In this episode of the Moose Podcast #364 – “You’re Not Alone” the idea behind a photo, the creation of images, the finishing of images, it often makes us feel as we’re all alone. But that doesn’t have to be the case, you’re not alone!

Philmont Color – Join Us!!!!

Sangre de Cristo Mountains fall color captured by Z 9 / 8-15Fish

Philmont Scout Ranch is smack dab on the Santa Fe Trail nestled in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains, NM. Reaching over 14k feet in height they afford an amazing view and even more brilliant backdrop for our photographic adventure 08-14 Oct, ’23. I love this place and so thankful this is our third annual photographic workshop at the historic scout ranch. This intensive photographic training covers landscape, critters (amazing bison herd you stand right in the MIDDLE of!), historic structures, portraits, flash, heavenly bodies and daily digital darkroom instruction. And that’s just for starters! It’s a small class, five days of instruction, lodging all for $995! Click here (scroll down to October) to register but do it quickly (registration is handled the Philmont only). I was just told it’s half filled already with returnees. Yeah, it’s that great! Cya there!

Making Lemonade on the Dock

Northern Sea Otter captured by Z 9 / Z400f2.8

When in Alaska you gotta, gotta put away the clock, take a deep breath and just go with the flow. On our way into bear camp was a little delayed by the weather. The last couple of days all bush flights have been canceled with the huge winds so the start of today was slowed down as the storm blow out and then the back log of flights from the last couple of days started to take care of past postponed flights. Many were in the backcountry stranded who had to be picked up before we could use the Beaver for our flight. Well, what’s a photographer to do sittin on the dock waiting for your float plane?

I pulled out the Z 9 / Z400f2.8 and started to go click. Just then this Northern Sea Otter came cruising by. They normally aren’t at this local because of all the float plane traffic so it was a treasure. It was finding things to eat on the way so as he pasted by the first dock, I got some shots of it eating some slimy thing I thought was disgusting looking. It kept paddling to the next dock so I ran up the one, over and down the next in time to catch it munching on a urchin. The light wasn’t very nice, the wind still gusting by heck, even in these conditions one can make lemonade on the dock.

Moose Podcast #363 – “Is No Bad?”

This episode of the Moose Podcast #363 – “I No Bad?”, I’m riddled with internal guilt when I say no to jobs, offers, opportunities, gear when I say no. After some questions from you and asked myself, is no bad?

Yellowstone in Fall, Join Us!

American Bison captured by Z 9 / Z400f4.5

Yellowstone in fall is one of my favorite times to explore this grand landscape! There is a nip in the air so you can see the steam dot the landscape. The Bison, Elk, Wolves and deer are in their new winter coats, all buff and ready for the coming winter. And here and there as you look across the landscape are dots of orange and yellow. This is all blanketed in the gorgeous, warm mellow light of fall. Simply spectacular! We are so pleased to be putting on the calendar our Fall Yellowstone Adv and invite you to join us 13-18 October, 2024.

You’ll be flying in / out of Bozeman, MT where you’ll be picked up and taken to Gardner, MT where we’ll be based. Each day we’ll head out to see what the park has to offer us. I’m inviting six shooters (only 3 spots remain) to explore this vast, majestic landscape with us for the week. The price is $2250 which includes transportation once you arrive to BZN until you’re dropped back off, Adventure preparation packets, premeeting Zoom, education and entertainment.

If you’re able to join us, please reach out to Sharon 406 .240 .3503 and let her know. It’s going to be another grand time and Adventure!

“He’s Lost his Mind!”

cartoon created with Dr Brown’s Acition from the image below

I have for sure, but that’s not my point. There is a business side to everything I do with a camera, mostly very long-term thinking it will pay back for time and thought. Nothing in photography is instant gratification as far as my account is concerned. So, what’s with the “cartoon” of my favorite Goose all about you ask? Every so often, I get asked for a photo to be used as a reference by an artist often for a T-shirt illustration. They ask first if I can draw in which I smile, say no, and explain that’s why I’m a photographer. This last weekend at the KelbyOne PhotoshopWorld, the marvelous Russell Brown gave away his Actions using Generative AI for creating water, oil, pencil, and cartoon renditions of your photograph. You simply click on the Action, wait 24-48 seconds and you have them appear on your monitor. It’s really darn cool. So this week, I’m posting some of the fun I’ve had learning how to take advantage of this so next I’m asked, I can supply the “artist” rendition and make some more funds. Not every version works, some not at all. Here you will see two that did and the actual photograph. Enjoy!
