Here Doggie Look at the Birdie

Every day when I go to work on the access road to the parking lot where I park everyday these guys have been awful tempting to take a shot at. Today was the first real nice morning for a weekend to go take a shot at them and have the sun on the right side of where I needed it. Did not want to get too close since they are known carriers of some really bad things (think back to your history lessons of the Dark Ages). After sitting there with in the parking lot for a little to get them use to me sitting there and then I started shooting them. And they did not disappoint. Wish I could have spent more time with them, but I wanted to head to RMNP and go marmot hunting......

Well Changes Have Begun

Changes here have begun. The new memory cards are here and the now the Pocket Rocket is full of fuel and ready for some good shooting. The filters are here too and they are just itching to help bring to you some silky water from the snow melt here. Also a lighter, more versatile camera backpack that will let me take with me what I want and no more and also serve as a daypack for carrying goodies like snacks and lunch. So many straps and buckles and other places, it going to take a week just to finish exploring the new bag from Think Tank (it the the 360 Rotation backpack if you look at the site). Well, everyone have a good one and oh yea one more thing, I AM NOT ON CALL THIS WEEKEND...... YEA!!!!!!

Changes on the Way

Well to the folks down south that follow my blog, sorry no new updates in a while. Work has been very hectic and I am finding it very hard to find any free time to even go shoot. And when having time to shoot, I don't have the time to put them on the pc and go thru them. I have 2 full 4 GB cards just waiting to be loaded and gone thru. I guess it is a good thing also, since I am planning on ripping out my "old" 500 GB hard drives and install some "new" 1.5 TB drives in the computer and completely rebuild the OS so I better utilize my drives and the new space it will provide. I have also filled out my "pocket rocket" from Think Tank Photo with 4 more 4 GB CF cards. This will give me 40 GB of storage in the field. With that much storage available in the field, you can now see why I am going to 1.5 TB drives. Also coming are some new ND filter, replacing one that got scratched horribly last year shooting at Ouzel Falls. It has lived a good life, now time for it to retire.

So now it is time to go and grab sometime to eat for me and the truck and hopefully, I will not get paged trying to eat.

Here is a plug for one of the blogs and a worldwide event that is occuring on July 18, 2009. It is called Photo World Wide Walk. Here is the link for it:Photo World Wide Walk. It sponsored by the folks of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). So check it out, time is running out and if you lead one and have a group, you and your group could win stuff if the photos win prizes if submitted.

Have a good one and remember this, a day shooting in the field is hell of lot better than being in the office.

Later......
