Hey Guys!  I’m back from Nashville, had a great trip, more on that in a minute.  First, the America From 500 Feet Book Volumes I & II is out and in the bookstore!  Please check it out!  Next Up;  Learning To See Photographically a guide to seeing and making  better images!

 

O.K. Jack Graham is back from his two tour duties in Iceland and you need to check out his website for some spectacular images from the two trips.   http://www.jackgrahamphoto.com/photo-workshops   Once on his website go to the upper left hand corner and click on Ultimate Iceland.   His work from there is stunning!

The Nelson event has small numbers and will be a very intimate shooting experience!!!!   If interested contact Jack ASAP.  This what we shoot in Nelson and the Neon Bone Yard!

 

 

 

I had a great dinner last night in Nashville at Rotiers with Ricky Skaggs, Country Music/Blue Grass Legend and our Nashville host of the annual July workshop in Nashville!!!  Justin, Stacey, Jackie all of Fuji,   Nick Coury, our Nashville man with the plan!!!   Brad Mikel and his lovely wife Toni!  What a nice evening enjoying great food and wonderful friends!  Below our crazy gang!  Shot By Jackie with her Fuji X100T controlled with her iPhone!!!

 

 

 

Finally, I slipped off from Imaging USA show for a while yesterday before dinner and went over to Antique Archaeology, to shoot a few images.  Armed with only my Fuji X100T, (fast becoming one of my favorite cameras of all time),  and no tripod, I captured a few hand held images that I’m happy with, I’ll let you be the judge!  All shot at ISO 3200!!!!!

 

 

 

Blessings,

      I am doing well. I actually quit my job and went full time photography. Not making any money but at least I am doing it on my terms. This is the best I have felt in 20 years. I just need to trust God and do my best. 🙂

  3. Bill (and everyone),

    I never knew what I was missing in not having the print version of these two great books…..and now to have them both, available on my tablet and my large screen monitor just blows me away! As always, thanks to you, Bill, for sharing this with us, and thank you, Lord, for providing such a beautiful country for us to cherish! (and with these two new books, I look forward to cherishing the photos over and over).

    In a way, I’m glad I didn’t get the print version after all…..I’d have it dog-eared and worn out in no time….this way, the only thing wearing out is my mouse-driving finger!

    (Oh, and yes, I made the leap: traded most of my Canon gear for the Fuji X-T1. My first concert shoot with it is next Tuesday)

    All the best,
    Scotty B.
