The absolute best would be a snow and ice storm with colder than usual temperatures snow encrusted Snow Monkey faces have BBC potential. Snowing is excellent as well, as long as the flakes are not so large, thick, and heavy that AF has a problem in that case, you can simply turn the AF switch to M and focus manually.

There should be no end in sight until my big South America trip next fall. Today’s blog post marks a totally insane, irrational, illogical, preposterous, absurd, completely ridiculous, unfathomable, silly, incomprehensible, what’s wrong with this guy?, makes-no-sense, 298 days in a row with a new educational blog post. Too many folks attending IPTs and dozens of the folks whom I see in the field, and on BPN, are–out of ignorance–using the wrong gear, especially when it comes to tripods and more especially, tripod heads… Please know that I am always glad to answer your gear questions via e-mail. 175 would be lovely… Nice and slow is best, and as I get older, it ain’t as easy as it use to be. This week I lost another pound down to 183 3/4 on Sunday morning, September 4. Yikes! Last Sunday morning, aided by my pre-colonoscopy fast, I tipped the scales at 184 3/4. After eating eight jars of various healthy and very delicious nut butters on my 5-week Long Island trip, I weighed 188 3/4 on that first morning after getting back home. When I left home in mid-July, I weighed in at 182, my fighting weight.

You have no control over the layout of the contact sheet.On Sunday morning, I continued working on blog posts to be published during my more than nine-week trip to South America. Each photo is assigned a block that is approximately 210 pixels high and 180 to 200 pixels wide. The resulting catalog window (Contact Sheet in Photo Mechanic’s terminology) takes up most of the screen. Ingest Disks… lets you import all the photographs from a card reader or any drive connected via FireWire or USB. You use the resulting Open dialog box to select a disk or folder containing images you wish to catalog. Open Contact Sheet… should be renamed Create Contact Sheet, since that is its function. You create a catalog by selecting either Open Contact Sheet… or Ingest Disks… from the File menu. Images can be imported directly from compatible cards for loading into Photo Mechanic catalogs and (optionally) storage on a hard drive. Photo Mechanic is designed primarily to work with card readers that allow Compact Flash Cards, Memory Sticks, Secure Digital Multimedia Cards, or SmartMedia Cards to be mounted on the desktop.
