Eastern State Penitentiary is a national monument, a wonderful and graphic venue, and the location used in our new HDR DVD. This location provides texture and detail perfect for HDR: the colorful, cracked paint, rusty prison cell doors, towering guard towers, even Al Capone's "lavish" cell. The photo ops are tremendous and subject to interesting compositional and software driven interpretations. There will be an opening evening presentation on HDR to get you ready to hit the ground running the next day. We'll shoot from 10 am until mid-afternoon on Saturday, and Tony will be working with everyone individually on location. After dinner, we'll have class time to work on processing and technique.

Memory Cards - 15 Essential Tips for Photographers
Memory Cards - 15 Essential Tips for Photographers

"If you use a digital camera you use memory cards. Whether SD or CF or anything else, there are certain things you should know about your memory cards if you want to get the best experience possible."

Rescuing Photos
Rescuing Photos
I had this conversation the other day and thought that I would re-blog something that I have talked about in the past.
What do you do when a CF card fails?
Freak out? Hyperventilate? Swear? Cry?
No!
Why Not? Because you will have practiced and know that you can recover these images.
If you reformat a card, or if a card fails -- STOP. Do not take any more photos. Use the rescue software.
Kind of life a firedrills -- try a practice run and rescue your photos. Do this to learn how to rescue your images when your adrenaline isn't running and you are freaked out because you formated your memory card before you downloaded or your get an error message from your memory card. If you are prepaed you should not panic.
It's simple to try -- Format your memory card and then run the software and rescue your images. Try this on a card that you have already downloaded, if you know that you have recovered before you won't freak out if you actually NEED to recover images. You can try this for FREE.
PhotoRescue makes some really great image recovery software. In addition to the usual RAW file format updates, this version allows the extraction of large thumbnails from RAW files. As raw files of top DSLRs grow bigger, so do the embedded JPEG (or even small raw) thumbnails. While their quality obviously is not as good as the raw files, they can save a shoot when the raw data is damaged beyond recovery.
Your card might even come with some rescue software try that too.
http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-9318-9737
PhotoRescue is the best and fairest picture and data recovery solution for digital film - sd cards, compact flash, memory sticks, microdrive, etc... Featuring innovative recovery algorithms, PhotoRescue displays reliable previews of the recoverable pictures. What you see is what you recover, both on the Windows and on the Apple Mac OS X platforms. PhotoRescue has been awarded 4.5 stars by PCMagazine.
Please note that ANY storage is subject to a problem. For your hard drive the general consensus is not IF your hard drive will fail, but WHEN it will fail.
Yes, memory cards can also fail.
I personally have had a three of cards fail.
And twice I have also formatted over photographs that were not yet downloaded to my computer. When we were on our honeymoon we somehow reformatted a CF card that had not been downloaded. Argh! But all was not lost. I was prepared for this!
How?Well, I had practiced this scenario, at home, under no stress. I HIGHLY recommend that you run through the recovery process under non vasodilating conditions because when it happens your adrenaline will be running and it will be much easier to stay calm knowing that you know how to rescue.
So, if you reformat a card, or if a card fails -- STOP. Do not take any more photos. Use the rescue software.
I have tried three programs -- they are free and you buy them if they work for you (they provide a free trial to see that they did indeed rescue your images). Sometimes one program works better than another. Like I said you can also try the one that is for your card type (Sandisk, Lexar, etc.) (some cards come with rescue software for free).

Use Your mobile Device to Scan and Set Off Instant Communications
From Wayne Nolting - Use Your mobile Device to Scan and Set Off Instant Communications
Be the first in your Connecticut industry to take advantage of this emerging trend in mobile/cellular communications.
You can combine the power of a Cell Phone, iPad, other mobile Pad Device, iPhone, or Android device's email, web browser, and dialer to get people in touch with you, access your web site or Facebook page, downloadable information, advertising or promotion information, and limitless other documentation compatible with your portable cellular or pad computing device with a web cam by just scanning to instantly start communications.
It saves time inputting the information into your mobile device, can be embedded or attached to an email, won't get blocked by network firewalls since it is a safe graphic, works off your computer screen, can be embedded in letterhead, can be added to advertising and promotional print, can be part of a business card/contract/business form/program, printed on CDs or DVDs, and can point to a mobile web portal just to name a small number of possibilities.
I've done the leg work and testing to verify it works on my mobile platform.
Let me help you take advantage of this mobile scanning technology.
This is a simple sample of what I am talking about:
Here is how it works:
* You start a mobile scanning application.
* Point your mobile device web cam to the symbol to execute the desired function.
* The scanning application will scan and identify the symbol code, then start the appropriate mobile application.
* Within the mobile application you select an action and complete any additional steps required as in the case of email.
* The information scanned from the symbol can be saved or bookmarked on your mobile device for future use.
I will keep the best surprise exclusively for customers who will contract me to set this up.
Know someone who could REALLY benefit from this...forward this message.

