Went for a hike on the Humboldt Trail in Upper Bidwell Park. Used my Nikon N90s, 50mm @ f/1.4 and Kodak Ektar 100iso film.
 
Wildflower season is in full swing here in NorCal. And to think that before I started going on the California Native Plant Society hikes I would crush wildflowers beneath my hiking boots not knowing their names.

I've been using the Eye-Fi card for a couple weeks, to transfer images to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. I like the geo-tag functionality of the card, makes my life easier in post-production. I also like the Direct Mode connection, so that the Eye-Fi Pro X2 card creates a wireless connection with my tablet or phone, allowing me to use the features off the grid. What a great product Eye-Fi is...

52 Weeks: The 2013 Edition • Week 10 theme "What is it?"

Meet Crystal who is an Icelandic Gyrfalcon. She's at her job, which  is bird abatement at Neil Road Recycling and Waste Facility. She’s part of the raptor team that deters the Gulls from picking through the trash and defecating on the landfill workers.

Crystal belongs to Dave Myers who is a Master Falconer that owns and operates "Bird Abatement Services". Bird abatement services is a non-lethal way of displacing wild birds that cause agricultural damage, and are public health and safety concerns. Crystal is also Dave’s most prized bird who is worth ~ $20,000. Dave can be contacted at 530.774.3205.

"The Gyrfalcon (pron.: /ˈdʒɜrfɔːlkən/ or /ˈdʒɜrfælkən/), also spelled gerfalcon, — Falco rusticolus — is the largest of the falcon species. The Gyrfalcon breeds on Arctic coasts and the islands of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is mainly resident there also, but some Gyrfalcons disperse more widely after the breeding season, or in winter.[nb 1] Although the Sushen's precise homeland at that time remains unknown, it was in the Manchuria region, no less than c.600 and perhaps more than 1000 km from the Lu capital of Qufu. The Gyrfalcon is dispersed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, with populations in Northern America, Greenland, and Northern Europe. Its plumage varies with location, with birds being coloured from all-white to dark brown. For centuries, gyrfalcon has been a precious hunting bird, highly valued among the Vikings. It is the national symbol of Iceland.
 
The bird's common name comes from French gerfaucon; in medieval Latin it is gyrofalco. The first part of the word may come from Old High German gîr (cf. modern German Geier) for "vulture", referring to its size compared to other falcons; or from the Latin gȳrus for "circle" or "curved path"—from the species' circling as it searches for prey, distinct from the hunting of other falcons in its range.[nb 2] The male Gyrfalcon is called a gyrkin in falconry. The scientific name is composed of the Latin term for a falcon, Falco, and for a countryside-dweller"

The Grid on Kelby TV had an excellent show titled "Become a Better Photographer in 2013" and it had a lot of good food for thought.

 

I've been nominated Vice President and am giving a short talk at NorCal Professional Photographers Association this evening to summarize that episode of The Grid and give my personal thoughts.

 

  1. Figure out your style: Focus on what you're good at. Are you a wedding, portrait, commercial, landscape, architectural, lifestyle, adventure or fine art photographer? Most of us are a combination of those styles, it's up to you to choose where your best creativity and passion lies. Learn to accept  critique, listen to what other people say about your images, you might glean a nugget of truth out of it, even if you don't agree.
  2. Study the Masters: Google the websites for the photographers you most admire. Use sites like Flickr, 500px and Google Images to research what other photographers have done in regards to a style, subject or location. Take from that the elements of the photographs that you like and don't like. Learn from other's mistakes and successes. Build your mental visual library.
  3. Seek out Training: The internet has a wealth of information and how to videos for photography. For example KelbyTraining and YouTube.com
  4. Do whatever it takes to get the images you want to make: If you're a landscape photographer, travel to that special place. If you want to make new and compelling wedding, portrait or fashion images hire/trade a model and borrow/rent the clothing. If you're an event or sports photographer, get access to those events. Go for "That Client" you've always wanted  to work for.
  5. Create an online portfolio: Build your website, I use Zenfolio, other great choices are PhotoShelter and Smugmug. Photo sharing sites like Flickr and 500px are great places to share and be inspired by themed groups like Macro Mondays, Strobist Sundays, Theme of the Week and Flickr Friday. Another option for creative inspiration on Flickr is the new group I started 1x12 2013 Edition. Flickr and Getty Images have partnered, I received an invite from Getty Images to become a contributor to their Flickr Creative Collection for my Adventure/Lifestyle and Fine Art images. I'll admit Getty's 30/70 contract is low, but these are images that I'm not marketing anyway and Getty Images is the world's largest stock agency; they don't accept images unless they believe they can sell them.
  6. Buy or rent the gear you need: LensProToGo and BorrowLens are two great rental companies. You can also look on Ebay for used gear.
  7. WHAT IS YOUR MISSION?: This is the most important key to becoming a better photographer this year. Think about what you want to accomplish for yourself and your business. Matt Kloskowski's mission is "To take beautiful images of beautiful places." My mission is "To make compelling images for my commercial, stock and fine art photography. Which includes architectural, commercial, short films, adventure/lifestyle and artsy fartsy images.

I photographed a friend’s globe, focusing on Central America to illustrate this week’s theme.

 

ABOUT THIS PROJECT:

 

MoPho Info:

Capture • DROID 3

Processing • Vignette App

This American Life • Theme of the Week • MoPho Project 52 Weeks, creating 52 new images in 2012 for each week's TAL theme with the device I listen to the episodes on, Motorola Droid 3. Each image for this project will be shot in 2012 and processed in phone with installed Apps. I then take it into Lightroom to add tags, title, caption and my watermark. So in essence each photo will be straight out of camera phone.

 

ABOUT THIS WEEK'S TAL EPISODE:                                                

 

#465: What Happened At Dos Erres

Originally aired 05.25.2012

 

“In 1982, the Guatemalan military massacred the villagers of Dos Erres, killing more than 200 people. Thirty years later, a Guatemalan living in the US got a phone call from a woman who told him that two boys had been abducted during the massacre -- and he was one of them”
