How To Plan A Photo With PhotoPills
In this tutorial, Rafael, the Bard of PhotoPills, gives me an extensive lesson on how to use the PhotoPills app to plan for the best sunset, full moon, Milky Way and star trails at the fallen arch at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast. PhotoPills users, as well as those just curious about how the PhotoPills app works, will find this session enlightening and helpful.

In A Crisis, The Small Things Make A Difference
Greetings! As the coronavirus pandemic worsens, I hope you are OK. I am saddened by these challenging times, which are really just starting. Whether it will be illness, loss of work, isolation, mental health or other impacts yet to be known, we are all going to be hurt by this. But some will hurt more than others. It is more important than ever for us to work together, look out for one another and help each other. For that reason, Jennifer Bagshaw and I are pledging 25% of the income from my photography tutorials during the crisis to the Oregon Community Foundation and other organizations that will be able to best support people in need. My friend Tony Kuyper is doing the same. It isn't much but it’s one thing we can do, and we will look for other ways to do more. More than just the money, I'm sharing the sentiment in hopes it will add to a spirit of giving, loving and helping which will swell in the days and months to come. We all have different circumstances and different capacities to help. Some of us will need more help than we can give. But, if you can, please help in whatever way you are able. All the small things will make a difference. I give my thanks to all who are and will be helping...especially our healthcare heroes. May you be safe, may you be healthy, may you be well.

Fix Edge Halos With Darker Color Cloning
Ever have a problem with light edge halos cropping up in your images as you develop them? You often don't see them in screen size images, but they can ruin a nice print. In my latest video tutorial I show an easy and fairly quick way to make them disappear called Darker Color Cloning. I use it all the time and I think many photographers will find it useful. Check it out and leave a comment if you have any questions.
Snow Bound in the Palouse
A colleague and I survived an epic winter journey to the far reaches of Washington State. This old farmhouse and grove of trees was found in the rolling hills of the Palouse region. We were rescued by a friendly farmer when our truck ended up axle deep in the snowy ditch.
