Every day I spend the morning catching up on the latest. Prudentbear.com, Kitco.com, Bert’s site, Tour of Amercia’s site, and more. I thought I’d tell you about some of the “more” today.
Photo Ideas
Well, I always check out Bert’s Blog to see what the Gildarts are up to. Plus I enjoy Bert’s photos, and normally I wish I was out with them……keep teasing me about coming up to MT this summer Bert….I’m listening! 
Beyond checking out Bert’s site I have several more I check regularly. My new favorite is Scott Kelby’s Blog, Photoshop Insider. Fantastic site, and I’ve got to point out a recent post. Last Friday at the Photoshop Insider site there was a post regarding backing up your drives. It was perfectly timed. See, a friend had a drive failure, called me in a panic, etc. I’d actually told them last year their computer was on it’s last leg. Slow, a problem child, etc. Not a good scene. The best part….the computer is used in my friend’s business, but they didn’t see the point of a new system. The failure still didn’t drive it home. Check out Scott’s article, and BACK UP!
Just to let you know, months ago I did a HUGE post on backing up. Do you remember it? Did you backup? If you didn’t, please don’t call me in a panic when your system totally fails.
Sorry for the aside….back to photo sites.
Since I’ve really developed an interest in HDR I’ve been checking out a few of the heavy hitters in HDR. One of my favorites is Ben Wilmore. Go figure, the guy is traveling the country with a big RV, doing lectures, and taking his photos. Amazing. Another tech person on the road making his way.
I’ve also been reading Stuck in Customs. Talk about some amazing photos! Trey Ratcliff is the site host, and he’s an amazing photographer! Seriously, go look through his portfolio and tell me he’s not. His shots were the ones that inspired me to try out HDR myself. Months ago someone mentioned HDR to me, and when I did a Google search I found Trey’s site…… By the way, his site is slow to load. See, it’s full of super cool images, so be patient.
Bit off more than I can chew……
Well, I’ve got more links for you, but there’s your start. See, I had a few phone calls this morning (already), and now I need to get ready for work. Yup, work on Memorial day. I’m out of time. I type fast, but when distractions come up the blog takes a little longer to complete.
Oh, and I’ve got Thursday and Friday free, so look for some new photos later in the week. If you have any requests or ideas let me know!

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for the kinds words about my blog, and for passing on the whole “back up your system” thing. It’s more important than most people know.
Keep up the good work with your blog!

Thanks for stopping by! Glad to provide a link. I’ve been passing along several of your titles for a while now to friends & clients. Thanks for the books and information! Can’t count the number of times I’ve pointed someone to The Digital Photography Book.
