BULLZEYE 2
TUTORIAL WRITING:

---

Yesterday was a straight 12
hour
day of  writing the BullZeye2 tutorial… I  finished
the Mac
tutorial and the WIN tutorial is coming today then I will release it
probably Saturday or Sunday with a special offer to B1 owners.
  I
learned from when I started software development that tutorials are
HUGELY important.  When I invented Montage™, I mistakenly went
on
the belief that nobody reads manuals – then of course I was completely
flooded with tech support calls (…how come my footswitch won’t reach the floor…?
“ma’am, that’s a mouse…) 
So although I HATE tutorial writing, I know that people read the
tutorials and it greatly increases their enjoyment of our
product.  So my tutorials are extremely detailed – If you
would

My Canon EOS20D is stuck in FEDEX in
Tennessee
due to weather and I was so primed to do the calibration tests and come
up with my suggested parameter settings… plus I wanted to do a 3 way
test between the 10D, Mark II and the 20D.  One thing about
the
Mark II – I spoke with representatives of Canon as well as Denis Reggie
and was informed that additional lens calibration can remedy the
soft image problems I was having with my Mark II.  Therefore I
am
going to send my camera in but I wanted to do some “before” and “after”
calibration images to show the difference.  The Mark II is a
beast
of a camera – a huge advance for Canon – but my tests showed that it
simply was quite soft, so I went back to the 10D for my Canon
stuff.  Hopefully the 20D gets here this weekend and I have
the
3way test for you on my upcoming newsletter…

DENVER DIGITAL INTENSIVE SURVIVOR GROUP

---

We had to survive 1) two fire alarms during our program, 2) a complete power outage in the entirehotel and 3) an LCD projector that kept going down.  But they all seem to be smiling goofy so we have been having a great time. 
Whenever I think that I’ve earned a break from doing Digital Intensive workshops, I get pumped by the students and I also hear more harmful and dangerous digital myths.  So I feel good that I’m teaching the RIGHT information.

Today I received samples of my latest CORNERSTONE book via FEDX delivered to the class, and honestly everyone went nuts.  The book is SO beautiful and just amazing.  Tomorrow, everyone is going to see the world debut of BullZeye2.  I have some really AWFUL images I’m going to correct that seem like they are lost forever – totally blown out and awful color – just watch how I fix it!

I’m in a great mood but also REALLY tired.  G’night!

BABY PHOTOJOURNALISM -

---

Digital photography is a natural
for shooting children, and I have had the most awesome time
photographing kids as a result of the benefits of shooting digital.
First of all, since kids are so unpredictable, the shoot is challenging
and never the same! And letting the child go around freely, just being
him/herself, you get the best images. This is my friend Michelle’s
daughter Brianna. She is just the CUTEST little thing. And when you
think about how many generations your images will be treasured (from
grandparents to Brianna’s grandchildren’s archives) – professional
photographs of children are a tremendous creative and business
opportunity. If I was heavily shooting my clientele, it would all be
about children’s photography for me…

This collage was produced using my collagebuilder – click here for details!

with the CORNERSTONE FINE ART COFFEE TABLE BOOK! Woo hoo! (do I sound
excited or what) Anyway PLEASE check out this book! click here!

VENICE ITALY, AT NIGHT

Here
are some great photos from the Grand Canal taken with the Fuji
S20.  I am going to do another travel book, and I think it’s
easier if I go ahead and do the album pages at the end of each day, or
it won’t get done.  So I created three page spreads with the
Panorama Power Console… you can see the pages I did so far by
clicking here…

HI FROM VENICE ITALY!
Well it is BEAUTIFUL here in Venice! Just a short flight from Nice airport, it feels like it is a world away. Did you know that this city is floating on a lagoon? I thought they dug out the canals like they did in my neighborhood of Venice, California – but no… the entire city is like 100 different little islands floating on pine logs (they do not rot because there is no oxygen where they sunk the piles.. some of the pine logs are 1,000 years old) and the canals go between the different islands, and the entire city is floating! It takes a lot of work to do that! I couldn’t help but look at the big chunk of land before the bridge that takes you to Venice and think – hmm why didn’t they build over there? Anyway, it’s beautiful! They don’t speak english here – or french – or spanish – ARRRGH so I’m back to feeling like the foreigner again – (oh by the way I can speak French pretty good now!) So get this – to get to our hotel, we had to get a taxi from the airport to a WATER taxi – total trip! And it only cost about $120 euros to get to the hotel! (about $160 USD) No wonder there are no americans here! (these are I think Koreans in this gondola – no relation): It is a photographer’s paradise here – check out this IR image of a gondola on the water (taken with the Nikon CoolPix990 IR conversion).
