Photo Workshop, Day 3.

Today we awoke to driving wind and rain so we slept in and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast.  The storm passed through quickly and we were out shooting by 10:30.  Today we finished the covered bridge tour that was started yesterday.  In between the bridges, there were random stops.  One such stop was this grove of birch trees.  Birch trees are great for photography, particularly in fog or when the skies are overcast.  Luckily we found this spot before the skies completely cleared, so we were able to practice “vertical pans.”  This was my favorite from this set.

Sadly, my circular polarizing filter fell onto a rock and shattered today.  We were on a somewhat compressed schedule, so we were trying to be quick at each stop.  The rushing made me feel clumsy, which led to me forgetting and dropping things.  I suppose being rushed is good training for a photographer.  I need to work on my “in the field” workflow to minimize the accidents.

The workshop will wrap up tomorrow morning.  Overall I am very glad that I signed up for it.

PS: Saturation: +15
SmugMug > popular today > I have been off line for a little while (about a month and a half) selling a townhome, last minute chores, and a 3 week vacation cruising Hawaii.

The ship sailed out of San Diego and we flew in a couple of days before hand to see the sights and ended up a Sea World the first day.

I am going to catch up the dailies with one shot from each of the trip days (except for the bad weather sea days when I didn't get a decent shot of anything of note) over the next couple of days as I process them.
