Scenes I saw can almost be buried in raw data, making it hard to see. I use a Raw processor to reveal & preserve data for careful editing in Photoshop.

For help improving your editing skills, my virtual Raw to Photoshop class 2/25.

I captured this image of a great egret in the afternoon light over the Merced National Wildlife Refuge in California's San Joaquin Valley. This bird was one of a small launch of egrets from the 1000s of sandhill cranes and snow geese below. Purchase print: https://t.co/WOprweLglc

Image interpretation & editing tools bridge the gap between a camera record and what you see. My half-day virtual class explores these tools for realism.

Tucked In. Iridescent Pigeon. Sharp Park Beach. Pacifica, CA.
An outing with a friend who wanted to test a long lens with some birds, yielded some unexpected portraits. I've always loved pigeons and their beautiful coloring.

December Featured Print.
Snowy Egret on Rocks. Point Lobos, CA. 2022
Our workshop was entranced by the rocks and waves when this Snowy Egret landed. It made for a wonderful contrast with the dark rock and water reflections.

Mars slipping behind the Moon tonight. Mars at 51 million miles, Moon at 250k miles. Mars: 4,222 miles in diameter, Moon: 2159 miles. The ISS flew above just before, arcing across the western sky as a meteor streaked down just below. Quite a space evening.
