in spite of the fact...
Where Did Save As JPG Go in Photoshop
Really quick... I forgot to mention in the email that I posted some photos from my Eagle photography trip last week. Click here to see them. UPDATE: I found out that Apple made a change to their OS which required Adobe to make this change. So if you're wondering why...
Amazing Eagle Photography with the Sony Alpha 1
Hi all. I just got back from a trip to Washington state for some amazing eagle photography and I wanted to share some of the story and photos. Planning the Trip A couple of months ago, my buddy Blake Rudis (f64academy.com) and I were talking about taking a photo trip....
You Have to Start Somewhere
I've had this idea for some time now. Sort of starting a journal in to my bird and wildlife photography. While it may seem sudden to some of you that I've been doing this type of photography, it's actually been about 5-6 years now - my first trip to Costa Rica in 2016...
What’s New in ON1 Photo Raw 2021.5
