Curves Adjustment Toot

Just a little vid on using curves adjustment layers to add some “fill light” or to de-emphasize a background.

A Trip to Virginia Beach

On a trip to Viriginia Beach, I had an opportunity to snap a few pictures along the boardwalk. If you ever get a chance to make it down there, I highly recommend for breakfast the restaurant Pocahontas.  WONDERFUL buttermilk pancakes and service was excellent.

Camera Strap - Cool Vendor

I have been using two cameras whenever I’m actively shooting for specific shots [i.e. getting paid!]. I use my small zoom 24-75mm on one camera and my 70-200mm on the other. One camera [smaller lens] has your standard shoulder/neck strap and on the camera with the larger lens, I use a little handstrap deal which keeps my hand positioned and relieves some of the stress from the weight of that behemoth. Yet, its a pain when I am not shooting because it does feel as if my hand is Duck taped to the camera.

BUT…I’ve decided to get a new shoulder/neck strap. Yet, I don’t like the standard fare - I’d like to get something a little more artistic/crafty/trendy.

Found this site that has something close to what I am looking for: http://www.myfunkycamera.com/
Click on the Neck Straps link. I haven’t bought one yet because it would be REALLLLLLY cool if I could find some Belgian Shepherd or specifically, some Malinois material that could be used for the strap material. Or if it had one of my favorite bands - like a U2 camera strap. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

One of the best sports ever!

I just love the sport of agility.  Watching it, photographing it, competing in it - it doesn’t matter.  The sport just rocks. Here are a few to get you in the spirit!
