Since my last post I've not only been to Mexico but I have been to Jamacia for a mission trip and I got a lot of "People" shots but no model releases. I also got some good shots of fruit, children, goats and many other things associated with Jamacia. It was very interesting and something I never thought I would do but as it turned out it was a good experience for me; and, yes something I would do again.
Last evening I was talking to a friend about a new camera she had purchased while I was gone and had also taken several classes that were offered along with the camera. She seems to be frustrated by the camera but I think if given time she will master the camera and be pleased with the results. It seems that one thing she learned from the class is that she must have a tripod in ordered to get those sharp-tack photos and that is one of things that we as photographer cannot stress enough everyone seems to think "OH I can hold a camera straight enough and don't need a tripod for it" but they can't not even with the special lens. Sure they can hold it almost perfectly steal but not quite it will show up in the photo. So you see she is over the biggest hurled and with practice and time she will learn the rest.
Today birds were everywhere even in the wind. I got my camera out and took several photos but none of them were as good as I wanted. It was great to see the birds and know that spring is just around the corner. There is lots to do before that and I can hardly wait. Now is the hardest time for me because I love taking photos and I don't feel now is the time but it will soon be. Now is the time to map out things and get your date book out and see what you found last Jan., Feb. see what you can go back to the things you wrote down last year that you took photos of but for some reason the weather was not just right or the season or maybe you could not get close to it. You see what I mean; now is time to make plans for the next few weeks.
Hope you have a good week and enjoy the Wilderness.
