HORSE PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP WITH CAROL WALKER IN SEPTEMBER -

Horse Photography Workshop with Carol Walker 2012

This year we are excited to be able to offer a horse photography workshop at a working cattle ranch in Montana, in one of the most beautiful areas of the country. There are seven mountain ranges visible from the ranch, and over 25,000 beautiful acres. Bonanza Creek Ranch was voted one of Montana's Magnificent 7 Guest Ranches in Montana by Travel and Leisure. Lodging, meals and travel from Bozeman Airport and back again are included in the price.

Check this link to learn about the ranch: http://www.bonanzacreekcountry.com/

September 23 – 28, 2012: Four days and five nights at Bonanza Creek Ranch
Price: $2500

Carol Walker, author of the award winning book Horse Photography: The Dynamic Guide for Horse Lovers enjoys working with students to help them improve their images of horses. She is known for her ability to break down concepts about photography into easily understood basics.

The Workshop

This workshop will be limited to 12 participants, In order to take advantage of the best light, we will have two photo shoots each day, one in the early morning, and one in the late afternoon. In the middle of the day, we will have a two hour classroom session. The theme of this workshop will be learning how to improve your photographs of horses, and the workshop is suitable for amateur photographers who want to improve their skills as well as for experienced photographers who want to learn how to photograph horses. Carol will give hands on instruction before and during and after the shoots, so that you can learn as you are photographing in the field.

As a courtesy to Carol, who I've never met, but respect her work trying to save the wild horses and burros of our American west, I thought I'd post it for all of you to see. Maybe you can join her.

This pertains to the photography industry, but it began with NAFTA and GATT and will continue to do so on a larger scale under the Obama regime.

TOURISTS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS BEWARE - YOU ARE ENTERING A POLICE STATE AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THOSE PICTURES

Do you think I'm going to take my grandkids to MY HOME TOWN, and be subject to a police state on a holiday?

Do you think I would spend one cent on anything in any place that would support policy like this?

IN CASE YOU NOTICED THE BABY BIRDS - HERE'S THEIR STORY. THEY ARE CAROLINA WRENS.

Sometime in June, I was hanging sheets on the line. On my clothesline I had hung an old bedspread (my neighbor works at a thrift shop) that I folded and used for a dog bed. So I let it hang there until I need it after the fleas subside a bit.

I was holding the sheet in front of me when a little rusty bird flew between it and my knees and landed on the fence. It was a Carolina wren, blessed with a melodious song and cute ways. One of their habits is to nest in full site. I've had a nest in the pipe bumper of my old truck, in boxes in the shed, between electric conduits and the wall of a shed, in a pocket of an old pair of shorts. They even nested on top of a battery in my friend's car years ago, and one nested in a flower pot hanging on my porch. They creep around on tree bark looking for insects, and forage among the leaves. They are busy, pretty little things, not much bigger than a canary. Their song is powerful and can be heard all over the neighborhood.

The closest object was the bedspread. I noticed a little bulge in the third sewn section down and carefully ran my finger down the opening. There it was! The nest was poked deeply into a hole the cheap nylon batting. It was very skillfully made of Spanish moss, lichen, moss, the skeletal remains of a nasty, invasive vine called smilax, dog hair, bits of paper. Between the nest proper was a trail of Spanish moss that served as an entrance aid. There were three or four eggs, large for such small birds.

I stood at the sink or on the back steps watching for the parents. When I was sure they weren't around, I photographed the progress of the eggs. One day there were tiny, naked, blind babies in there. I didn't go back for a while. When I did, the one in front gave me the shot with the open mouth. "FEED ME!" It had grown so much, and covered with down.

The parents were so busy bringing food and removing large fecal capsules from the nest to keep it clean.

On July 4th, the day the photo at the top was taken, I was met at the entrance to the nest by this fledgling. It backed up and suddenly burst from the nest (you can see it was fully feathered). It landed by the fence and I tried to catch it to no avail. It hopped into the brush and vines in the wooded lot nextdoor.

I sat on the steps. I felt like I was responsible for the death of this baby. Almost immediately the two parents showed up, clung to the bedspread at the entrance and looked at each other. They were astounded - or at least surprised. The last baby wasn't there! In a second they were across the fence and leading the baby away into the woods.

The nest was empty!

All of them had fledged on Independence Day!

I hear the parents often now, but they are well protected by the blackberries and in the woods. They don't bring the babies out of there. I suspect they will come back again, welcome visitors to this little acre that sits across from Sleepy Creek.

DIY PHOTOGRAPHY - POP-UP BOOKS FROM YOUR PHOTOS

http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/make-a-photo-flip-flap-album/?utm_source=Photojojo+Newsletter&utm_campaign=06146b3ff0-Flip_flap_album6_2_2011&utm_medium=email

I adore pop-up books. I still have, in a box of mementos, an old Raggedy Ann and Andy pop-up that I was given as a child. Most precious to me. So now I give extraordinary pop-ups to my grandchildren. They are not only wonderful as to content (the Sabuda/Reinhart series), but they are intricate pieces of sculptural, graphic art and the children LOVE them (but so does Grandma).

These little photo books, depending on your expertise, may not be as exciting, but precious as well to someone, even if it's just for you. It's something I'd love to do - and a trip to a natural history museum may make your creativity quotient just soar.
