Yearly Archives: 2011 So I follow a bunch of Photographers over on Google+, one of them being Brian Matiash. Brian had a post recently where he stated he found it very challenging to stop and smell the roses. Since Brian’s post was illustrated with a view towards Otter Cliff, Acadia, Maine, I decided to illustrate this post with… 
You have to allow yourself to shake things up! And sometimes, just so you remember what it’s like to simply relax and enjoy the sights for their own merits, try to leave the camera at home! (IT IS very hard to do I know!)  Back in March of this year, my wife took a business trip to Miami, Florida and I tagged along for a break. We thought the hotels were a bit pricey when booking them but didn’t realize till we pulled up in front of the Betsy Ross Hotel that we’d picked a Spring Break week! Thankfully,…  So as we come to the end of the year, Scott Kelby posted his annual holiday gear guide so I thought I’d present mine. Like Scott, all of the items here are items I personally have used this year. Unlike Scott’s list, each one of these items costs less than $100. OP/TECH USA 18″ Rainsleeve… 
Here’s a simple & cheap product I use in my wedding photography http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V9KG0I/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details It’s a small case that can be threaded by a belt, or attached to a belt loop with the carabiner. I use it to store my memory cards and an extra set of AA batteries for my flash. It stays on my body so I don’t have to worry about digging for memory cards, it also has two pockets so I can separate full memory cards from empty ones.  So I’d planned to write this post about the USS Cavalla, on display in Seawolf Park, Galveston, Texas, accompanied by a series of photos but I just didn’t get around to it. So all I have right now is this one image of the forward torpedo room that I’ve been working on. Production Data Camera:… 
Richard, I was just there two weeks ago. That is an amazing photo of the sub. Mine didn’t turn out anything like that! 
Hey Richard, Nice blog! Thanks for sharing your passion for photography and your excellent shots! -Steve  On October 19, 2011, Ren Ng and his team at Lytro ushered in a new era in photography with the introduction of the Lytro Light Field Camera. What’s so revolutionary? The fact that you can refocus the picture AFTER you’ve taken it. If you visit the Picture Gallery page on the Lytro website you can…

[...] what if we go a step further? Readers of my blog will remember my recent post on the Lytro light field camera. Elsewhere we read of flexible displays, displays that are as thin as a piece of card. So where [...]  For the Fallen, by Robret Laurance Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There…  This past weekend we put out clocks back to standard time here in the USA. The ritual that, for many, confirms autumn is here and winter is just around the corner. Around this time last year, I was traveling in Maine and I took this photograph of a waterfall in Acadia National Park. Hiking Much…  Wow, it’s Halloween again, already! As if to underline the point, a cold front has just swept through Texas bringing highs only in the mid 60′s (Fahrenheit, that is). Now, that may not be cold to some, including the ice cream vendor cruising my neighborhood as I write, but it hasn’t been this cold in…  I recently camped out at Brazos Bend state park, a little under an hour’s drive from my home. I hadn’t been there in a couple of years and I was somewhat surprised at how low the water levels were. I shouldn’t have been surprised – after all, Texas is suffering a major drought this year…. 
great pics of the croc! looks like a nice place to camp 
A south african ranger told me the difference is also the inner colour of their mouth. Crocodiles have a yellow, alligators a more pink colour. So if your head is in…… You’ll see the difference 
Man, I hope I never get that close! Thanks for the great information. I think the closest I got to your location when I was in South Africa in the late 1980s was around the Three Rondavels a little to the south of you. You’re in a truly fantastic part of the world and I hope to get back there one day!

Great post! I especially like the first alligator, with skin like lava flow. |
