telephoto lenses and Really Right Stuff, tripods and ball heads. Lenses
include the 600 mm F4.0, 400mm F2.8, 300mm F2.8 and 200mm F2.0
We will concentrate on always photographing during the golden hours
surrounding sunrise and sunset. Other photography time will concentrate on
the hours around those key times. We will post process images or travel
during the other hours.
Workshop leaders will assist in all phases of photography to include lens
selection, pre visualizing the image, filters and aperture and shutter speed
selection. Leaders are familiar with Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe Photoshop
but do not consider themselves experts. Little time will be devoted to
classroom instruction in post processing.
Participants may choose to ride in a comfortable 15 passenger van from KC or
fly to a destination and we will arrange for a pickup in Arizona or
California.
Destination Workshop Investment: $1,989.00. The fee does not include food
or lodging. Lodging choices during the trip will be national motel chains
such as Super 8, Hampton Inn, Drury Inn, and Comfort Inns. Doubling up is
encouraged to save money.
Deposit: A non refundable deposit of $400.00 is required to hold your spot.
The fee, though not refundable, can be used toward a future destination
workshop should a family emergency cause you to cancel. The deposit is due
by October 15 and the balance will be deducted from your credit card on
November 30.
All participants are required to sign a release of liability statement.
Local guides: Reallyclassglass.com feels it is important to maximize time
photographing and not in searching for the best vantage points. Whenever
financially prudent we will hire local photo guides familiar with the
locations. Mark G, who works for Really Right Stuff, will guide us in
Monterey and Big Sur. We are currently searching for guides for Yosemite and
the Grand Canyon.
Maximum participants, 10, and the minimum for the trip is 3.

Destination workshop location highlights.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River is 200 miles long, a mile deep and
from 5-15 miles across. The north rim is closed during the winter season so
we will explore and photograph from the south side. We can descend into the
canyon on Bright Angel Trail for the full 17 mile round trip to the Colorado
River below or depending on time and agility of the participants...do only a
portion of the hike. But you really have not experienced the canyon until
you have walked in it.
Sedona....the red rock spires dominate the landscape and we will see why
this has become a favorite vacation and photographic destination. We'll
also schedule a trip to the ghost town of Jerome, population 403. Steep
streets switchback up the mountain to view the old copper mining town.
Monterey Bay and Big Sur......Carmel, Pebble Beach, Cannery Row, sea lions,
pelagic and shore birds, 17 mile drive scenery, Monterey Bay Aquarium...what
more needs to be said. The Weston Gallery in Carmel features the work of
Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, and prepares us for Yosemite. Mark G will
guide us to some of his favorite photographic sites along Big Sur which
stretches 90 miles south of Carmel from Point Lobos all the way to the
Hearst Castle with 5000 foot mountains rising out of the Pacific Ocean.
Winter in Yosemite...special, quiet....beautiful. Snow....amazingly
different images.
And did we say that all participants may use reallyclassglass.com
professional Nikkor lenses as part of the fee?
Monster High Frankie Stein presents The Explorers Guild Volume One: A Passage to Shambhala (©2015) by Jon Baird, Stephen Meyer, and Kevin Costner (yes, that Kevin Costner), illustrated by Rick Ross.
.
The tale is set in the period between 1912 and 1918. Coincidentally, one of the subplots of the mammoth tome I finally finished reading last night, Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon, was a search for the mythical land of Shambhala set in the same time period.
.
Similar to the remarkable The Invention of Hugo Cabret (©2007) by Brian Selznick, The Explorers Guild intersperses text chapters with a graphic novel format, although in Explorers Guild much of the artwork is of a more straightforward comic book style as opposed to the almost fine art approach of Cabret, with the exception of several astonishing full-colour plates reminiscent of N. C. Wyeth in both style and substance.
.
So, how is it? I don't know, I haven't read it yet, but I intend to start as soon as I have finished composing this overly-lengthy caption!
♫ Chariots of Fire by Vangelis ♫ Thanks Robert!
let me be the one
to tell you it's ok!
"When autumn wind goes running
It does some magic things.
It gives the shadows dancing shoes
It gives the bright leaves wings
When autumn wind goes running
It curls the bonfire's tail of smoke
And shares a little whispered joke
With cornstalks who delight to prattle
It turns a seed pod into a rattle
When autumn wind goes running
Leaves in the Fall come tumbling down,
Scarlet and yellow, russet and brown,
Leaves in the garden are swept in a heap,
The trees are ready for sleep.
Texture by Lenabem-Anna Thank you so much!
A fallen leaf is nothing more
than a summers wave good bye......"

Yesterday, I went out to a park I've never been to before and it was absolutely gorgeous! I really only stayed in this little section at the beginning of the trail because there was a creek and bridge I couldn't resist, but I'll definitely be going back soon to explore even further.
p.s. I tried changing the color of this dress, but a few specific parts refused to change color, so I settled on keeping it how it is. Does anyone have any tips for how to deal with stubborn areas when color changing? Send me a message if you do!
This picture was made on our recent girls' trip to the Smokies. After visiting the parrots and eating lunch in Townsend we drove up the mountain. We were happy to be surprised by snowfall and significant accumulation as we ascended the mountain. Down below, on Little River Road, there was no evidence of the snowfall that we had just played in!
COME ON. GET OUT OF THE CAR FOR A CLOSER LOOK. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
Bad Flickr sharpening, bad! Good girl!
I always get asked -- she is a cross between a female Golden Retriever and a male Cockapoo (which itself is a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and Poodle).
Nothing too special about this picture, really just testing how the 40D handles the 70-200 f/4L at 6.5fps with AI Servo AF...
