Editing Progress... Day 3 of 11

MORE PHOTOS NOW ONLINE

I have added another 190+ images, so days one, two, and three are finished and online.

That is all I am going to get added before the big jet airliner carries me away.

Sorry. I hope you enjoy.

Day three led me to a few "hidden" ponds to shoot American Wigeons and Ring Necked Ducks, then down the road to a neighbor reserve for even more birds than Bosque had.

Another day is added so take a look and enjoy.

I will try to get a few more days worth of photos added here before heading to the Chicagoland area; but I am skeptical.

Yellowstone December 17th - 19th

PHOTOS NOW ONLINE

After my great New Mexico adventure I still needed to make a December trip to Yellowstone. As many of you know I like to make my trips when the lunar phases predict strong activity, however, I had only three possible days to make my December trip so I went against the odds (predicted scores of 27/18/10 out of 100). The park has relatively little snow in the Northern range, this is putting the better activity far from the road. With the exception of a bachelor group of Mule Deer bucks, Elk bulls, and many, many, Coyotes there is not much to be seen and photographed near the roads in the North. Even some hiking did not help provide more opportunities to photograph exciting wildlife (I am not including lots of cow Elk in and near Mammoth as exciting wildlife to photograph). The hiking was nice and I did not even need to use gaiters, let alone my snow shoes.

I took only a few hundred images and narrowed it dow to less than 50 to put online. I hope you enjoy.

7D Users Rejoice

Adobe now has full raw support for the 7D in both Lightroom and Bridge/PS.

I have updated; but not played yet.

Editing Progress... Day 1 of 11

PHOTOS NOW ONLINE

Hopefully more images will be flying your way before the end of the year.

I made a day and a half layover back home between my two weeks in New Mexico and a few days in Yellowstone.

I managed to get the first days photos edited and online. I hope you enjoy.

I will try to get a few more days worth of photos added here when I return and before heading to the Chicagoland area; but I can make no promises.

Bosque del Apache, Day 8

Back to Bosque and the surrounding local area shooting lots of birds. I hope you enjoy. It is late so I am off to bed.

White Sands, Day 6

The two and a half hour drive to White Sand National Monument is well worth it when you are in the area. A drive then a few landscapes after shooting sunrise in Bosque del Apache. Just so people know the Oryx have bee removed from White Sands about 5 years ago. If you have connections, I don't, you may be able to et onto the missile range and photograph them; but that is very unlikely.

Days before my arrival here was 60+ mph winds in the area so things were a little different than usual.

For now I'll let the photos finish the talking.

Bosque del Apache, Day 4

MORE PHOTOS ONLINE

Another nice day in the American Southwest and Bosque del Apache. The day started with freezing rain most photographers slept in our stayed in their cars... not me. Arc'teryx kept me warm and dry and I got to do some shooting that was actually well worth the time in the rain. I have some rainbow shots; but they will come in a while. This may be my last post for a while as I will not have internet connections for the majority of my trips remainder. I'll try to post what I can; but I gave you some extra photographs today to make up for the coming drought.

Enjoy

Bosque del Apache, Day 3

Another day with over 2,500 photos, and the light was not even that good.

I am very tired so the photos will have to do the talking.

Enjoy

Bosque del Apache, Day 2

Day 2

A little slower today than yesterday; but I still managed some 2,000 images. The plan for tomorrow is promising, with a side trip to a "special place." All any day will take to go from good to great is a Bobcat and or some great light at sunrise and or sunset.

Long days leave me wanting sleep so I'll keep it short... enjoy the photos.

One and One Hundred

Well my 100th post is about my first day of shooting for my December 2009 trip to the America Southwest. Over 2,500 photos (that is about 50GB's) and a full day of shooting was a great way to start out the trip. Yesterday I spent the entire day, until 1:30am today, on the road. I am a little tired and look forward to a good nights seep to get up and do it again X 13. I may not have all of the photos online this year, so you will have to just enjoy what I put online here for now.

P.S. I felt like I should hold off on the Sandhill Crane and Snow Goose photos as you will all be sick of the by the time I am done.

Enjoy