Polly's pancake
I received a couple of comments about why I posted about Polly's pancakes yesterday, in relation to how was this an item of photographic interest. I guess I assumed that everyone knew about Polly's, LOL. If you have never been there you must go!!! They are located in the Sugar Hill area of NH, beautiful in the Fall, but absolutely tremendous in the Spring with the LUPINES! All of the photogs I know go to the area and do early sunrise and photograph the lupines and then head to Polly's for the most amazing breakfast! They make the pancakes using these interesting pewter. There are lupines in the field at St. Matthew's Church and at Polly's itself.

Paying homage to the annual blossoming of this captivating wildflower, the Fields of Lupine Festival is a time honored regional event. The brilliant spikes of the lupine flower carpet local fields and pastures in a rolling sea of vibrant purples, pinks, blues and whites.

Borrow a slide scanner (or a lens or camera body)
I have rented equipment from BorrowLenses and they are great!
Recently they added a film/slide scanner to their list of rental equipment. So if you have a bunch of slides that you want to scan rent a scanner and get hi res images!
OpticFilm 35mm Film Scanner
Rental Includes: USB Cable, 35mm filmstrip holder, Mounted slide holder, 35mm iT8 Target, power adapter, software, soft carrying case. This kit provides everything you need to professionally and efficiently scan all your film for the digital world.
The Plustek OpticFilm 7600i Ai Scanner is a 7200dpi film and mounted slide scanner that uses a white LED as its source which makes images vivid and dimensional. The 7600i Ai scans at 48-bit color making for accurate color, vibrancy and all the subtle detail in highlights and shadows. This machine minimizes noise by using multi-scan passes that are averaged together to cancel out all noise. It has a multi-exposure function to provide improved shadow and highlights details and show the richness and depth of every scan.
SilverFast iSRD (Infrared Smart Removal of Defect) software uses a combination of hardware and software to automatically eliminate minor flaws, such as dust and scratches. This feature can be used in automatic and manual mode.
You can also rent Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus camera bodies, lenses and other equipment. Rent something to try it out before you buy it, or rent that special lens instead of buying it! For example, rent that Canon 600m for a week for just $359. You could rent it twice a year for the next 12 years instead of buying it for $9000!

eBook Review - Creative Landscape Photograhy by Guy Tal
eBook Review - Creative Landscape Photograhy by Guy Tal
Posted by Richard Siggins at Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Back on December 12 I posted about my expanding library of books on photography. In addition to my collection of printed books, I've download several "ebooks" as well. First a little explanation for those of you who aren't familiar with ebooks. An ebook is a digital version of a book. It's not printed but is downloaded to an electronic device for reading. There are a number of different formats for readers such as the Kindle, iPAD, and Nook. Since I don't have any of those, I download mine in Adobe PDF format, which can be read on all those ereaders as well as a Mac or Windows PC.
One of the ebooks I've got in my library is Creative Landscape Photography by Guy Tal. Guy is a naturalist, photographer, author and one of the Staff on Nature Photographers Magazine. I look forward to the days when Guy posts new photos on that site. They are always interesting, inspiring, and beautiful.
I recommend this book and you can buy it directly by clicking the link at top right corner of this web page or at the end of this post. In the spirit of full disclosure, I must tell youI get a couple bucks for each copy sold through my site.
This evening I have been enjoying sitting on the couch and re-reading this book on my laptop. I downloaded it back in December 2010, long before I became an affiliate seller of the book. I would recommend this book, even if I wasn't making a fortune, $2 at a time. At 86 pages, this is the longest ebook I own. In addition the the Introduction, it's divided in seven sections -- The Creative Process, Concept, Visualization, Composition, Capture, Processing and Presentation.
The first four are focused on the art of landscape photography. In the Introduction, Guy says "creative photography is about the expression of subjective ideas, emotions, and sensibilities through the unique beauty of natural elements and using the medium of photography". In the Concept chapter he does a good job of explaining the importance of Awareness and Knowledge and how to convey Emotion the strong role Imagination plays in photography.
The last three chapters contain more how to type information you might find in any digital photography book, including the camera, the lens, exposure, reading a histogram, color balance and stitching pano photos.
This book came out of Guy's photography workshops and includes four exercises designed to get you out taking photos and thinking about the photos your are taking. The exercises are short, usually one page, an assignment and a half dozen questions. You can spend as much or as little time with the exercises as you want. You'll get the most benefit by actually stopping and doing them.
Spring is almost here and I'm re-reading this book to get inspired, recharged, and reminded of those things I need to practice as I head out into God's creation to capture the gift of beauty that's waiting for us.

