Sun Coming Up

Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 23 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This was as the sun gradually began to rise. We never did get the light for which we were hoping. (Note: Based on some of the initial comments yesterday, I went back and cropped it down to the river. If you were an early commenter, you might want to check it out.)

Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada

Absolutely Gorgeous Jack. How was the workshop. Scott Kelby in person eh, Lucky you. I only get to learn from his books.

24 May 2009 4:00am

@Lee: Thanks, Lee. Your comment made me check back and realize that I had forgotten to click "Save and Edit" after I put up a blurb on the seminar that was supposed to appear on today's post. So I've redone it for tomorrow. Kelby was super in the morning; not so super in the afternoon. With the exception of short changing the Print module, he was very helpful on the things that were of interest to me. Let me put it this way, his seminar was better than his books.
