Speedliter’s Intensive! If you’re going to be near those cities on those dates, I heartily recommend you register then call-in sick the day of. You’ll be glad you did!
Tag Archives: canon The cruising speed of a Boeing 737 is a shade over 500 miles per hour (all things being equal) so we’d traveled about eight miles closer to the cloud wall. Add to that the cloud wall was moving west, towards us and that yields the change in the cloud shapes between the two photo-sets.

[...] wonderful sunsets. Plus, here we were actually camped on some higher ground on the edge of the pond rather than in the pond. Of course, we were aided in this by the fact the pond had water in it when we arrived. Order a [...]
[...] When I first arrived about a year earlier the crew and camping was new and far less structured but as we got used to the dynamic, our orderliness improved considerably. Thankfully, Bultfontein was a dry camp. [...]  As my faded memory recalls, pretty much every afternoon at around 3:00 pm, the clouds would build us and a series of thunder storms would roll through. The noise from the rain and thunder rendered our seismic recording an exercise in futility so we’d return to camp, and face the prospect of cooking once again. 
Why were you stuck with the Olympus XA in Lybia?
This was when I was in Libya in 1984-86. Shortly before I went someone from inside the Libyan embassy in London had shot and killed PC Yvonne Fletcher so relations were tense. The Libyan police and army were unpredictable at best and the advice from the Foreign office and from my employer was to avoid drawing attention to ones self. Hence the point-and-shoot.

I’d love to know more if anyone out there reading has any knowledge or Norwegian friends. 
Hi Richard, Oslo is a really interesting place. They have a lot of things and places which are interesting. For the case that you will visit Oslo again, you should visit the Vigelandpark. Gustav Vigeland built 212 sculptures which are presented in the Frognerpark. Very impressive. By the way: you have visited already a lot of countries and have a lot of impressive and excellent photographs on your website. Have a nice day. Greets Detlef  What’s neat about this tour is that Clay has a live video feed from his camera so you get to see what he’s looking at as he works through his live demonstrations of posing and lighting.  What I liked particularly about this scene was the strip of cloud obscuring the sun. Below the cloud, the sun is casting radiant colors while above the sun is illuminating the higher clouds seemingly from below making the bottoms white and the tops grey.

very nice picture! is amazing!
Magi, thanks for your vote of approval!  Last summer I took this shot of a British Airways 777 heading west in a cloud-free sky over the Marlborough Downs. I know it’s a British Airways plane because at 100% view, you can see the familiar BA tail markings. |