Back on December 12 I posted about my expanding library of books on photography. In addition to my collection of printed books, I've download several "ebooks" as well. First a little explanation for those of you who aren't familiar with ebooks. An ebook is a digital version of a book. It's not printed but is downloaded to an electronic device for reading. There are a number of different formats for readers such as the Kindle, iPAD, and Nook. Since I don't have any of those, I download mine in Adobe PDF format, which can be read on all those ereaders as well as a Mac or Windows PC.
One of the ebooks I've got in my library is Creative Landscape Photography by Guy Tal. Guy is a naturalist, photographer, author and one of the Staff on Nature Photographers Magazine. I look forward to the days when Guy posts new photos on that site. They are always interesting, inspiring, and beautiful.
I recommend this book and you can buy it directly by clicking the link at top right corner of this web page or at the end of this post. In the spirit of full disclosure, I must tell youI get a couple bucks for each copy sold through my site.
This evening I have been enjoying sitting on the couch and re-reading this book on my laptop. I downloaded it back in December 2010, long before I became an affiliate seller of the book. I would recommend this book, even if I wasn't making a fortune, $2 at a time. At 86 pages, this is the longest ebook I own. In addition the the Introduction, it's divided in seven sections -- The Creative Process, Concept, Visualization, Composition, Capture, Processing and Presentation.
The first four are focused on the art of landscape photography. In the Introduction, Guy says "creative photography is about the expression of subjective ideas, emotions, and sensibilities through the unique beauty of natural elements and using the medium of photography". In the Concept chapter he does a good job of explaining the importance of Awareness and Knowledge and how to convey Emotion the strong role Imagination plays in photography.

WHITE HORSES OF THE CAMARGUE, France with Adam Jones
WHITE HORSES OF THE CAMARGUE, France -- April 15 -22, 2012
Group size limited to 14 (Two Instructors) Adam Jones & Jim Zuckerman
Tour cost: $3875
Single supplement: $1375
Even if you don’t ride horses, you have to appreciate their beauty and grace when they are in motion. They are magnificent, powerful, and very exciting to photograph.
In the Spring of 2012, I am co-leading a photo workshop with Jim Zuckerman to photograph the white horses of the Camargue.
This is a marshy region in southern France where the horses have been living for 5000 years. The Romans knew them, and whenever you see a painting of Napolean rearing on a white horse, he was riding one of these wonderful horses.
During the workshop, we will photograph them running through a marsh, running in the surf at the beach, and running free in a field. In addition, we will have a session with mothers and foals (the young horses are born black and it takes them five years to turn white). We will have six sessions with them at sunrise and sunset to take advantage of the best lighting, and this very special photo opportunity may very well produce some of the best images you’ve ever taken. This will constitute the first half of the workshop, and the latter half will include photographing some of southern France’s most beautiful towns and villages. We will also visit a beautifully preserved Roman aquaduct, and we will do twilight photography to capture the stunning combination of a cobalt blue sky with the golden artificial lights on medieval architecture.
My co-leader in this workshop is Jim Zuckerman, a sensational photographer and extremely knowledgeable instructor. Jim and I complement each other, and you’ll benefit tremendously from our 80 years of combined experience in photography.
Tour cost: $3875, Single supplement: $1375
Price includes all lodging, six photo sessions with the white horses, all ground transportation, all breakfasts, two dinners, and photo instruction.
Price does not include international and domestic airfare, meals except those noted above, tips, drinks, alcoholic beverages, and items of a personal nature.

- Day 2: Monday, April 16. Arrival in Marseilles. You will be met and driven to Arle which will be our base of operations for our six sessions with the beautiful white horses. After dinner, evening photography of this beautiful French town is on the agenda.
- Day 3 – 5: Tuesday through Thursday, April 17-19. You will get some of the most exciting pictures ever as we have six photo sessions with the horses. They will run through the marsh right into our cameras at sunrise and sunset, plus we will have an incredible session at the beach. We will also shoot mothers and foals, stallions, and the herd running around us as we shoot them in beautiful lighting.
- Day 6 – 7: Friday and Saturday, April 20 – 21. In these two days we will explore Provence and photograph many wonderful places including a stunning and dramatic 2000 year old Roman aqueduct, the classically beautiful cloister at Saint Paul de Mausole in St. Remy de Provence, and a fortified palace in Avignon
- Day 8: Saturday, April 22. We drive to Marseilles this morning for our departure from France after having taken truly memorable photographs.

Clash of the HDR Titans: Comparison Review of Photomatix Pro and nik HDR Efex Pro Posted
Clash of the HDR Titans: Comparison Review of Photomatix Pro and nik HDR Efex Pro Posted
By David Cardinal
I've posted my comparison of the top two stand-alone High-Dynamic Range (HDR) image processing programs, the brand new HDR Efex Pro 1.1 from nik Software and Photomatix Pro from HDRSoft the longstanding champion on my blog at B&H's blog site. It's already stirred up some great controversy among readers who each have their favorite. And this version left out a direct comparison with Photoshop's own built-in HDR features which I've written about previously but as Photoshop continues to expand its offerings in this area we'll begin adding it to future versions of our comparisons.

Update Available for Photorescue
From David Cardinal
Update Available for Photorescue – The only camera image recovery software you’ll ever need!
Photorescue has long been a favorite of ours and a virtual “lifesaver” more than once when a card has become corrupted with vital images on it. It is the best product with the best support of any we have found and they’ve backed it up for nearly a decade. Their new release, version 3.2.5, offers support for additional raw formats from new cameras and also better performance for large media and large files (like video!). If you’re a current customer you can upgrade or update or if you’re a new customer you can learn more at our dedicated Photorescue Website. At $29 for Mac and PC you almost can’t afford not to own it!
