I went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom last Sunday. The trip was a total bust. AK didn’t open until 9, and I rode the safari first. This time, the trip was so jerky, I really didn’t get any pictures. The last time I rode on it, the giraffes caused the jeep to stop and gave some …
Since my pictures have been making the rounds, between friends, family, and associates, I’ve been thinking about watermarking/copyrighting issues. Rick brought up this issue a week or two ago and I’m sorta running into the same issue recently. Do I (we) want to worry about someone stealing my/our work? (i’m not that good yet, but …
Ok – I have been carrying my camera everywhere so that I may attempt to learn how to coax a little extra out of it. Yesterday I had my oil changed in anticipation of my Disney trip this weekend. As I had a few minutes, and I didn’t want to leave my camera in the …

On the whole the Anne Kolb Nature Center was a bust. When we got there the boat ride was closed so any chances of seeing any wildlife out in the mangroves was shot. The next thing that occurred to us was that maybe we should have brought along bug repellent because the air was so …
When I first started shooting I found I had a lot of blurry pictures and out of focus issues. Now that I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve managed to move away from having lots of blurry and out of focus pictures, I’m confronted with yet another issue. Exposure. I’ve gotten much better at figuring …
On Saturday April 5th, I took an impromptu visit to the Metro Zoo. This was a family outing but I am fortunate that my family now expects that I drag along 40 pounds of photography equipment everywhere I go. So they think I am weird but they don’t let it bother them. Overall, I was …
